Buy your dream house with low-interest home loans and discounts this Diwali

Property buying during Diwali provides real estate developer discounts and offers, home loan offers and low-interest rates, making home buying ideal during the festive season

Diwali is the festival of lights, symbolic of the glow that fills everyone’s hearts and minds. It is an auspicious time to start something new, and the festivities inspire people to buy and gift. As a result, Diwali is of great commercial importance as well. It often turns out to be the best time to purchase property as well. Real estate developers grant discounts and offer on existing and new inventories while lenders launch Diwali-specific home loan offers. Besides, the interest rates continue to remain highly conducive for the homebuyer too.

Here are a few reasons why buying a property during Diwali is worth a thought.

Clearing inventories

Real estate developers are mindful of the rise in consumerism during Diwali. As a result, they often offer attractive prices on their unsold inventories. With the economy returning to normalcy after the COVID-19 setback, there is hope that sales will pick up in the real estate market. Diwali can be the perfect time for homebuyers as developers will look to clear unsold inventories and plan for new launches.

New launches

It is not only you who considers Diwali as the ideal time to start a new investment. Real estate developers also look at Diwali as an auspicious time to launch their projects. For instance, over 500 projects are expected to be launched in Nashik city in the 2021 Ganeshotsav to Diwali festive period. This goes for most emerging cities and suburbs in India. So, if you are looking to buy a property, keep an eye on new launches by reputed builders. You are also likely to enjoy an appreciation in value when the property is ready to move in.

Low-interest rates

If the decade-low interest rates are any indication, you can land a home loan in the present market at a bargain interest cost. This, combined with the Diwali buzz, can help you get a decent house property at an all-time low price. IDFC FIRST Bank is offering easy loan and also home loans starting at an interest rate of 6.9%, easily one of the most competitive rates in the industry. RBI’s decision in October 2021 to keep the interest rate unchanged further assures that low home loan interest rates are likely to prevail.

Offers and discounts

Apart from low home loan interest rates, you may have added incentives on offer. This includes customised home loans, flexible repayments, increased tenure etc. IDFC FIRST Bank, for instance, offers up to 30 years of repayment tenure. You can customise your home loan so that the EMI repayment meets your finances. 

Developers also offer discounts, free home appliances, free parking, etc., to make the home purchase more attractive. You can also negotiate with your developer to monetise the complimentary benefits and reduce your purchase price instead. 

The gradual recovery from the pandemic makes this Diwali particularly significant. Keeping these aspects in mind, buying a home during this festive season can be a good investment for your future. With IDFC FIRST home loans, you can own property while enjoying the benefit of a low home loan interest rate and a smooth and fast customer journey. As more and more developers are coming under the fold of RERA, you will also be able to select reliable builders and have statutory consumer protection for yourself.
