Vizianagaram is a lucrative real estate investment option, says CREDAI

CREDAI Vizianagaram's property show sees good response from prospective buyers from Visakhapatnam. Apartments in Vizianagaram are available at ₹15 lakh discount compared to other places. Home loans at 8.4% interest, rental income & other advantages make buyers from other districts purchase flats & villas. Bank reps express happiness over response.

The Andhra Pradesh government functioning with Visakhapatnam as its transit capital and the upcoming international airport at Bhogapuram near here would ensure decent returns for real estate investments in Vizianagaram, say the representatives of the Confederation of Real Estate Developers Association of India (CREDAI).

A three-day mega property show organised by CREDAI in Vizianagaram, was launched on Sunday and saw many prospective buyers from Visakhapatnam, as expected by the association. The show would conclude on Tuesday (November 28)

CREDAI-Vizianagaram chapter’s vice-president and Vijayasree Infra promoter R.A.N. Murthy said, “Property rates are always reasonable in Vizianagaram compared to Visakhapatnam. A 1,000-square-foot apartment is available between ₹35 lakh to ₹45 lakh, depending on the location and facilities. It is almost a ₹15 lakh discount compared to the property rates at Tagarapuvalasa, Madhurawada and other places. It is one of the reasons for the good response to the ongoing property show,” said Mr. Murthy.

“Many people with double income sources are also keen to buy a second apartment as part of their long-term investment plans. Mostly officials and employees are interested in owning new properties with the availability of home loans at affordable interests, which are currently at 8.4 percent per annum,” he said.

Mr. Murthy added that the prospective buyers were keen to buy flats rather than plots as the apartments would ensure rental income continuously for them. CREDAI executive body member Siva Narayana Rao said that the availability of the best hospitals, schools, multi-plex theatres and other advantages made the buyers from other districts purchase apartments and villas in Vizianagaram, which is hardly 50 km from Visakhapatnam. State Bank of India and ICICI representatives expressed happiness over the good response from prospective buyers at the CREDAI property show.
