Women in India are turning to be decision maker than just an influencer. Indian women have achieved a lot more milestones and now have the capabilities to make investment decisions on their own. When women are educated as much as men at home then it is obvious that they can make a decision as to where to invest and where to not. Women in every Indian home seem to be thinking more about investment and savings, and in the recent decade, it has been observed that Indian women prefer to invest in real estate than gold or FD’s. So, what makes Indian women prefer real estate investment over gold or FD’s.

It is not hidden that women in India have become independent and powerful in terms of finances. Men in their families have also started supporting women to build their own empires. Owning a home is the strongest security factor they could build for themselves. Especially women across urban India seem to be investing more in real estate either to diversify their investment options or just to take the leverage of multiple benefits that are exclusively available for women.

According to the recent ANAROCK-LIC Housing Finance Consumer Sentiment survey, About 57 % of Indian women respondents said that they would prefer real estate as an investment option. While 28 % of them said they would like to invest in the share market, and about 11 % of women preferred FD’s as a good investment option. And just 4 % of them revealed gold is good as an investment option. This survey revealed the modern women’s strategic mind and they have changed their mindset over a period of time.

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the home loan interest rates had almost spiked to 10-12 % but now after pandemic situations, the home loan interest rate has almost declined to 8-6.75 %. This has given an opportunity to people who had been thinking about buying homes.
