What is to be noted however is the location of Sreekaryam, would not get as much appreciation as Kazhakuttam or Technopark.

These luxury homes stand as emblems of success for the aspirational Indian, a status symbol for those who've arrived.

Think of your home where; The boom barriers at the main gate automatically open when it identifies the owners car, The main door opens to the touch of the owners palm, so does the door to the lobby and living area!

But regardless of the price, there are many who are opting for such e-wonders.

Luxury real estate - key developments

According to analysts, the annual sales of semi luxury and luxury houses are expected to grow at a CAGR of over 30%, over the next few years, as there is constant upgradation of consumer's standard of living and purchasing power. Some interesting developments being seen in the luxury home market in India are as follows:

1. Sixth sense electronic fittings and fixtures and 80% oxygen-rich environment to boost the health of residents.
2. The per unit ticket sizes in these enclaves would be anywhere in the range of Rs 5-10 crore on average, with select villas even priced at Rs 15+ crore
3. A shift from the typical golf-based projects toward spa-based , wellness, destination-based and experiential themes
4. 'Water' associated development (beach based, sea view, river front) and hill-based (foothills with lake front, hill stations).The water-associated formats might even have water access as an USP with yacht services or private jetty for the residents.
5. Units modelled on east Asian luxury villa developments like in Bali, Phuket, Koh Kood, etc. The key here is fewer units, in 25 to 50 range.

Luxury spreads to Tier 2 Cities in India

As per the India Today article, at a current value of $2.45 billion, the Indian luxury market is poised to double its value to $5.8 billion in the next five years, says the latest Confederation of Indian Industry-AT Kearney Report on Indian Luxury. The growth, much like India's larger story, will be propelled by smaller, scattered markets, the new pockets of wealth in Tier II cities. "In the next 5-7 years, at least seven new towns will get added to the luxury map of India" is the projection.

The annual World Wealth Report of Merrill Lynch Wealth Management and Capgemini has revealed that the number of millionaires in India has surged to a record high of 1.53 lakh in 2010, making the country's high net worth individual (HNI) population 12th largest across the globe. The survey also revealed that the Indian millionaire is no longer shying away from luxury collectibles. This must have perked up the developers in India, most of them having more than one finger in the luxury pie.

The definition of luxury homes in India has seen a sea change. As aspirations rise, the globe trotter consumers are seeking for exclusivity and customisation in every nook and corner of their home. Luxury homes today are more about making a lifestyle statement. High-end specifications coupled with designer fit-outs and high-tech gadgets of global standards are the driving factors.

Some builders feel that luxury is defined by space and not by number of bedrooms .The general specifications of the units are very good and so luxury homes have to strive to do a better job. A truly luxurious home means a well designed layout having open space, a garden, facilities like jacuzzi, piped gas, a concierge desk, etc. It also means services like rental management and property management so that the customer doesn't have to worry about anything at all.

However one of the major challenges in the luxury real estate market are absence of quality of labour which is a serious concern for most builders. It is for this reason that people cannot get better finish and better quality buildings. Apart from this, the kinds of material that builders need to make these quality homes are not easily available in the country. These are special kinds of building material used specifically for designing these (high-end living spaces) and giving them aesthetic uplift. These have to be imported from Europe or other countries.
