Best time to upgrade to a spacious home
The lockdown in India over the past 6 months has made everyone realise how important own-ing your own spacious home is. With Work From Home (WFH) being the new norm for adults and children having online school every day, we continue to bump into each other every few minutes. While at one time, home was seen as an escape from office and work, now going to work has become the new escape. The pandemic has now become the best time to buy real estate with developers showcasing generous offers and the government also im-plementing regulations to support the real estate industry.
A recent survey by JLL India1 shows that over 91% of people polled over the age of 35 prefer buying an apartment over renting one in the next 6 months. Additionally, 67% of them believed that buying a home has now become a necessity, not a luxury. A consumer sur-vey conducted by Anarock2 during the lockdown period said that 12% respondents who were previously not planning to buy, are now interested.
People are now looking for houses that can adapt to their ever changing needs and have enough space for themselves and their growing family to be able to work/study as well as get some privacy doing it all. The uncertainty about rentals have also become a point of stress during these difficult times and people are starting to realise that they’d rather pay the EMI and have an asset instead of having the rental liability.
Other popular investment asset classes such as stocks and gold are quite volatile and unpre-dictable in pandemic times. Paying the EMI for a house has dual benefits. It not only gives you a month of shelter but also increases the proportional ownership of the house. Addition-ally, home loans come with attractive tax benefits; rental housing does not. Housing retains its intrinsic value in uncertain times and eventually appreciates when times improve.
Fortunately, the repo rate to which the home loan interest rates is linked is at a 20-year low. Currently, the lowest interest rate is at about 6.85% when at this time last year, the lowest interest rate was between 8.55%-8.75%, making it the best rate in decades.
The reduction in stamp duty rates has also accelerated this shift to the buying sentiment. As of 1st September, the stamp duty charged till 31st December 2020 will only be 2% and from 1st January 2021 to 31st March 2021 the stamp duty charged will be 3%. Earlier, the stamp duty charged was 5% in key cities like Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur and Nashik and 6% in others.
No GST on ready apartments, low booking amounts, attractive offers and tantalising referral schemes are just some of the various offers on table for the discerning homebuyers right now. Ready to move in flats are moving more quickly as of now since there is no GST while giving prospective home buyers the assurance of being able to move in as soon as they want.
