Business News: In 1995, the price of a 4 BHK apartment in South Delhi was around 60 lakh rupees, which was equal to 6 kg of gold at that time. After three decades, the same flat is being sold in crores, while gold prices have also risen many times. Know which investment proved to be more beneficial in today's era-regular estate or gold? South Delhi, which is included in the posh areas of Delhi, has always been counted among the most expensive real estate markets in the country. In 1995, a large 4 BHK apartment was available here for about 60 lakh rupees. At that time the price of gold was about 500 rupees per gram, that is, you could also buy about 6 kg of gold in that amount.Now talk about 2025, then the same 4 BHK apartment is being sold for about Rs 5.8 crore. During this time, the price of gold has increased to around Rs 70,000 per 10 grams. That is, the price of 6 kg i.e. 6000 grams of gold has been about 4.2 crore rupees.
It is clear from this comparison that while the property has given about 9.5 times the return, gold has also given more than 7 times the return. Although the property of the property is filled with fluctuations and also takes time to sell, while gold is more liquid property that can be converted to cash immediately.
Opinions of experts
Both real estate and financial experts believe that while investing, the person should decide not only by prices, but also from other aspects.Real estate expert Amit Kumar says, "South Delhi is short of land and new projects are limited, so prices continue to rise. But selling property takes time and documentary procedures." At the same time, financial planner Deepti Sharma believes, "Gold has been a reliable investment. It is a small, portable and quick -selling property class. The demand for gold also increases during the crisis."
What is right for investment?
Many experts believe that an ideal investment portfolio should have diversity. That is, the investor should invest not only real estate, but also with balance in other options like gold and stock market.Real estate can be beneficial if the investment target is long -term, and tax and rental income after selling property. On the other hand, if you need liquidity ie immediate cash, then gold becomes a better option.In 30 years, both property and gold of South Delhi have given good returns. Although the real estate has taken a slightly higher lead, the liquidity and stability of the gold bring it to the par. Both have their own place. It is prudent that investors should invest by making balance between these two.
