In ancient times, even during the Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro civilizations, real estate existed. The distance of a property from the king’s fort would determine its price. The elite and rich class would reside in higher places, while the poor and lower class would live in lower areas.
When the British arrived, the real estate growth was higher in places where British offices were located, such as Delhi and Kolkata. The British chose specific cities and locations within them, like Lutyens’ Delhi, which had exponential growth in value. The areas where the British resided had the highest real estate prices, and the value of a real estate property was measured based on the distance from those areas where British made offices.
Even in today’s time, this concept is applicable, although there are no kings. In modern times, real estate grows around government offices, economic centers, railway stations, airports, schools, and hospitals. For example, in big cities, the distance of your property from Special Economic Zones (SEZs) or job-creating hubs determines its price. The closer you are to an SEZ, the higher the property price. A general rule is to look for property within a 30-minute distance from the city center. In the past, this 30-minute distance could be covered by walking, approximately covering a distance of about 2 km, which resulted in the city having a radius of around 2 km. Then, with the introduction of bullock carts and horse-drawn carriages, the 30-minute distance became equal to about 5 km. During the British era, with the advent of cars, the same 30-minute distance expanded to a radius of 10 km from the city center. In today’s time, you can measure the 30-minute distance from SEZs, airports, railway stations, government offices, economic centers, schools, or any upcoming infrastructure development or job creation center. You need to analyze and search for the city’s center or hubs. Using this 30-minute distance as a golden rule can be helpful in property selection. While deciding for buying of property, we need to observe where the elite class prefers to live and understand people’s aspirations for residence. We need to identify which areas are considered posh and predict which areas will become posh in the future.
You really make it seem so easy together with your presentation however I in finding this matter to be really something which I feel I’d never understand.
