As a real estate developer with the expertise of two decades, while investing in a home, the high-profile Millennials of today are more attracted to world-class facilities with the luxury of comfort amidst nature in a like-minded community, not just the location or price.

Millennials with upper income look for a space embodied with unique and exquisite living, nestled among large chunks of residential developments with a copious amount of green cover. The amalgamation of brilliant architectural design and cutting-edge engineering, accomplished meticulously to fulfill the needs of high-net-worth individuals (HNIs) who are accustomed to and expect the best in everything.

Despite the 2020 pandemic, luxury real estate has emerged as one of the fastest-growing real estate sectors in 2022. According to researchers, luxury real estate will grow by 40% annually in the coming years. Last year, in the first quarter, sales of luxury properties valued above Rs 5 crore increased by 23%, up from 16% in the fourth quarter of 2021.

However, let’s first define luxury homes that are closer to nature.

Ideally, a luxury home is an indulgence with sheer grandeur and elegance. They are distinguished by their open layouts, high ceilings, eco-friendly spaces, and stunning vistas.

India also ranked 6th in the growth of HNIs who are self-made Millennials.

Attributes luring Millennials to Invest in Luxury Real Estate

According to a recent survey conducted by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), both younger and older Millennials between the ages of 22 and 40—make up 37% of the total home buyers; the spike in Millennial homebuyers is a result of a variety of circumstances. With economic changes brought on by Covid-19, we can see that Millennials prefer to invest in the real estate market at the moment due to volatile markets, recession, high incomes, and thriving employment as they find it to be the safest option when compared to other asset classes.

Now, let’s dive into some of the features that attract today’s Millennials to the luxury segment.

1. Green is the new Luxury

Given how environmentally conscious Millennials are, their concerns would also affect their real estate choices. Recent years have seen a change in how investors perceive their buying patterns, encouraging them to allocate their capital to safer, more profitable green ventures. From an investment standpoint, millennials are more likely to invest in sustainable real estate as they are more inclined to homes with large open spaces, green covers, and top-class amenities-
