Buying a house is once in a lifetime decision that one takes, as the spiralling prices of the property and the high rate of interest rate regime in the market. It becomes very important to find and select the right home loan product in the market becomes much more significant to avoid any uncertainty in near future.

Do Your Research:

It is very important for the customer to do their homework and their research work, as the agents generally are bias. There are certain banks that provide Home Loan at quite significant low amount but they pay less commission to agents thus they don’t encourage customers to take loan from such banks.

Look into parking your additional Funds:

With few banks you get the opportunity to allow borrowers to invest their additional funds in the loan accounts. This makes a significant difference with reduce the interest rates from the principal amount for the time that amount was invested. Such features have been added recently making this more efficient.

Know about Floating and Fixed Rate of Interest

Banks normally offer two types of interest rates, Fixed Interest Rates and Floating Interest Rates. Floating Interest Rates are offered majorly by government banks as these vary according to the market, while fixed rate of interest are mainly provided through private banks and are fixed for the tenure. Usually floating rate of interest is cheaper than fixed rates.

Set your CIBIL Score right:

CIBIL Score plays a major role in helping you get attractive offers, it has been observed that people with CIBIL more than 750 points in 80% chances get their loan. So before applying for loan, it is advisable to know your CIBIL score.

Pay max Down Payment:

It is always advisable to the borrower to pay as much as they can as it reduces the principle amount and thus you pay less interest on the principle. So before taking out the loan against the property it is advised to pay maximum down payment.

Smart Designs and Affordable Prices The New Exciting Dimension Added to Real Estate



Housing Sales are estimated to rise this year to 1.92 lakh units in India’s top seven cities on expectations of a cut in Interest Rate and Stable Prices, according to property gurus in India. There was a fall in Housing Sales dropped to 1.75 Lakh units in the primary markets of seven major cities in 2014 as compared to 2 Lakh units in its previous financial year.

There had been a great mismatch in Demand and Supply chain and the prices of property have reached to its saturation point in few localities. This has been a major challenge for Developers in these areas as they have to keep the prices tight to meet their competitors as well. 

Seven major cities are Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Pune would benefit the most as 2015 will see home buyers capitalising from the current scenario of reducing borrowing rates, increased developers focus on affordable homes, largely stable prices and better job or income prospects.   

Coming time can be seen as good time for real estate sector as the borrowing rates are sure to go down from the current levels and economic activity is gradually picking up. With a more consistency in property prices and better deals being offered by developers in order to clear their inventories, the home buyers that have been waiting for suitable time is here to encourage them to go ahead and buy.

Developers have now shifted their focus on affordable homes, this would act as bridge between the existing wide gap between the demand and supply mismatch of affordable homes. Developers have now become more earnest about the right size at right price that offers a customer better opportunity.

Smart, Better Designed and More Efficient Homes will define the residential real estate market in 2015 and with better product evaluation would help bring down some over-priced cities will help bring about faster sales for stagnated supply of larger configurations. There is a prediction of townships would be more popular while Luxury or High End products would moderate to align to slow demand.

Buying Property Simplified Like Never Before!



With the new philosophy and initiative taken by the current Indian Government for development and growth is a real booster for real estate sector as well. P M Modi has already announced the launch of 100 smart cities this shows their seriousness towards their cause for development and growth.

The vision of developing 100 smart cities as satellite towns of larger cities by modernizing the existing mid-sized cities, with first  cities would be filtered by 2015, 40 more cities by 2016 and the last 40 by 2017. This is foreseen as a great strategic move in the rapid growth and development of Real Estate Sector.

From the past 2 to 3 years real estate market has been on a downfall with the price hike in the property sector, the demand and supply balance has been affected with number of projects on a rise and actual demand of such property is quite less.

Considering such factors the builders are now moving to a segment of affordable housing, to make sure that they can provide services to people looking for affordable houses or property. Now builders wish to work for the satisfaction of end users.

The most convenient method of filtering the property that suits your budget and requirement is through the internet, where one can search, filter and even compare different property to have a more narrow approach. Internet is a great medium of finding all that you need to know about buying a property from location, builder history, various projects, amenities and even bank tie –ups and approvals all available just a click away from you.

The entire world is on internet and everyone is going digital then why should real estate be behind, real estate sector has also adapted digital medium of marketing to bring products and services directly to the end users as well as to suite their comfort.

Pink Colour is less demanding. Choosing a red bedroom would not be restful, although some red can be used to enhance sensuality.

Orange Colour will encourage happy, joyful, social gatherings. While an orange dining room or family room can stimulate the appetite, it is a great choice for such gathering places. Orange enhances parties. 

Yellow rooms inspire intellectual clarity, organization, clear headed articulate thinking, and happy energy. Yellow is considered a colour for the logical left side of the brain. Yellow is also very bright and somewhat energizing, so one needs to choose its placement with care.
