INTRODUCTION The residential real estate market in India has witnessed significant growth and transformation over the years. With the rising population, urbanization, and increasing disposable incomes, the demand for residential properties has been on the rise. This article explores the role and perception of customers on buying behavior towards the residential real estate market in Mohali, a prominent city in the Tri-city region of Chandigarh. The Indian residential real estate market has experienced several trends in recent years. One notable trend is the shift towards affordable housing, propelled by government programs like the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) and the enforcement of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA). These initiatives have aimed to provide housing for all, promote transparency, and enhance consumer protection. The residential real estate market has also been influenced by economic factors. India's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth has a direct impact on the real estate sector, as it affects consumer sentiment, job creation, and overall economic stability. Despite facing certain challenges in recent times, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent economic slowdown, the Indian real estate market has shown resilience and adaptability. The residential real estate sector in India holds a significant market size. Industry reports indicate that in 2020, the market reached a valuation of USD 188.8 billion, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3% from 2021 to 2026. This noteworthy expansion can be attributed to various factors, including urbanization, a growing middle-class population, and enhanced investments in infrastructure development. One significant aspect of the Indian real estate industry is the potential for higher returns on investment. Real estate has long been considered a lucrative investment option, providing investors with opportunities for capital appreciation and rental income. The growing demand for residential properties, particularly in prime locations, coupled with limited supply, has contributed to the appreciation of property values in various parts of the country.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM The problem at hand revolves around comprehending the factors that influence individual investors' decision- making processes and perceptions when it comes to investing in real estate. By identifying and examining these factors, researchers can contribute to the development of effective strategies that address the concerns and uncertainties surrounding real estate investment in India. The unpredictability and immeasurability of investment avenues in real estate can lead to hesitation and apprehension among potential investors. Without a clear understanding of the key factors that influence individual behavior, it becomes challenging for stakeholders in the real estate industry, including developers and policymakers, to design targeted approaches to attract investments and foster growth. Therefore, this study aims to delve into the individual behavior and perception of investment avenues in the Indian real estate industry. By gathering primary information through surveys and utilizing statistical analysis, the research intends to shed light on the factors that impact investment decisions. Ultimately, the study seeks to provide clarity and insights that can aid in predicting and understanding individual investment behavior in the Indian real estate market. IV. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY 1. To gather and analyze demographic information about the respondents. 2. To classify the respondents into different groups or categories based on their behavior concerning diverse variables associated with the acquisition of real estate. V. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY The present investigation adopted an empirical methodology, employing data from a cross-sectional survey. The research design employed for this study was both quantitative and descriptive in nature. The study focused on individuals in Mohali who exhibited an inclination to invest in the real estate sector. A sample of 253 participants was chosen, and primary data was collected using a non-probability convenience sampling technique. Given the absence of a comprehensive population, convenience sampling was deemed the most practical method for data collection. The survey employed in this study followed an empirical and descriptive nature, starting with a section dedicated to capturing the demographic information of the respondents. It concluded with a series of questions specific to variables related to individuals' behavior towards investing in the real estate sector. The behavior of the participants was evaluated utilizing a five-point Likert scale, encompassing responses ranging from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 5 (Strongly Agree). This Likert scale allowed for the measurement of respondents' perceptions and attitudes towards real estate investment, providing valuable insights into their preferences and inclinations. VI. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The study's sample size was restricted to 253 participants due to limitations in terms of time and cost. To collect primary data, a non-probability convenience sampling technique was utilized. Once the data collection phase was completed, the collected data underwent processing using the SPSS Statistics 23 software package. Various analytical techniques were employed, including frequency analysis, descriptive analysis, testing for normality, calculation of Cronbach's Alpha, discriminant analysis and cluster analysis. Frequency analysis was conducted to examine the distribution and occurrence of different variables within the dataset. Descriptive analysis was employed to summarize and present key characteristics and patterns observed in the data. The normality of the data was assessed using appropriate statistical tests to determine if the data followed a normal distribution. This step helps in validating the assumptions of certain statistical analyses. To evaluate the reliability of the survey instrument employed in the study, Cronbach's Alpha, a measure of internal consistency, was computed. This statistical analysis served as an indicator of the instrument's reliability. This analysis helps

Financial Consideration: Customers in Mohali prioritize financial factors when making buying decisions in the residential real estate market, as evidenced by the mean score of 2.947. The relatively low standard deviation of 0.487 indicates consistent responses. The negative skewness (-0.745) suggests a slight leftward skew, indicating that a subset of customers places greater emphasis on financial considerations. The positive kurtosis (0.878) implies a moderate peakedness in the distribution, indicating that a significant number of customers value financial factors.

Lifestyle Consideration: Customers in Mohali also consider lifestyle-related factors when making buying decisions in the residential real estate market, as reflected by the mean score of 3.362. The relatively low standard deviation of 0.492 suggests consistent responses. The skewness of -0.134 indicates a slight leftward skew, indicating that some customers attach relatively higher importance to lifestyle considerations. The positive kurtosis (1.379) suggests a moderate peakedness in the distribution, implying that a significant proportion of customers highly values lifestyle factors. The normality tests show a significant deviation from normality. The reliability of the scale, measured by Cronbach's Alpha, is 0.677, indicating a moderate level of internal consistency reliability. 3. Development Consideration: Customers in Mohali exhibit a mean score of 3.409 for development consideration when making buying decisions in the residential real estate market.

Financial Consideration: The variable has a discriminant coefficient of 0.628 and a significant positive loading of 0.575. This suggests that financial considerations play a relatively strong role in discriminating between passive investors and active investors. The mean scores for passive investors (2.500) and active investors (3.113) indicate that active investors prioritize financial factors more than passive investors. 2. Lifestyle Consideration: With a discriminant coefficient of 0.614 and a positive loading of 0.645, lifestyle considerations also contribute significantly to the discriminant function. Both passive investors and active investors place importance on lifestyle factors, as indicated by their respective mean scores of 2.875 and 3.543. 3. Development Consideration: Although the discriminant coefficient is lower for development consideration (0.377), it still contributes to the discriminant function. Both groups, passive investors and active investors, consider development-related factors in their buying behavior, as reflected in their mean scores of 2.973 and 3.570. 4. The Wilks' Lambda values indicate the effectiveness of the discriminant function, with lower values indicating a better discriminatory power. In this case, the Wilks' Lambda values are relatively low (ranging from 0.634 to 0.685), suggesting that the combination of these variables can effectively distinguish between passive investors and active investors. 5. The F-Value and associated significance levels (Sig.) indicate the overall significance of the discriminant function. In all cases, the F-Values are highly significant (p < 0.001), indicating that the discriminant function is able to significantly differentiate between the two groups. 6. The t-values and P-Values represent the significance of individual variables in the discriminant function. The t-values (-8.184 to -9.180) are large in magnitude, indicating the significance of each variable in distinguishing between passive investors and active investors. Additionally, the accuracy of respondents' classification shows that specifically, 97.1% of the cases classified as Passive Investors were correctly predicted, and 97.8% of the cases classified as Active Investors were correctly predicted. This high accuracy suggests that the discriminant function, using the variables of financial consideration, lifestyle consideration, and development consideration, is effective in distinguishing between Passive Investors and Active Investors.The distribution of cases shows a dominant presence of Passive Investors, comprising 97.1% of the total cases, while Active Investors represent 2.9% of the total cases. This indicates a higher prevalence of Passive Investors in the residential real estate market in Mohali, as reflected in the data. VII. CONCLUSION This study suggests that investment purposes, family accommodations, and residential acquisition are perceived as the primary motivations for buying property in Mohali. Factors like enhancing lifestyle and workplace convenience also hold some importance, while matrimonial intentions are relatively less significant in driving buying behavior in the residential real estate market of Mohali. Additionally, the findings indicate
