Returns on investments for the residential property had slowed down late last year due to the uncertainty around the August 8th polls and the repeat polls by 3.2% but they slowly regained from late November last year and are on a steady rise.
The total returns were pegged at 9.4% last year against an impressive 12.6% in 2016. On the other hand, the rise in property prices had nearly halved late last year to 3.8% from 7.4% because the investors were most probably shying away from long-term investments as they awaited the outcome of the polls but after the elections, everything seems to have returned to normalcy.
Rental yields, however, have been on a steady rise even with the events surrounding the last year’s election…but generally, the real estate market has stabilized with this brief period in 2018.
