Manish Soni (name changed), a real estate broker located in Borivali, Mumbai, recently dealt with an unusual rental situation. Two months ago, he helped rent three bedroom apartments and accepted a token amount from a young tenant on behalf of the owner of the property.
However, the next day, the tenant was unexpectedly hospitalized. After discharging a week later, he contacted Soni to request a return to the token amount citing an unexpected cause – Wasteu compliance.
“The tenant told me,” The moment I paid the token for this non-Wastu obedient apartment, I was hospitalized. If I proceed with the agreement and start living there, my health could deteriorate. ” Seeing their concern, we respected his request and assured the owner to return the token amount, ”Sony said.
He said that when earlier Vastu compliance was mainly an idea for buyers, it is now becoming an important factor for those who want to rent a property, especially among young tenants.

From 1 crore 100 Crore: Homebuilds in Spectrum Believe in Wasteu
Whether buying 1 crore flat or a huge 100 crore luxury apartments, homebuilders in all budget sections are increasing the increasing importance on Vastu Shastra. Faith in Vastu is no longer limited to a specific value range, age group or religious background – it has become a widely accepted idea in real estate decisions.
Real Estate Consultants say that from admission direction preferences to detailed layout requirements, Vastu compliance is now the top priority for buyers at every level of the market.
“Everyone seeks Vistu-Anupal Husbandry Homes,” said Ravi Kewalmani, director of Real Estate Consultancy Straight Talk Ri LLP. “Whether it is a mid-range buyer or a high-net-world person, general demand is for homes with north or east.
Kewalmani said that buyers often have detailed vastu checklists who go beyond the direction of entry or exit. He said, “This preference extends into groups ranging from young professionals to senior citizens. Today, Vastu is more about positive energy and welfare about religion or trust.
Developers have been responding to this trend by integrating Vasteu principles in the design process from the beginning.
Hiren Chheda, managing director of the Ekatawa Group, said, “There is a strong demand for houses especially between the age of 30 to 40 years for the houses with the age of 30 to 40. We guess that about 65% of buyers prefer Vastu-friendly homes.”
Chheda said that their approach begins with selecting plots that align with the Wasteu criteria. “Architects are informed to include Vastu guidelines in the layout. While it is not always possible to make every unit perfectly to conform to Vastu-especially in metro cities prefer especially-we prioritize major elements and try to avoid south-facing flats wherever possible.
He also clarified that the cost of the project is not greatly affected by incorporating Vastu compliance during the design phase. “However, if the change is done to align with Wasteu through construction, the cost may increase by 5 to 10%,” shadow said.
Takeaway? In today's real estate market, Vastu Shastra is not just a traditional belief-it is an important factor that affects the decisions to buy decisions, from minor apartments to multi-million luxury dwellers.
