New Delhi, September 17, 2016: “This Festive, buy your dream home at a price you cannot imagine.” We often come across similar advertisements during festive seasons, and they are almost everywhere – on televisions, trains, bus-stops and even on your computer screen.

No doubt, having a home you can call your own is the best feeling you can ever have. You spend almost whole of your life saving a fortune to buy a home. Festivals are times when individuals, especially in India, believe that buying a home is auspicious, and that’s exactly when several discounts are offered on properties.

The question is, are these discounts and offers trustworthy? We often come across cases where a few fake builders claim to offer homes at the lowest possible price. Most of these offers are highly tempting, and many individuals fall for these claims without carrying out a thorough investigation. Result? They have been cheated and the builder in question is most likely on the run.

Now, that doesn’t mean all discounts and offers on real estate untrustworthy. Many renowned real estate builders in fact are known to offer the best deals on properties especially during festive seasons, and most of these can greatly add up to your savings.

Some curious minds might ask, “How are the builders benefiting in offering discounts?” Asking this question is totally justified, especially when the discount is too high, making it look suspicious. Obviously, no builder or any other businessman would ever want to do business by suffering a huge loss.

Builders come up with discounts only after having done a good amount of calculations behind the scene. But, they ensure you do not suffer a hidden charge and the homes are offered at the promised price. However, there are chances a few builders may have some unique terms and conditions in place. Make sure you have gone through all of these before you say ‘yes’ to the deal.

Should you be opting for such deals then? The answer is ‘of course’ but only after you have made a good amount of research. Keep in mind that discounts are not the only festive offers builders come up with.

Some even help you get the necessary home loan with all the paperwork done for you. In some cases, builders also let you pay the amount in easy instalments. All you need to pay initially is a certain advance amount and the rest can be paid in easy instalments amount set by the builder.

You must have often come across some foolish advertisements that say, “Buy 1 home and get the 2nd one free or probably at half the price.” Apart from being a sign of bad advertisements, it can also turn out to be a dangerous trap for those who believe that such advertisements may be true. Anything you feel is impossible to be true should be avoided.

No doubt, festive season is indeed the best time to buy your dream home. You should definitely make the best use of offers and discounts available, but only after you have done the necessary investigation. After all, you would not want to see any unwanted surprises coming your way.
