NRIs gain with falling Rupee

NRIs gain with falling Rupee

The scenario of Realty sector became a controversial topic few days back. While there are people who believe that the market could crash in 2013, there are also some who believe that this slowdown is temporary and cyclic. The slowdown in the realty sector is quite positive from the investor’s point of view. This is the time when you being an investor could bargain as per your desire. Even the sellers start quoting alluring prices and schemes to attract the buyer. Schemes like Subvention, Assured Returns and Assured lease guarantee are to name a few.



It surely is profitable to invest at this point of time, but being a buyer you must explore the market too. Among these attractive offers could be some fake players also, so it is advisable that you must take an expert’s advice.

Now from the Slowdown in Real Estate market, the topic of discussion has moved to the downfall of Indian Rupee. Indian money is in a free fall with the rates gone as down as Rs 60/$. According to the experts, there are various reasons behind this free fall. The money is not like us whose growth is natural. Its growth or fall depends upon the economic and social conditions of the country like imports and exports, inflation, employment, interest rates, growth rate, foreign exchange reserves, macroeconomic policies, foreign investment inflows, banking capital, commodity prices and more. It is a simple theory : when people have higher income, they spend more which in turn increases the demand of the commodities and thus regulates the money. This regulation is what increases the demand of the money and its value too.

The people who can avail benefit from this slowdown are NRIs. A non-resident-Indian, if investing in India at this point of time can make a lot of profit. With property rates already gone low, the down fall in the currency has acted as the cherry on the top of the cake for the NRIs, who are earning money in dollars.

Going by the words of the experts the Real Estate Market is expected to rise again by the end of September, this year. Till then it is a great opportunity for all the NRIs who were planning to invest in India. Real Estate being an asset cannot remain down for ever thus investing in it is always profitable.

If you are an NRI, then you must take advantage of the current scenario and invest in Real Estate in India.

5 Advantages of buying a home in slow market


The current hype in the market is “Real Estate Market Slow Down’. If you are in the Real Estate market then you must be well versed with the current market scenario; but what if you do not belong to the market?

After South India the Real Estate Market has slow down in Delhi/NCR too. This slow down can be felt in the market easily.  Following tips help you to know if there is really a slowdown in the market.


• Stay Updated: Keep yourself updated with the newspapers on the Realty news. If there is a slowdown then, it is a hot topic everywhere and the Newspapers are no exemption.

• Watch the trend: A sudden increase in the trends like Subvention Scheme, Assured Returns, Discounts and other policies are a sign of slow market. All this is done to attract the potential buyer.

Ask the Expert: Go for an expert advice. The Real Estate consultants are the best people to consult at this point of time.

To an investor, the market may look attractive as it is filled with lucrative deals. Though, it is good to invest at this stage but you must be alert before doing so.

Here are the 5 advantages that the investor can avail when investing in the Real Estate Market when the market is slowdown.

1. The seller quotes a lower price that he does when the market is at a boom.  As a buyer, you can always bargain the prices and come down to the best suiting price.

2. Do not dishearten if you can are not able to get the home at a lower price. Sellers often offer better deals like leaving a furnished home (in case of resale property), cutting on the extra charges like Parking Charges,  Club membership charges (in case of original booking) and more.

3. You can settle the deal at a lower price as compared to the deals in the hot season, where you as a buyer might have to pay some extra amount to buy the house.

4. You get more options to explore during the slowdown. When there are more sellers and less buyers then           buyers have a bright chance to explore the market.

5. There could be an increase in the number of foreclosed properties at this time.

It is wise to stay prepared. Every coin has two sides and thus, with all the advantages there is a catch too. Buying a house during slow market can be full of options available at better prices. There are chances that the Bank gets reluctant in issuing the Home loan. So, if you are willing to make an investment during the slowdown market, then you must be prepared with the options of Home Loan. Do not forget to seek an expert advice as these are the people who can get you the best property at a best price.

Why do we need Green Building


Real Estate market in India is growing at a very fast pace. Urbanization is playing a very important role towards degradation of the environment. When there is a problem, a solution always exists. The growth of Urban India cannot be stopped, but what we can do is act responsibly.

The logic behind going green is so simple, we have limited amount of resources available but the demand is ever increasing and thus the only solution left with us to conserve the resources.


The three main reasons for which we must go green are:

• It helps reduce the waste and conserve the natural resources.
• Green Building reduces power consumption. This in turn helps you to cut down on the electricity bills
• Sustainable designing helps you to stay healthy and lead a longer life.

Now, the Real Estate builders are moving towards the Green Building Concept. Not just the builders, in fact the buyers have also become smart and more responsible now. The buyers are concerned and are demanding green properties. This demand is not biased to either commercial or residential. Buyers in both the segment want their property to be Green Building Certified.

The facilities like rain water harvesting and power conservation are the two major things that people look for. Power consumption is done by using power saving appliances and materials.

Green Building is a big change in the current scenario. For sure the affects of Green Building will be cherished and enjoyed by the generations to come.

Let us unite and GO GREEN.

Environment must exist in Urban India

Global warming is the major challenge being faced by the world today. When it comes to India’s contribution towards Global Warming then the Urban India comes among the top contributors. Nor can we deny the above stated fact and neither one can deny the fact that Urbanization is the key to development.

Development and growth brings a lot of opportunities. When we talk about opportunities then we consider a place where we can have better living standards and better employment opportunities. These two factors are really important if we want to achieve the title of “Developed country”.


According to the experts, by 2050 64.1% of developing world will be urbanized. Urbanization broadly means the physical growth of Urban Areas. This growth is surely more than just loosing green fields and water bodies. Industrialization is an important part of Urbanization, which affects the environment directly and it is also reducing soil moisture and a reduction in re-uptake of carbon dioxide emissions.

This does not mean that urbanization must not take place. Urbanization must take place as this is the key answer to many problems. With urbanization the living conditions, employment opportunities as well as the economic growth advances.

So, this simply means that the Urbanization and the Environment conservation must go hand in hand. Real Estate developers can play a vital role towards environment conservation. Builders these days are really focusing on Green Building Certification, Rain-Water Harvesting and Power Conservation.
This is a very positive step towards a greener tomorrow. Urbanization with responsibility is what we need for a greener and developed country.

5 Things to remember when buying property in Auction


According to RBI’s guidelines if the borrower defaults on paying the EMIs consecutively till 6 months, then the bank is authorized to take actions. This legal action starts from sending the warning letters to the borrower and ends with auction of mortgaged property.

Buying property in bank auction can really be a good opportunity for a potential buyer.



Though, buying a property in the bank auction is a wise decision but there are points you must keep in mind before buying a property in Bank Auction.


  • Do not take things for granted.  Before investing in the property available in the Bank auction you must   check the property by yourself. Visit the site and the property and only if you get satisfied, close the deal.
  • Before the bidding starts refer to the sale deed of the property. Through this process you can ensure that the title of the property is clear.
  • Check for the municipal bills/taxes. All of them must be paid; if not then at the time of property transfer you would be liable to pay all the unpaid bills.
  • The buyer has to pay 25% of the bid amount to the bank within a day. So, you must be prepared with the finances as no bank gives you loan on the distressed property.
  • Go for an expert advice before buying such a property. There is much legality involved and thus before buying a property in the bank auction, it is better to take an expert advice.


Keep checking newspapers for such auctions but stay alert.

Happy Investing!
