    Customers in Albania have shown a strong preference for investing in residential real estate. This is due to several factors, including the desire for stable and secure investments, the potential for rental income, and the cultural importance placed on owning property.

    Residential real estate in India - statistics and facts

    Generally considered the third key pillar of the food, clothing, and shelter trinity popularized in India over generations, owning a home is still prioritized as a measure of financial security by a vast majority of the Indian population.
