Buying your dream home during Festivals

When homebuyers are uncertain when to make their purchase, they often wait for the festive season, which occurs between mid-October and mid-November in India. According to reports, about one third of India's real estate transactions take place during this period, which is considered an auspicious period to invest in income-generating assets. Besides being a good time to buy a home, developers will provide buyers with lucrative offers and schemes in order to boost sales in the third quarter.

Although the festive offers might sound enticing, you need to utilize patience and make sure you are equipped with accurate information in order to avoid making split-second decisions. The purpose of this article is to provide a short description of the ways you can get the best deals during festive seasons and what you should know before making a decision.

How to make the most of the festive season when buying a home?

What are my options during this festive season for purchasing a home? Are there any benefits to taking advantage of discounts and opportunities during the festive season? Are there any price reductions I can take advantage of? Whenever you are contemplating investing in real estate during the festive season, you should weigh the factors that will make it a good time.

Inventories of all sizes

In this season, developers look for ways to sell more of their properties. Therefore, you are likely to find plenty of options in every budget category at this time. There is particular convenience for buyers looking at affordable housing.

Offers and discounts during the Festival season

It is during the festival seasons that developers sell more of their properties by offering exciting offers and deals for potential homebuyers. Some of the attractive discount deals that developers provide include convenient payment plans allowing no EMI till possession, relaxation on registration and stamp duty charges, free modular kitchen or car-parking, exemption of Goods and Services Tax (GST), and gold coins, among others.

Lucrative home loan schemes

Customers can take advantage of cheaper loans during the festive season. For example, banks offer waived processing fees, pre-approved digital loans, and loans without escalating interest rates across multiple categories. In the festive season when buyer sentiment improves, banks do everything in their power to maximize home loan sales. Savings in the long run can be achieved by securing a home loan at a lower interest rate than usually.

Salary, Perks and Bonus

Diwali bonuses have long been a cause for celebration for salaried homebuyers. As your disposable income increases, you will be able to make a more expensive purchase than you would normally be able to afford.

Part payment Schemes

Under a subvention scheme, a buyer pays a discounted upfront payment, with the rest to be paid after possession. These schemes are usually offered on under-construction projects throughout the year, but their number multiplies during the festive season. The initial payment is kept low to attract buyer interest. Usually, Construction-linked Payment Plans pan out to be the most profitable for both the stakeholders.

Your due diligence is a must

Even though you might be enticed to buy a home during the festive season, always conduct your due diligence on the property and on the developer when finalizing your dream property. Buy only when you find a property that suits your needs.
