Overlooking A Real Estate Sale Advertisement in India

India is today becoming a fast emerging real estate market. There is a definite increase in the demand for property and consequently the land prices have sky rocketed. With an increasing amount of population migrating to metros, the price in these tier A cities is increasing every other quarter. For any new buyer it is also quite important to first study the market before deciding to carry out any purchase. There are several options available in the market and so one shouldn’t decide to invest in a particular kind of real estate unless he has shopped around for it well at first. The best means to do this is to read through the advertisements of various properties that have been put up on sale.

How to read through a sale advertisement?

For the average man, it can be at times too difficult to understand what a sale advertisement might be saying. Some of the questions one needs to ask whilst going through a sale advertisement are:

1. What is the floor area of the property?

2. If it happens to be an old property, then how much wear and tear has occurred in the asset?

3. Is the person putting up the notice the actual seller or an agent?

4. Does the quoted price also tend to include the price of the parking space?

5. Are certain facilities such as power backup, gas pipeline, etc. mentioned in the advertisement?

How to obtain information on real estates which are put up for sale?

With the recent technology improvements, communication is always the best medium to know about the sites which are put up on sale. The major sources of information include –

1. Newspapers: These days, newspapers (such as The Times of India, The Hindustan Times, etc.) are flooded with information of properties which are put up on sale. These also tend to include properties that can be rented out. The list includes both commercial and residential plots and flats. One can obtain information on both pre-launch offers and second hand properties whilst going through these classifieds. These advertisements are either put up by the property owner themselves or by real estate agents on behalf of the actual seller.

2. Site Offices: Most of the builders (like DLF, Unitech etc.) usually tend to sell fresh flats and one might needs to contact a broker in order to buy a resale flat. When visiting the office or site of such a builder, one can easily get brochures having details of the properties they are building. These include details such as plot area, design, layout, and the estimated price. Going through this channel saves a person from the hassles of real estate agents, but again one might find only flats which might be open for fresh bookings.

3. Notice boards: Sometimes, people might post their requirements on the community or company notice boards (like TCS, Infosys etc.). Through this medium the property might be advertised only to a small group which might have access to that notice board.

4. Internet: This is fastly catching up as the easiest medium to know about the properties which have been put up for sale. There are several sites where one can find such information. Some of these sites only tend to list information which is related to a particular city – so one might find a site having details of real estate for sale in Mumbai, and another which might have details of real estate for sale in Delhi and NCR and so on.
