Right time to buy your dream house?

Owning a house is biggest and hardest dream which resides in every eye. But are the market conditions favoring your buy decision or should you wait and watch for some more time.

I am of the opinion that each property zone viz gurgaon, faridabad, noida etc has there own market economics and zones, so they should be looked at from very disjoint perspective. For example in gurgaon avg under construction 2bhk will cost you around 70-80lac, while noida will fall in range of 50-60 and faridabad will 10-20 lacs cheaper. So, lets discuss each market individually.    

I will start with Gurgaon, the millenium city of India. Prices in gurgaon has seen the steep hike in last decade where property rate has grown tremendously for my comfort. The rate on which current market is operating looks unreasonable and unsustainable. The market is mainly driven by investors and hence rates are currently holding up, even in the scarcity of buyers. The supply is not an issue in gurgaon with dawarka expressway coming up, sohna road and greater or new gurgaon, which makes these exponential hike in prices even more surprising. I think gurgaon market is definitely staring a correction. If i am buyer in gurgaon I will definitely wait as current rates of property will make me comfortable only in renting a property rather than buying one.   

Noida has been the steady market rates has been as bullish as gurgaon (offcourse noida doesn't have international airport near it). Noida as city appeals to me in terms of infrastructure and planning. The most of space in noida has been exhausted (as authority doesn't have enough space to allocate to farmers as per court's decision). Which makes me believe the best of noida yet to come. 2bhk in noida from decent builder still costs you around 50lacs.
But even if you are looking for buget houses and have time horizon of 5-10 years, yamuna expressway, noida extension and greater noida will interest you.

Faridabad is situated right between the Noida and gurgaon. It has a strategic placement in NCR and with greater faridabad has well planned sectors or a sub city as i would like to call it. With the price tag between 30-40 for 2bhk. It makes perfect sense to buy a property if you have limited budget, because prices will only increase from here. The main disadvantage with the city is NO IT parks.

The areas of interest might be manesar, bhiwadi, raj nagar extension etc., these areas are good residents who are working near these places or have time horizon of 5 years at least.

Sector 143 has potential to become the next city center of Noida

I have been keeping watch on sector-143, the reasons for which I believe it has potential to become next city center are proximity to key growth factors like: 
  1. Connectivity to Delhi via metro
  2. State of the art ISBT, Noida
  3. SEZ's
  4. Strategic location on Noida expressway which makes yamuna expressway, Greater noida and Delhi within minutes of reach 
  5. FNG (Connection with Ghaziabad and possibly Faridabad)
  6. Companies like Headstrong, Sapient, Accenture etc. within radius of 1km
Hope this helps you in taking educated decision.

PS: I am not endorsing or advertising any thing here it's just what i believe. Do carry out your research before taking any decision.

No Space in noida Builders moving to gurgoan

Farmer agitation lead to noida authority giving more land to farmers and hence exhausted of any land available with the authority. What this essentially means is property prices going to rise in noida and that rise will be greater than what we have seen in last few years because demand will continue to grow while supply cease progressively.

Investors who have invested in noida have reached the jackpot in this ideal condition (for them at least). This is probably the best time to buy\book property in noida when rates in sum of the fresh project are still in the range of 3k to 3.5k because builders will start increasing the prices once they'll reach the optimal bookings in the project.

Gurgoan seems to be the biggest beneficary in all this as builders have started moving to ggn for future projects.

One last point, if you are thinking selling your property just hold on if you can because %age returns will increase in the coming years...

Logix Neo World

Logix launched the Neo World in sector 150 on expressway way Noida. It's a cool project with host of facilities like Horse ridding, soccer field, cricket nets, golf etc.

The project has been launched @3250 with 200 off as inaugural discount. And 5% discount is very simple to get however if you bargain smartly you should get more discount.

Location wise project seems to be good however only concern i see is the construction of the project as logix has been rather sluggish in that front  and project of that scale might take forever to complete.
