Overall, 64% of Tenants Are Looking to Buy Homes In 2024

This is great news for the real estate industry as it means there is a chance for unsold inventory to finally be taken off the market.

When compared to last year, there is a 10% increase in people looking to move from renting to owning a home. This could be due to the various steps that banks and the government has taken to make owning a house possible such as –

• Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) and Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS)
• The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority Scheme (MHADA)
• Delhi Development Authority Housing Scheme (DDA)
• Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao (NTR) Urban Housing Scheme
• Tamil Nadu Housing Board Scheme (TNHB)
• Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA)
• Standardised tax rates (GST)
• ‘Housing for All’ scheme (offers subsidised interest rates on home loans)

With so many policies and so many rate cuts, there is no time like the present to buy a home. In fact, 71% of renters see the home loan rate cuts as a positive change and are more likely to buy a house because if this.
