Property buyers beware, real estate developers to announce new discount schemes!

SundayET Exclusive!

SundayET has learnt that many A and B grade developers across the country are planning to announce new discount schemes in markets faced with slowdown.

1) Interest Free Installments:

This scheme will be different from earlier construction-linked plans. Developers will use it only for new and up-coming projects. How it works is that on a Rs 40 lakh home the developer will ask the consumer to pay Rs 1.5 lakh bi-monthly for 30 months and rest at the time of possession.

2) 15-20% discount on down payment:

In many projects, the developers are already offering a 15-20% discount on down payment both in the residential and commercial sector. According to a developer, the new strategy includes focus on mid-income housing and execution and completion of existing projects!

3) Offer to pay back to the buyer the differential:

Builders may offer to pay back to the buyer the differential, if prices should sink further before the project is sold out. This is a brilliant strategy that will overcome a significant portion of a buyer’s misgivings about investing now when the rates could sink even further later on.

4) More freebies:

Besides the above mentioned measures the developers might also come up with more freebies with the discounts. Because today’s smart buyer knows his needs and he enters the real estate market only after doing thorough market analysis.!

  1. Offer to pay back to the buyer the differential!

    Great! But there is a small problem there - I do not trust the builders!
