The time from Navratri to Diwali i.e. festive season is always considered a symbol of auspicious and prosperity in India. During this time people buy gold, silver, utensils and gifts, but buying a house is also considered very special. The festive season of 2025 can prove to be even better for home buyers as this time there are many benefits from both the government and developers.
Repo rate stable, relief on EMI
The Reserve Bank of India has recently stabilized the Repo Rate of August after a series of interest rates in interest rates this year. This simply means that there will be no increase in EMI of home loan. According to the expert, buyers can make their financial plans without pressure for a long time and can easily decide to buy a house.
Cost reduction due to GST improvement
The government has reduced GST on construction materials like cement, marble and granite. This will reduce the cost of building a house and can also reduce prices comparatively. Buyers will get the benefit of real savings. At the same time, the cost of projects for developers will be low. This means that both home buyers and developers will benefit.
Transparency and trust from rera
Recent changes in RERA’s rules have further increased the trust of buyers. Project delivery, registry and payment processes now have more transparency than before. Due to this, those who buy the house are getting security guarantee and the possibility of fraud is also decreasing. This thing has encouraged home buyers. Due to this, sales of homes are expected to increase in the festive season.
Attractive offers of developers
In the festive season, developers are providing facilities like flexible payment plan, cash discount, stamp duty waiver, free modular kitchen and parking for buyers. Also, more buyers are being accessed through digital marketing and influencers campaign.
What do experts say
Rajan Yadav, director of Roots Developers, says, “This festive season has brought a new hope for the real estate sector. The government’s favorable policies, tax deduction on construction materials and improvement in infrastructure have made the atmosphere very positive for home buyers. Developers are also offering offers and easy payment plans, due to which it is a great time to buy and invest a house.
According to Yashank Vasan, managing director of Royal Green Realty, GST on cement has been reduced from 28% to 18%, which can reduce both construction costs and houses. He said, ‘Investing in new projects with exemption in festive season and easy payment plan is becoming the right choice. Also, RBI has kept the repo rate stable, which will not increase the burden of EMI.
Purchase of houses increases by 20%
Concert Infrastructure Pvt. Limited’s business head Mohit Aggarwal says, “Gurugram’s infrastructure and professional environment is attracting buyers, while people are also increasing interest in places like Goa. Projects going on in Goa show that people now want to take another house, which is beneficial in both peace and investment.
According to Vaomeki Group Chairman and Founder Gaurav K Singh, the purchase of houses increases in the festive season. He says, ‘History is witness that the shopping of homes in the festive season increases by 15-20%. Better infrastructure, connectivity and new lifestyle centers have made Noida a top choice for buyers and investors. This time too, there is great hope from buyers.
