Introduction

With prices soaring high on everything from groceries to gas, it’s hard not to notice the pinch in your pocket. As prices go up, the value of our hard-earned money goes down. This is what inflation does—it silently chips away at the purchasing power of our cash while we’re focused on managing higher expenses. Inflation essentially steals the value from our wallets.

Investing helps beat inflation by growing your money. “When you invest, you buy a day that you don’t have to work.” This quote encapsulates the essence of investing, signifying that through strategic investments, you secure future financial freedom, allowing your money to work for you and potentially generate income without requiring active participation in work. By investing, we give our money a job to earn more money and this is what makes it surpass inflation and beat it strongly.

As inflation quietly erodes the value of your money over time, investments in real estate have shown remarkable resilience, acting as a robust counterforce. Real estate stands out as a secure and reliable avenue for wealth growth. Historically, it has consistently outperformed inflation. While your savings might falter against increasing prices, real estate keeps pace and frequently exceeds the effects of inflation. It’s not solely about the property’s appreciation; it’s also the steady income it generates, aligning itself with and often surpassing the impact of inflation.

Real Estate in India

In India, real estate has generally surpassed inflation due to rapid urbanization, limited land supply in densely populated areas, rising housing demand from a growing population, and periods of robust economic growth. Additionally, it’s a popular investment choice offering high returns and is often considered a hedge against inflation.

Government policies, infrastructure development, and the aspiration for better housing have further fueled real estate appreciation. However, market cycles, regional variations, regulatory changes, and economic fluctuations can influence real estate prices despite their historical tendency to outpace inflation.

Real Estate, an Ever-growing Asset

Real estate is an ever-growing asset, consistently appreciating despite market changes. It shields against inflation, making it a stable investment for individuals and institutions seeking long-term wealth. It acts as a reliable hedge, ensuring continual growth and stability. Strategic planning and diversification across segments enhance its perpetual expansion within investment portfolios. Let’s have a look at the comparison between real estate types. 

When exploring investment options, farmland stands out for its substantial potential to appreciate and compound in value over time. It tends to experience significant appreciation, especially in regions undergoing urban expansion, infrastructure growth, industrial development, or heightened agricultural demand. 

Farmlands on the outskirts of rapidly expanding cities like Bangalore offer more affordable pricing compared to the steep initial costs associated with purchasing a flat. Considering construction depreciation, flats pose additional cost factors to be mindful of.

Investors who already possess a portfolio of flats and apartments within city limits, generating consistent rental income, should prioritize diversification over acquiring additional rental properties. As the saying goes, it’s wise not to keep all your eggs in one basket.

For such investors, considering farmlands, especially managed ones, offers an appealing option for diversification. Managed farmlands commonly utilize sustainable farming methods, improving soil and water quality over time. The value of farmland relies on fertile soil, its capacity to grow crops with minimal maintenance, ample groundwater, and mature trees. For instance, a flourishing mango or coconut orchard with quality soil and abundant water sources commands higher prices. 

Investing in managed farmlands with sustainable practices boosts soil quality and biodiversity. Perfect for urban dwellers lacking time, skill, and expertise, these farmlands appreciate consistently, becoming valuable assets.
