Lowest home loan in two decades
Prashant Thakur, director and head of research at Enrock Property Consultants, said that the combination of GST exemption, stamp duty and the lowest home loan interest rates in almost two decades is a strong argument, now favoring ready-to-move homes. If we are an additional factor in the incentive offered by developers, buyers in the state tend to focus on zero waiting / quick satisfaction homes with a particular advantage. Talking about the under construction category, the assets that are completed in the next 6-7 months are the next good option. The report says that they will not be exempt from GST, yet their price will be less than five to 10 percent in view of the finished houses.
