Real estate has been considered a sound investment asset in the Indian tradition. The Covid-19 pandemic has reaffirmed the significance of realty as a stable investment asset against alternative classes, such as shares, mutual funds, etc. While commercial real estate is a highly sought-after segment due to its resilience and regular income potential, residential real estate is relatively more accessible and allows seamless management.

Moreover, Covid-19 has prompted the rethinking of investment decisions to hedge against risks. The pandemic can be regarded as an inflexion point for real estate as it has reformed the sector for the better.
