India too witnessed a subjugation of macro indicators, that were once believed to be the fastest, and no sector was spared from the deluge of pandemic aftermath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The real estate sector &#8211; the most vibrant among all was not spared. Yet, there is one segment within the real estate sector, &#8216;holiday homes&#8217; that stands defiant of this ruthless onslaught. It is buzzing with activity amid hopes of heightened demand as people accept the &#8216;new normal&#8217; post-COVID crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Goa, being one of the most favored tourist destinations, is likely to be the sweet spot for the holiday homes or second homes for high net-worth individuals seeking better rental yields and people looking for luxury living including tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the &#8216;work from home&#8217; gaining traction, people are seriously considering a shift of residence, away from the crowded cities to luxurious holiday homes, according to industry experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;What was once an aspirational &#8216;want&#8217; is now emerging as a &#8216;need&#8217; for a safe and secured home and sensible real estate investment. The earnest desire of buyers to log out of the choking, polluted and hectic city life and hit refresh in a serene space in the lap of nature is what has made holiday homes or dual homes a hot trend today and will continue to remain strong,&#8221; said Lindsay Bernard Rodrigues, co-founder and director, Bennet &amp; Bernard Group, a prominent custom luxury homes developer in Goa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering situations like home quarantine, social distancing, health, hygiene, safety and comfort in one space, people have realised the importance of larger and self-sustained communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Hence, the desire to have bigger spaces for the same investments is likely to shift focus from buying realty in cities to second homes in holiday destinations,&#8221; Rodrigues said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Owning a luxury holiday home in places like Goa is an increasing trend for buyers who look at it as a luxury living and also as a good investment option with better rental yields.
