NRIs Pump $80 Billion into Real Estate, Rushing to Tier-2 Cities

NRI real estate investments reached $80 billion since 2010, says Credai-Colliers. Demand shifts from big cities to tier-2 and growing spots. Many NRIs pick Mysuru and like places for second homes. World economic shocks and global tensions boost the draw of a safe home base in India. Builders highlight solid value growth too.

Low starting prices, strong growth outlook, and better rental returns pull overseas buyers to tier-2 and tier-3 markets, Rastogi notes.
