How to get a higher return on your real estate investment
The market for the housing industry too changes as per various factors. There are times when prices fluctuate from higher amounts to lower amounts depending on certain elements. Mortgage rates, loan interest rates and the ease of access to credit and legal activities that are essential for the transfer of property ownership are a few things that buyers and sellers both consider before selling or buying a house or an apartment. Surprisingly, the best time to buy in the industry is directed opposite to the best time to sell. Below are a few ways on how to read the market to get the best of your housing investment.
Economic Growth
The housing industry is highly dependent on the incomes of people in the country. Economic growth occurs when the country's income as a whole begins to increase. This also includes the increase in income of each individual. The more money people have, the more they are able to spend on luxury goods (income elastic goods) like apartments at Cinnamon Life Colombo. However, the demand is bound to drive prices higher. Individuals earning higher income will be able to invest a higher percentage of their finances in a house or modern living space.
Likewise, during a recession, the income of the entire country will fall, which means that individual incomes also reduce. Due to this, individuals will not be able to afford high-end properties, some might even be unable to pay up mortgages and have their homes repossessed.
Demographics
In this case, demographics refer to the structure of the population - gender, age, race, population growth, income, and migration patterns. This factor might be neglected very often but is one that forms the base for the future of housing and real estate. For instance, if the country has an ageing population, it means that the pension is the only income they get. With this, they are unlikely to invest in the housing industry especially if children have already moved out on their own. If the population is young, they will soon earn higher incomes and have families of their own which means the housing industry is likely to thrive for a certain period of time. Also, if the number of migrants increases, they may initially stay at one of the Colombo hotels but will be on the lookout for a permanent residence as well. There is likely to be another increase in demand for places to stay in this case.
Interest Rates
This refers to mortgage interest rates for those who will be buying out houses with a mortgage loan. If the interest rates increase, then the cost of buying a house in addition to the monetary value of the property will also increase. This will result in a reduction of demand for residential real estate and thus will result in a reduction of the price of each property. If the interest rates decrease, buying a house with a loan becomes cheaper which will increase demand for houses and luxury apartments. This will push up the prices of properties. It can be said that the prices of the housing industry and interest rates have an inverse relationship.
This being said, interest rates and investments that go into real estate trust funds will have a direct relationship as the return on investment is higher.
Supply in the market
The number of properties available for sale in the market in a certain region will affect the prices of the houses here as well. If there is more supply of properties, prices of houses are likely to fall. If there is excess demand and less supply, on the other hand, prices of houses or apartments will increase.
