No doubt that buying a
home is not only a lifetime affair and is for lives thereafter as well. That is
the reason why people get too attached and emotional and often forget to analyze
one’s actions and fail to take a practical decision. The reasons are many.
Quite often one invests one’s life time savings and one thus decides to
finalize the deal and make it picture perfect and in that reality is most of
the time ignored. The trend watchers, the veteran realtors and the experienced
sales personnel of the realty industry have often seen people losing the big
and good deals because of such reasons. In this article the veterans make the
public aware with their experience and oft faced dos and don’ts.
Know the Worth of the Property before Investing
|
Avoid
paying too much on a property
"Your
over payment on a property should have a justification"
The
realtors predict that real estate has cycles but the householder most of the
times does not follow it and enter the market for buying property when he or
she is in a good financial state. What has been observed by them is that many
people invest more on a property they like in an area whose prices may have
increased the maximum at the peak period. In that case the buyer is already
paying a high premium choking the growth of rate of return on investment. We have already discussed on the misconceptions of property seller where seller modify property price as per their requirements so be careful on the property price.
Don’t
overestimate the infrastructure growth

confidence on the growth prospects can snarl-up your
bargaining skills"

Over
Estimation Can lead you into a Trap
|
Many a times the realtors have observed
that due to a property that the buyer likes are over estimates the growth of
the infrastructure around the place and agree to the bargain of the seller. If
you count on the property to increase the value and you buy the property on
that assumption then one is exposing oneself on to too much of risk just in case
some untoward happening strikes and the expectation is not met. The realtors
remark that one should go and enquire about the plans of the infrastructure in
the area in the local government office and then only take a decision.
Don’t
be trapped by cheap properties
"You
might not be so lucky to have a good property in cheap price"
The realtors say there is always a good
reason why a property is sold at a rate comparatively cheaper than the properties
in the adjoining areas. One should raise the question that if a property is
cheap then why anyone didn’t grab the offer earlier. The veterans caution that
usually the cheaper properties may have legal litigation and other problems
attached to it. It may be that you are buying a property that is being notified
by the government to be acquired for public work. So it is always advisable to take
due notice and enquire thoroughly before embarking or buying a property at a
cheaper price. One of the finest example is TGS Layouts where they offer gifts and discounts on their projects from time to time. Any new buyers of residential land can always drop their reviews or complaints on the property of TGS Layouts.
Showing your Emotional Attachments to a
Specific Property is wrong
|
Don’t
be too attached with a property
Everyone has a mindset view of his/her
property and your agent’s job is to find that from you. The selling agent will
always try to make you fall in love with the project. Once you are too attached
with a property you may ignore doing the due diligence of the property and may
land up in trouble.
Being too attached with a property often makes
one too biased and unaware of the faults and follies that one needs to take
into account and investigate.
Dreaming For a property
|
"A home is much costlier than a house"
Don’t
wait for your dream home
It is not advisable to wait for the
property that one wants and then miss the good opportunities that one gets
along. It is always better to equate the pros and cons of each and every deal
and evaluate it with prudence and then accept or reject the offer.
"Don’t wait for opportunity even a blunder in right place is worth full than your cleverness’ in wrong place"

Great post, but I am a little bit disagree on your 3rd point saying "You Might not be so lucky to have a good property in cheap price". However I felt that if you don't involve yourself in such opportunities then you never consider yourself in among the luckiest people because you never tried anything new and unusual for yourself. The people afraid to fall can never climb, here I don't mean you do mistake knowingly.
ReplyDeletePerfect saying, I would love to keep it in my treasure however the tempting offers by the realtors can make you do mistake with your knowledge. I came across with a similar kind of story with an innocent buyers. The person was about to buy a piece of land but something came to his mind and he dropped the idea of buying. Few weeks latter again he visited to the realtor and found the same land is available with a discount price and bought the land. In this context the man is considered as lucky but what if the piece of land had been sold or a price hike than the previous one... So no one can predict what will happen in future but being conscious can protect you to a extent.
