Ashwani Kumar, a local real estate broker in Noida says, “Mid-priced homes are very popular among young professionals who are first time home buyers. In some cases such mid-range options are popular owing to their proximity to the IT hubs and the social infrastructure of the area.”

Affordability: Mehek Chawla, a house wife says, “We are currently living in a rented accommodation and plan to purchase a mid-priced home as it suits our pocket. We will be taking a home loan through a reputed bank up to 80% of the cost.”
Same amenities: Kumar says, “In a price segment of up to Rs 40 lakh,developers across the country offer various modern amenities such as club house, swimming pool, gym, pipe gas, security, parks, power back-up, among others.”
RohitPoddar, Managing Director, Poddar Housing and development says, ‘To boost the slowdown-hit real estate sector, the government had announced infrastructure status to affordable housing to encourage investment in this segment and offered tax sops to developers sitting on completed unsold inventories. The National Housing Bank will refinance individual housing loans of about Rs 20,000 crore in 2017-18. To promote affordable homes, the government also proposed to amend the Section 80-IBA, relaxing the condition of period of completion of a project for claiming deduction from the current three years to 5 years.”
