Your house, your power: Why real estate is the ultimate investment for the indep...

Own your space, shape your future

India is witnessing a new investment approach and it is going to be led by women. Gone are the days when Indian women waited to be given permission to invest their own money — today, women are investing in property and building wealth and investing in their future on their own accord as working professionals, entrepreneurs and businesswomen.

So, what is it about real estate that has everyone talking about it? Here is the breakdown:

1. Real Security in an Unknown World

The pandemic reminded us of 1 thing, having something that is real, something that we can hold onto, is so important. Real estate investment is not just about the money, but the stability and the peace of mind that real estate provides. Unlike the volatility of the market (stocks and cryptocurrencies), property stands firm as an asset. Property will appreciate over time, and you have something to hold on to that is real. Today women investors are not even thinking about quick investment returns. Women investors are asking themselves questions regarding their long-term plan: What does my children's future look like? What does my retirement look like? What do I want to build and leave behind for my family? That is not speculation, that is planning.

2. Rethinking the Metro Dream

Let's be honest, the price of property in metro cities is ludicrous. You can spend a small fortune for a tiny flat and realize a measly 4-5% in appreciation at best.

In the meantime, tier-2 cities like Jaipur and Jodhpur are all set to become strong investment markets. They are affordable, with better infrastructure and even greater appreciation potential.

Take, for example, Ashapurna NRI Early investors doubled their money that's a 200% return. Try getting that in South Mumbai.

Ashapurna Buildcon Ltd. has been building in these markets for years, and they understand what actually drives value in Tier-II cities. It's not hype; it's fundamentals.

3. Government Encouraged Property Ownership

Here's some good news - the present policies are very friendly towards a woman who is buying a home.

Lower Interest Rates: Numerous banks will offer interest rates for home loans that are lower by 0.05% to 0.1%. This can be a lot of savings over a term of 20 years!

Stamp Duty Giveback: Certain states (like Rajasthan) have a provision that allows for reduced stamp duty for homes registered in a woman's name - bonafide savings from the moment you make the home purchase!

Tax Deductions: Sections 80C and 24 allow that homebuyers obtain tax deductions for both principal and interest payments, whereby the annual tax benefit is real!

PMAY Benefits: The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) puts women ownership first in terms of benefit and providing that is a huge means of empowering women for financially to own an asset over a longer time in the future.

The government isn't merely asking women to look and purchase homes - they are handing aggressive benefits, and one could see significant savings in cash flow when entering the home when affirming the least cost on would literals can mean that over time the savings can add up quickly and actually stimulate the economy; and, it is certainly not an expense!

4. Your Money, Your Choice

The age of dinner table property discussions and women simply agreeing is over. Today, women confidently walk into a property office, asking thoughtful questions about location, capital growth, resale value, and loan terms.

And nothing is more liberating than signing those documents yourself. Property is the control of your space, it is independence, it is your peace of mind. Property is more than just an asset — it is freedom that cannot be taken away from you.

5. Developers Are Listening

Developers are recognizing that women are more than just influencers of the home-buying process — they are decision makers too. And the best are developing communities that make that change.

Enhanced Safety: Gated communities with 24-hour, seven-day-per-week security, CCTV, and access controls are common place. Companies like Ashapurna Buildcon Ltd see safety as a priority, not simply something to be added once they have sold the last home.

Meaningful Amenities: Forget the flashing and gathering dust; the women homebuyers want practical affordable amenities — well-lit walking tracks, children’s parks, and community spaces that facilitate living in the community.

Transparency: The new generation of developers believes in clear communication, fair pricing, and regular updates, no hidden costs or confusing fine print.

Final Thoughts-

If you're working and earning money, and not yet a property owner... it's time to take the plunge!

The numbers make sense, incentives are substantial, and opportunities are real. Whether a little flat or a villa in a growing urban center, property ownership isn't just about return on investment, it's about securing your future.

At the end of the day, your home is not just your home — it is your power.

Your home. Your asset. Your future.
