“Fractional ownership is gaining momentum with new players joining the band. The market is becoming competitive and exciting for everyone. Investors are taking up opportunities in a day for Grade A assets. With RBI (Reserve Bank of India) raising rates and other forms of investments losing sheen, fractional ownership will result in further impetus to investing in real estate assets”, hBits founder Shiv Parekh, said.
