Festive Real Estate Offers Are Just Gimmicks or These Even Decrease The Cost of Property?

Festive season brings the shower of offers for the homebuyers to ease their property investment. Sundry of offers like free, car, no GST, no EMI till the possession, several payback schemes and the list goes on for luring the buyers’ interest to real estate sector. Some people think that this is nothing but the marketing strategy of the promoters to sell out unsold inventories throughout the year in order to take the real estate sale upward. Definitely builders are incumbent upon high debt cost for unsold units. Thus, they offer a series of discounts to attract buyers towards real estate ventures.

Before running after the catch, we advise you to go through the offers minutely. These discounts can be divided into four major categories. 1. Cash related discounts. 2. Non-cash discounts. 3. Rewarding scheme or 4. Waive off GST.  Do these offers really bring down the cost of property or not, let’s delve into that.

Cash discounts- Let’s assume you want to buy property in Kolkata during this Diwali, as builder is currently offering 5-6 lac cash discount against your selected residential unit, which is worth of 60 lac. What happens is you understand these offers, while not having the knowledge of the monetary value of these offers. Usually, these offers remain valid for limited period of time and these offers directly reduce the cost of ownership of the end-users. But, in most of the cases promoters elevate the base price and then offer the discount which indicates rushing after the attractive discount is not really gainful. Thus, it’s advisable that you need to check the circle rate before jumping into conclusion. Cash discount is profitable only when the developer hasn’t increased the base price for last 6-12 months.

Flattering rewards- During the festive season developers offer a lot of freebies on property purchase. But are these really free? The overall cost of these complimentary offers is ultimately included in the property price. Mostly, these products are of inferior quality and developers don’t guarantee these free offered products. However, investing in real estate will return you the best market returns against your lay out.

Easy payment plans- Flexible payment plans are another festive discounts offered by the developers. The objective behind such payment schemes is to aim the liquidity of the buyers. But practically people who opt for these payment plans end up paying extra amount than those who make the full payment. One should always check this payment plans are either time- bound where the remaining amount to be paid within mentioned tenure or it’s possession-bound where the balance payment to be paid during the time of the possession. Some developers also offer interest subvention plan where they pay interest during the construction phase. This scheme also offers higher basic price. Through these schemes developers raise fund at a lower cost (4-7%) than that of borrowing from financial institutions.

GST waivers- GST is waived from those properties which have got occupancy certificates. Don’t get mislead by any offers whereas the original offer can cut your cost. There is straight discount of 12% on OC-ready projects. Only investing in under construction projects attract GST charges. Pre-OC price attract GST and Post-OC price will be the either the same or a little less.
