The survey report further instills the confidence of homebuyers in housing sector of these two fast developing cities. Multi decade low home loan rates along with attractive offers by the developers are major reasons for surge in booking for affordable homes segment in post-Covid scenario, with 70% buyers’ category being end users.
The government of Maharashtra and Karnataka reduced stamp duty to give boost to real estate sales, making it an opportune time for homebuyers also. The developers are also coming up with attractive schemes such as free gold coins, modular kitchen, car and EMI-holiday etc. These schemes helped in converting more sales especially in 2 BHK and 3 BHK home segments, priced between INR 50 lakh to INR 1 crore during FY3 2020. Buyers can choose from various affordable and mid-range projects in ready to move and under construction segment.

Owning an apartment in a housing project across these markets is a good decision as the current scenario favors the homebuyers. But, sometimes, young professional may have insufficient savings to fund the initial amount for down payment to buy a house. HomeCapital is a platform that supports such individuals to help them purchase their first home by offering an interest free unsecured personal loan of up to 50% of the down payment that can be paid back in 12 EMIs.
At present, looking at the prices of shares in the stock market, real estate prices are in the affordable to mid-range making real estate the most promising segment. The current market scenario offers ready to move inventories at the price of under construction property, which also attract the GST. However, experts feel that the surge in demand will soon give a rise in property prices again so this is the right time for owning a house as all the factors favoring the buyers.
According to a report by Anarock, housing is the most preferred asset class over other asset classes such as gold, FDs and stock market after Covid-19 pandemic. Around 62% people consider this is an appropriate time to own a home, as even millennials are focusing on buying a house. Several prospective homebuyers are moving towards peripheral locations, which offer larger size properties along with an improved lifestyle at affordable prices.
Many homebuyers are also looking to own a house because it gives them a sense of security during exigencies like the pandemic in 2020. More than 60% homebuyers prefer to purchase a property from branded and known developers and are ready to pay even more than the non-branded ones, due to their compliance for quality and time bound completion of the project. Keeping in mind the work from home perspective, bigger homes are in demand, even in suburbs to accommodate the changed needs. For some, this has also reversed the trend of buying a house in proximity to the workplace, as your home is the new office now.
There are some great upcoming housing projects in Bangalore and Pune that offer better prospects to residential market and provide ease of living.
