Tired of the city? Here's why remote workers are snapping up vacation homes
As lifestyles evolve and disposable incomes rise, a new mindset is shaping India's real estate landscape, especially among the youth, both singles and couples. We are witnessing a strong shift toward long-term wealth creation, where real estate, particularly in the luxury segment, is playing a central role. Zoom From the hills, Netflix by the lake: Welcome to hybrid living 2.0(Image by Shutterstock) Not too long ago, the idea of owning a vacation home or even taking regular 'mental breaks' was considered indulgent, even unnecessary. Today, however, it's become a lifestyle choice. People no longer view vacation homes purely as indulgences — they now see them as strategic assets. Staycations, weekend getaways and hybrid living have reshaped the way people perceive second homes. Spain is the ultimate destination for remote workers in 2025.(Image by Verdin Property) Seeing this demand surge significantly, Ankit Lodha, Founder of LA Empire, shared in an interview with HT Lifestyle, 'Vacation homes are no longer just aspirational purchases. They have evolved into a vital and accessible part of modern living and portfolio diversification. According to recent industry reports, the luxury real estate segment (properties valued at INR 5 crore and above) has seen a remarkable 80% growth in sales compared to 2023. This trend signals where the market is headed — a future where premium real estate will be more lifestyle-driven, flexible and financially rewarding.' The very definition of 'home' is being reimagined Ankit Lodha opined, 'With hybrid and remote working models becoming increasingly adaptable, people are relocating to spaces that offer not just comfort but also a work-life balance — often surrounded by nature. A vacation home is no longer confined to short-term use; it has become a multi-functional space to live, work and unwind.' 'Bleisure' travel gains popularity as remote work redefines work-life balance(Unsplash/Kristin Wilson) What's also changing is the traditional notion of real estate as a static, long-term investment Ankit Lodha revealed, 'Today's luxury homebuyers are leveraging their properties in smarter ways — living in them for part of the year and renting them out for the rest. This model helps offset overhead costs, manage EMIs or maintenance, and in many cases, even generate surplus income.' She concluded, 'Mid-term rentals are booming in the luxury stay segment, further proving that flexibility and financial intelligence are at the core of this new wave of ownership. The luxury home market in India is no longer just about prestige. It's about practicality, adaptability, and sustainable wealth creation — all without compromising on quality of life.'

Drewry WCI slides 3% as pre-tariff rush fades
The Drewry World Container Index (WCI)—a composite measure of container freight rates—declined for the sixth consecutive week, falling by 3.22 per cent to $2,517 per 40-foot equivalent unit (FEU) on July 24, down from $2,602 per FEU the previous week. This ongoing downturn follows an earlier period of volatility triggered by higher US tariffs announced in April this year. The market's reaction to the tariffs was delayed by about a month, with rates beginning to climb in May and surging through the first week of June. However, this trend has since reversed, with rates falling consistently since mid-June, indicating that the tariffs' initial market impact was not sustained. Drewry World Container Index fell 3.22 per cent to $2,517/FEU on July 24, marking its sixth straight weekly decline. Transpacific rates dropped sharply, with Shanghaiâ€'New York down 7 per cent. As pre-tariff shipping demand fades, rates are expected to continue falling. Drewry warns of further weakness in H2 2025, amid uncertainty over President Trump's tariffs and potential US penalties on Chinese vessels. Transpacific spot rates declined this week, with Shanghai–Los Angeles rates down 5 per cent ($2,675/FEU) and Shanghai–New York down 7 per cent ($4,210/FEU). With the temporary suspension of higher US tariffs on Chinese products set to end in mid-August, shipping lines are cutting services across the Pacific by cancelling more sailings. As the rush to ship cargo before the tariff increase is now over, Drewry expects spot rates on this trade lane to continue falling next week. Rates from Shanghai to Rotterdam dipped 1 per cent to $3,286 per 40-foot container, while Shanghai to Genoa fell 2 per cent to $3,376. Rotterdam to Shanghai remained steady at $495, and New York to Rotterdam was also stable at $875. However, rates from Rotterdam to New York increased by 2 per cent to $2,033 per 40-foot container. Drewry's Container Forecaster expects the supply-demand balance to weaken again in the second half of 2025, which will cause spot rates to decline. The volatility and timing of these rate changes will depend on President Trump's future tariff decisions and capacity shifts related to the possible introduction of US penalties on Chinese ships, which remain uncertain.

Germany's Puma revises 2025 outlook amid sales dip & tariff impact
German sports apparel and footwear company Puma has reported preliminary results in the second quarter (Q2) of 2025, witnessing a currency-adjusted (ca) decline of 2 per cent in its sales to reach €1,942 million. Currency headwinds significantly impacted reported figures, reducing sales by approximately €135 million, or 8.3 per cent. The gross profit margin declined 70 basis points (bps) to 46.1 per cent due to increased promotional activity and adverse currency effects. The adjusted EBIT of the company fell to €13.2 million, further impacted by lower margins. The company reported one-time costs of €84.6 million (~$99 million). The quarter closed with a net loss of €247 million (~$291.46 million). North America was down by 9.1 per cent YoY, Europe saw a decline of 3.9 per cent YoY, and Greater China went down by 3.9 per cent, while Latin America was up 16.1 per cent and Eastern Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EEMEA) increased by 0.5 per cent, Puma said in a press release. Puma has reported a 2 per cent sales decline in Q2 2025 to €1.94 billion (~$2.27 billion), with net loss at €247 million (~$291.46 million) due to lower margins and €84.6 million (~$99 million) in one-time costs. H1 sales dropped 1 per cent to €4.02 billion (~$4.70 billion). Weakened wholesale, US tariffs, and inventory build-up led to a revised forecast: full-year sales are now expected to decline. Segment-wise, wholesale business saw a declining performance of 6.3 per cent, offsetting a 9.2 per cent increase in direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales, with e-commerce seeing double-digit growth. Category-wise, footwear grew 5.1 per cent, but this was offset by declines in apparel, which fell by 10.7 per cent, and accessories, which declined by 6.4 per cent. For the first half (H1) of 2025, preliminary sales dropped 1 per cent to €4.02 billion (~$4.7 billion) a drop of 4.8 per cent on reported basis, with adjusted EBIT at €62.5 million and one-time costs totalling €102.6 million. The net loss stood at €246.6 million. Inventories surged 18.3 per cent currency-adjusted to €2,151 million, driven by higher levels in key markets. Puma has revised its full-year guidance. Currency-adjusted sales have been forecast to decline by a low double-digit percentage (previously: a low- to mid-single-digit increase). EBIT for full-year 2025 has been expected to result in a loss (previously: €445 million to €525 million), reflecting softer topline performance, intensified currency headwinds, the impact of US tariffs, and additional one-off measures aimed at cost base alignment in H2 2025. An earnings outlook has been provided for reported EBIT only. Following the second-quarter results and the subdued growth outlook for the remainder of 2025, capital expenditure plans have been revised to around €250 million (previously: approximately €300 million).
