What is the right age to buy a home?
I visited Westend Village on 26th, 27th evenings & on 28th morning. After Sakal Big 3 Home Utsav on 20th to 23rd & one day search at Pirangut on 19th, visiting Westend Village was an eye opening experience for me.
Looking at the families inspecting the flats & buildings and having one on one chat with the builder - Mr. Vinayak Keshav Bapat - who was always present at the venue, I realized that middle age is the right time to buy a home!
When you are middle aged, you have enough experience, money & maturity to make the right decision. Home ownership becomes a reward for leading a happy family life, a successful career & a meticulous money management.
In your 20s & 30s, you are not fully prepared to take the most important decision in your life. Your limited budget forces you to choose pigeon hole size flat build by some unscrupulous builder in some undeveloped location which has no basic urban infrastructure. You take a big home loan & lose your financial freedom. And your property becomes punishment.
What say you? What is the right age to buy a home?

Good to read first news post Diwali about ready possession flat with completion certificate in location habitable for humans. Like there is Pune Darshan, flat buyers should also do Infra Darshan before buying flat !

- Actually, flat buyers in Pune, especially IT yedas got paid far more than what they deserved, & hence we saw anyone buying anything, anywhere because they couldn't differentiate between price & value.
"In your 20s & 30s, you are not fully prepared to take the most important decision in your life. Your limited budget forces you to choose pigeon hole size flat build by some unscrupulous builder in some undeveloped location which has no basic urban infrastructure.

- Agree. In my personal contacts, I know 3 persons who purchased flat in Pune, 2 are abroad, 1 in Hyderabad. They purchased flat under peer pressure but now don't have plans to come to Pune for atleast next 6-7 years. One of them who is abroad already has permanent resident visa of that country. Now 2 flats are put on sale, 1 rented out ! All 3 repenting decision to buy flat. Purchase should be made only on long term, irrespective of price, location & builder.
Taking big loan, taking long duration home loan (10+ years), giving away significant income towards EMI is bad financial decision. Some take loan on joint income ! Ridiculous.

Black money crackdown: "Land prices may crash 30% in 6 months"
Pankaj Kapoor, MD, Liases Foras, a real estate consultancy, believes land prices will crash 30 per cent in the next 3-6 months. "It will have a big impact especially on the land prices and luxury market . They were used as avenues to hoard black money."
Samtak Das, Chief Cconomist and National Director, Research of Knight Frank, says, "Land prices will be under pressure as in residential sector the unaccounted money is 30 per cent, in case of land it is 50 per cent."
"The construction cost will also go down by 20-25 per cent as the money that the builder has to pay in black to get the approvals from the authorities will not happen now as people will be scared of taking cash," said Kapoor.
http://www.businesstoday.in/money/real-estate/black-money-crackdown-land-prices-to-crash-30percent-in-6-months/story/239663.html
So with all these things taken into account, flat prices should fall by atleast 50-60%. Big whammy for builders, hoarders.
And yes, many builders will be thrown out of business as their real estate firm used to run on black money of politicians, gutter babus, doctors etc. So even after crash in real estate prices, buy ready for possession flats only as completion for under-construction flats is not guaranteed as such builders can go full bankrupt.
Out of curiosity, checked the floor plan.
ReplyDelete6 flats per floor, lot of common walls so 36 flats in building with just 1 lift.
2 building are connected to each other giving effect of 12 flats per floor leading to poor light & ventilation for flats in between !
No dry balcony/utility terrace for kitchen. This means of 2 bathrooms, 1 gets wasted & no proper space to keep washing machine, dish washer. Clothes come on regular terrace which wastes that space & spoils elevation.
And still builder asks for over a crore for 2bhk flat !
Why don't builder hire good architects than only save cost by cutting corners especially when combined flats cost as per builder rate is atleast 75 Cr ?
Being ready possession is the only advantage, nothing more especially for the price.

Swachh Real Estate! Home prices to dive -
As cash disappeared, sales halted, transactions got cancelled and a lot else happened ....leaving people aghast.
In the real estate business, where only 30 percent payment is done through cheque and the rest through cash, the PM’s magic move to juggle away the cash has left the builders and brokers in a tighter situation than ever, and at the same time hitting the sector hard which is already in a slowdown position. Now, the move has put it in a halt mode.
This cleansing act will wipe out all the inconsistencies and unfair trade practices leading to a Swachh Real Estate, yes! Hats off to our PM for making everyone tighten their cash belts!

In yesterday's speech PM pledged to target 'Benami Properties'. However I believe it won't be that easy as demonetization. But if it happens to be done, then another big blow for Real Estate as 60-70% of RE constitutes investment properties.
ReplyDeleteThanks TheMonk for the above information.
ReplyDeleteRavi do you think devaluation of 500-1000 will bring down the high real estate price? Are you writing any article to echo your opinion on this?
