Investing in property is one of the best investments because it is tangible and has increasing value that is favored by Inflation
Many Grenadians hesitate to invest in property because it is costly. Add to that fact that Inflation creates more pressure to invest sooner as property prices soar. But what if we told you that it is one of the best investments you can make right now, whether it’s short or long term?
Investing in property is one of the best investments because it is tangible and has increasing value that is favored by Inflation. If you’re on the fence about investing in property, then this article is for you.
Here are the reasons why property is the best investment you can make right now:
Unlike cars which depreciate over time, real estate value increases, almost always, annually. Part of the reason is the increasing population in urban areas—which spikes the demand for apartments and private houses near Central Business Districts. According to Lamudi, real estate value is guaranteed to increase in the next two years as demand remains high. This makes investing in property not only a lucrative investment, but also a safe one.
Investing in property gives you a tangible asset that you can do a lot with. You can rent it out, use it as a storage area, or live in while you wait for the market price to go higher. You basically have control over your destiny and if the market dampens, you can always keep it, or sell it at a later date.
Unlike stocks which value can get to zero, or a car which decreases its value over time, a property has a high tangible asset value. This means that it has a physical form and it has a natural value. Tangible assets are beneficial against economic uncertainty since there will be always a natural value in your property. Just don’t forget to have an insurance in order to protect your property from unforeseen disasters.
Property and Inflation has a positive relationship towards each other. As economies expand, the demand for property drives rents higher, and so does the value of your property. Compared to the stock market which has a lot of factors that can negatively impact your investment, property and rent values tend to go up during times of high inflation.
Although costly, investing in property is one of the best—if not the best investment you can make right now. Since properties have a high tangible asset value, you have control within your investment. You can rent it out, sell it, or keep it. Due to high demand, your property is guaranteed to increase in value for the next few years—making it a safe investment.
