The Hakrinbank Real Estate Day, held on Saturday, transformed into a bustling marketplace, drawing an unexpectedly large crowd to the bank’s branch on Jagernath Lachmonstraat. The event, entirely focused on the buying and selling of homes and land, showcased the growing demand for property, particularly among younger individuals. Ravi Changoer, the brand manager, expressed his surprise, stating, ‘Honestly, it exceeded our expectations. It clearly demonstrates the significant need, especially among young people. Everyone wants to own a house or a plot of land.’ Fourteen exhibitors, primarily real estate companies, presented their offerings of plots, buildings, and homes. Contractors also showcased potential construction models, while bank representatives were present at each booth to provide information on financing options. Changoer noted that the overwhelming turnout was a pleasant surprise, as the event was organized with a relatively small venue in mind. ‘We invited fourteen companies and chose a modest location. It was successful, but we didn’t anticipate such a large crowd,’ he said. ‘The next edition will definitely need a larger venue. It’s evident that there’s a need for a one-stop location where people can gather all the information about homes and plots.’
