In fact, sometimes a staycation can be a better option than a vacation during holiday season. Haven’t all of us faced frayed nerves, when we travel through the crowded airports or railway stations? Remember the scenes of all tourist places, which we see as pictures in newspaper around New Year holidays. Long traffic jams and people all around don’t let you rest and often make the whole experience more tiring. The only thing that is difficult to bring in a staycation is the adventure that you may get in a travel.

Here are some ideas to have adventure without leaving your home:

  1. If you stay in a well-developed housing complex by a reputed developer, you can find enough places to go out on a picnic within its perimeter. You can involve a couple of families more and organize a small singing party around fire and order food from outside. This could be more fun than your vacation at any hotel in a tourist place.
  2. If you like reading books and watching movies, get your best picks and enjoy with these. With some of the largest hotels, like Taj in the town offering a home dinner, you can just relax and get a sumptuous dinner served to you by the best in business. This could be a wonderful surprise to your spouse and kids, and will cost you a fraction of cost that you might have incurred on travel otherwise.
  3. Camping out is another idea that excites young and old alike. If you are living in a township, you can find enough nice places to camp out an evening. You can have a bonfire and the whole family can cook together. The whole experience will be a learning experience for kids and stress relieving for elders.
  4. Home swap is another wonderful idea during staycation. You could do this house swap with a relative or a friend for a few days. If you are part of different housing complexes, you will enjoy a different life around you. The flora and fauna and the whole routine change itself will have a very calming effect.

These adventurous ideas will make your life take a break from routine and will have similar benefits as when you go out on a vacation.

Luxury affordable homes – Mid income home buyers’ choice

Last few years have been tough for Indian real estate market. RERA and GST took a huge toll on the real estate market of India from 2018 onwards and it took a couple of years for developers and buyers to understand the implications and reorganise themselves. The tension in this market was palpable after the liquidation of the Non-banking Financial Companies. The NBFCs had been the main stay of growth in Indian real estate sector for last many years, as they helped bridge the cash flow gaps between the customers and real estate developers. This resulted in customers looking out for houses that can offer modern lifestyle but are available at an affordable price. This gave birth to a new phenomena in Indian housing sector – Luxury affordable homes.

Luxury affordable homes have been a paradigm shift in Indian housing market. While earlier, one had to choose between a house with all modern amenities at a steep price, or a home deprived of any amenity and located in a poor location available at a discounted price. Hitting a middle ground between cheap housing and international amenities, luxury affordable homes are meeting the expectations of new age consumers without charging a premium. It also brings a great hope for mid-income buyers. These are the buyers who could not afford a luxury home with all amenities and wanted a balance between price and facilities offered in a decent location. These customers are well travelled and expected the world standards to be followed in construction as well as surroundings and finishing of their homes. This new segment has met the expectations of these mid income families and customers have supported such projects with enthusiasm. The design and planning elements like infrastructure, amenities, nearby convenience and availability of transport have become important considerations for a contented life and affordable luxury homes have met the requirement of customers well.

Let’s understand some of the attributes of these houses. These housing projects are generally a part of large housing complexes and economies of scale allows builders to offer houses with modern specifications at a price that is steep. Development teams also spend considerable time in choosing a location for such projects which are in a well connected area but has not seen land prices appreciating absurdly over last few years. Typically such projects will have excellent surroundings and good infrastructure development inside. They have landscaped gardens and other essential amenities like swimming pool and  gym. However, these are not ostentatious and are more functional, catering to higher number of residents, with ease and with lower cost of maintenance. Another hallmark of such projects is the detailed planning and use of latest construction technologies to bring down the time and cost required to build these projects ground up.

Innovation in architectural design, space management, sustainable solutions and much more are now essentials for any new development compared to how it was earlier. Consumers are attracted with the offers of affordable yet modern looking housing options. Newer methods of construction and architectural designs are making maximum possible use of sustainable development, to which a big value is attached by today’s discerning customers. The provision of solar power, rain water harvesting etc. make these projects much sought after. The mid income customer finds this as a great proposition as he can get what he wanted at a price which he can afford.
