Planning To Buy Property In Mumbai?

Things that you need to consider before buying a house

A lot of people in India are considering buying a property because of the belief that prices amid the pandemic crisis have come down as builders are rushing to offer discounts and payment schemes. Low home loan rates is another factor that is driving buyers.

Here are five things that you need to consider before rushing to buy a house:

1. Future plans: Before you make the decision to buy the house, it is very important for you to work out how long you think you will be able to live in that property because there is no point buying a property which looks like a great deal now because of the attractive discount but does not offer enough to fulfill your future requirements. If your job or your financial circumstances are in any way unstable, it might not be a good time to tie yourself to a location. If you buy the wrong place now not only would it make it difficult for you to afford moving to another place, it will also force you to sell at a loss if property prices fall.

2. Price correction: Some people have this misconception that since sales have been muted due to the pandemic, real estate prices have dropped. However, as per experts, property prices have not really dropped in the primary sales segment. While there are some developers who are going through exceptional financial distress and are offering significant discounts, it does not mean that prices have dropped across the board in the country.  Considering the various discounts and incentives, the overall cost for buying a house may have can come down by 10-12% in some areas but the average housing prices dropped only by about 4-5% in the July-September quarter across major metro cities like Delhi-NCR, Chennai, Pune, Kolkata, and Ahmedabad. However, data shows that in some cities like Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Mumbai housing prices have increased by 3-4% during the same period. So, consider this carefully before you seal the deal.

3. Affordability: The pandemic has hit a lot of people financially. Some have lost jobs while some witnessed pay cuts. Several people across the country are still unsure of their employment. At a time like this, assessing your affordability is one of the most important things. Going even a little over our budget can become an issue if you lose your job or suffer pay cut in the near future due to the pandemic. If you buy a house which you can not afford relying on incentive, festive bonus or promotion, it might not be a wise choice as many are not receiving their performance bonus, festive bonus or even promotions. Consider this carefully as going even slightly over budget can put you in a tight financial situation.

4. Location: While you might be getting some amazing deals and discounts on a property, if the location is not appropriate, buying the property might be a very costly mistake. While buying a house, it is crucial to consider if the location suits you. While buying a house or flat, one has to consider some key things such as distance from the economic activity centre, distance from school, hospital or bank, accessibility to social infrastructure and the overall growth of the location as an economic centre. Buying a home with a futuristic approach is not wise, since the growth potential of underdeveloped locations may not be understood correctly and you may end up buying a house in a location which is not suitable for your at all.

5. Other financial goals: Aside from buying a house, if you have other financial goals like building a retirement corpus, saving for children’s education or marriage, then you need to very carefully assess if the financial commitment of buying a house can affect your other financial goals. For those facing pay cuts, it is extremely to re-evaluate their priorities and to see how much of an impact such a large commitment will have on other financial goals. Whether it is the pandemic which has boosted your desire to own a home as a form of tangible security or you simply feel tempted by the discounts offered by the builders, you need to avoid rushing into such a huge financial commitment and do your due diligence first to ensure that you remain financially fit.
