Benefits of Open Houses

Open houses are the most common procedure for marketing your property. While most of sellers see this as an effective means of selling their house, some find open houses as just a waste of time. Neighbors and curious visitors flock to your home and check around, inspecting your private living space. A lot of these people have no intentions of buying your house. This can be dangerous, as some of these people are actually thieves, want to check your house.

Some agents prefer to hold private open houses, where other agents in the place tour the home, keeping their clients in mind. This is beneficial for both buyer and the seller. The buyer acquires detail inside about a house from their agent as soon as it is placed on the market. The seller has the advantage of not having to worry about opening their doors to just someone else along the street. (more…)

Lower Home Loan Rates Pushing Property Deals

After the government announced lower interest rates on home loans, a lot of buyers are once again hoping to buy their dream home. According to a report Finance Minister Mr. Pranab Mukherjee, 1% subsidy will be given to the people who will be buying houses for not more than Rs.20 Lakhs and this subsidy will be given for the first year on Rs.10 Lakhs only. However, this scheme may not be much beneficial to many people but still middle and lower income group can benefit from it. Still, it is not clear that this scheme will be available with lower interest rates schemes or it is applicable with other house loan packages

With schemes being provided on low priced houses, there has been an increase in the demand for such units as till now builders were focusing on luxury apartments in price range on 50 Lakhs or above. But after the slowdown, property market has shrunk and now builders are focusing more on mid budget apartments in the range of 30-50 lakhs or lower budget apartments in the range of 15-25 lakhs.Even though it is difficult to find such low price houses in Delhi/NCR or even Tier-II cities, builders and developers are coming up with many new affordable housing projects to push property transactions.
