Ready-To-Move-In Homes are Becoming Popular Among Home Buyers These Days

The recent crackdown by the Government of India on the real-estate fraudsters has created a small burr in the sales and launch of new projects. The recent modifications in rules and regulations, such as Goods and Services Tax(GST) and Real Estate Regulatory Authority(RERA) has kept the home buyers in the dilemma for a very long time.
Now, as a matter of fact, there are many other reasons that these days, the home buyers prefer ready-to-move apartments over under-construction units. Some of the reasons have been listed below:

Delayed Possession:



This reason is the front runner among all the other reasons which prompt buyers to purchase ready-to-move-in projects. There are several cases in India, where projects have been delayed for several months and even years. This is the main reason why ready-to-move apartments are always a preferable choice for home buyers.

Financial Burden Due to High Rentals:


Now, when a person purchases an under-construction property he has to pay both rentals and EMI, thus making is a burden on the shoulder of a large number of buyers. This adds to the daily expenses of the buyers.

Tax Burden Because of GST:


Currently, the under-construction properties attract 12% GST whereas ready-to-move apartments are still kept outside of this new tax regime. This is another reason that the home buyers prefer ready-to-move apartments over under-construction properties.

Though the GST rate on houses under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) has come down to 8% but it is only a case with affordable housing. The industry bodies are still urging with the central government to bring the GST rate to half on most of the properties to boost the stagnant realty sector.

Will prices of Real Estate go down in Bangalore?

After the change of government and new measures introduced to curb black money, there have been many changes in the economy, and chiefly in the real estate markets. There have been other significant measures taken too, for example the RERA and the GST. The cumulative effect of the trio has caused a huge impact on the market, and has changed dynamics greatly. After a very long interval of time, the real estate properties have exuded out of the eclipse of loss, and have moved to the house of gain. This of course was possible because it was backed by RERA strongly. Present market scenario: It is to be noted that an effective 10-15% rise in the property sales happened because of the strict rules and regulations of RERA, and even though there is hint of recovery in the market, it can be noted that the entire scenario is still in the favor  of home buyers.
