The recent survey by India Mortgage Guarantee Corporation (IMGC) shows some staggering result in the real estate front. According to the report, the high property prices and interest rates drive away the potential buyers. These are the major deterrent for the middle income group buyer to put the property investment on hold.

The high interest rates are also acting as a limiting factor in property purchasing followed by the every soaring property prices and the unavailability of the loan that suits the pocket.

According to the survey report, only 32 percent live in the home they brought themselves. Almost 38 percent still live with their parents and the rest 30 percent live in the rented houses.

Half of the people are looking forward to buying the affordable homes with less that 500 sq feet carpet area.  Metros and mini metros are the preferred options for the buyers to invest in. around 31 percent would prefer to invest in the property in their home town.
