Flushed with moolah, those buyers are choosing up houses across the US, from California to Connecticut, either to reside or invest for the long run.
For Suresh Alluri, who lives in New Jersey and is from an IT background, buying a home gave him a feeling of settling down. “When I came to the US 10 years ago, I wanted to shop for a area, however was not sure if I would settle right here. Since then, I were given married and had two children. Buying my own home changed into the desire of the hour.”
Sridhar Srinivasan, who bought his house 16 years ago in Connecticut, says he did so as a result of he planned to stay in the US in spite of not having a green card. “The state of affairs hasn’t changed even now amongst Indians,” he says. Besides the ‘settler’ sentiment, maximum Telugu consumers say their need to purchase a house is rooted of their Indian upbringing, which makes one wish to “invest and develop”. Srinivasan says those who bought realty for investment are reaping the earnings now in a dealers’ market. “A friend shifting out from Connecticut to Seattle sold his area in a year. This in spite of it being a million greenback house!” he said.
Padma Sonti, who owns Padma Sonti Homes with Keller Williams Realty, and does business within the Greater Boston Area says, investing in US realty remains to be a really perfect possibility. “I consider that real property is the only investment channel the place there is not any concept of general loss.”
