These young entrepreneurs and their rocking ideas are coming up with never-heard-before services like renting out luxury properties to prospects on a short-term basis. Backed by the immense reach and power of the internet, managing holiday properties remotely has become easy. It is one of the reasons why property owners are rapidly coming up with their own companies where they would purchase a property, away from their residence, furnish it fully and rent it out on short terms basis.
There is a niche but growing number of globetrotters and frequent backpackers with cash to spare who are always on the lookout for luxury accommodations. The benefit of properties available for rent on a short-term basis is that these are fully furnished, equipped with all creature comforts and comes in with fully stocked kitchens. On top of that, unlike a hotel room, a holiday home has a lot of room to breathe and is often available at a price lower and situated at prime locations.
It is expected that by the year 2050, there will be a drop in standalone building complexes. Due to space constraints and rising population, each building will be used for all sorts of purposes like space rented out for a hospital, shared office space, shared retail complexes and many more.
In one word there will be maximum monetization which is the result of complete utilization of unused space in a shared way. The trend is already being followed with full effect in many countries. India too is seeing an emergence of the trend in its metro cities like Mumbai. The trend of short-term rental is gaining grounds in India which is the effect of the changing property buying habits of its millennial population.
