dimensions significantly determine the purchase of real estate: Financial consideration factor, Lifestyle
consideration factor, and development factor. These dimensions reflect the key factors that influence
customers' decision-making process when it comes to investing in residential properties. The study highlights
that the real estate industry not only offers potential buyers’ higher earnings but also contributes to better
investment decisions and economic growth in the country. The results of this research provide valuable
insights into the factors influencing customers' perception and buying behavior, which can be utilized by real
estate developers, marketers, and policymakers to enhance the residential real estate market in Mohali and
similar regions.

I. 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.

attract investments, such as the introduction of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). These initiatives have
enabled investors to diversify their portfolios and access the real estate market with greater ease.
In the context of the perception of customers on buying behavior towards the residential real estate market in
Mohali, the decision to purchase property is influenced by various factors. Customers have distinct motivations
that drive their property acquisition choices. Understanding these reasons is essential in comprehending the

III. 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

determine the extent to which the survey questions measure the same underlying construct. Cluster analysis, a
statistical technique, was applied to identify distinct groups or clusters within the dataset based on similarities
or dissimilarities in their responses. This analysis aids in understanding different segments or profiles among
the respondents. Discriminant analysis was conducted to examine the discriminative power of the variables
and identify the key factors that differentiate between different groups of respondents. This analysis helps
identify the variables that significantly contribute to classifying respondents into different categories based on
their behavior or characteristics. By employing these analytical techniques, the study aimed to gain insights
into the collected data, identify patterns, assess reliability, and explore the factors influencing respondents'
behavior towards real estate investment. The following sections will delve into the detailed findings and
interpretation of the results.

mean values indicate the average level of importance attributed by customers to each purchasing motive, while
the standard deviations (SD) provide a measure of the variability or dispersion of responses around the mean.
Property Purchase motive (Investment): With a mean of 4.15 and the highest ranking (I), this suggests that
customers in Mohali consider property purchase as a significant investment opportunity. It indicates that many
customers perceive real estate as a profitable asset class and are motivated to buy property primarily for
investment purposes.

customers in Mohali also consider buying property for their own residential purposes. This indicates a strong
demand for residential real estate in the area.
Matrimonial Intentions: With a mean value of 2.40 and the lowest ranking (VI), this reason is perceived as
relatively less important by customers. It suggests that customers in Mohali do not prioritize buying property
specifically for matrimonial intentions, such as purchasing a property for a wedding or marriage-related
purposes.
Enhancing Lifestyle: Customers in Mohali attribute a mean value of 3.05 to this reason, ranking it fifth (V). It
indicates that some customers view property purchase as a means to enhance their lifestyle, potentially by

The interpretation of table 3 would be as under:
1. 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. The normality tests reveal a significant deviation
from normality. The scale's reliability, assessed through Cronbach's Alpha, is determined to be 0.618,
indicating a moderate level of internal consistency reliability.
2. 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. The relatively low
standard deviation of 0.435 suggests consistent responses. The negative skewness (-0.662) indicates a
slight leftward skew, suggesting that some customers prioritize development-related factors more
strongly. The positive kurtosis (2.633) reveals notable peakedness in the distribution, indicating that a
significant portion of customers places significant importance on development considerations. The
normality tests demonstrate a significant deviation from normality. However, the exact significance values
are not mentioned. The reliability of the scale, measured by Cronbach's Alpha, is not provided in the table.

The interpretation of table 4 would be as under:
1. 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

that financial factors, lifestyle considerations, and development-related aspects play significant roles in the
buying behavior of customers in the residential real estate market in Mohali. These factors influence their
decision-making process, highlighting the importance of financial well-being, lifestyle preferences, and
