All of us have a dream -- of making our 'dream homes' into a reality. Residential properties, be they flats, plots or bungalows, are advertised in different media, including local newspapers, radio, television and the internet. There are many options for a first home seeker, but the smart first home seeker is one who picks the right one.
Industry bodies such as MCHI organise exhibitions (like MCHI PROPERTY 2011) where 'smart' home seekers can rely on exhibitors who will treat them not as customers, but as friends. MCHI and the developers who are the exhibitors at such property expos share your aspirations, your dreams and help make these come true.
Owning a house remains the average Indian family's biggest goal. There were times when one couldn't even dream of buying a house till one was well into the middle age. These were days, when years were spent stashing away money for four walls and a roof -- but that doesn't hold true any longer.
The real estate market has options galore, plus funding options that make it attractive enough -- and bring your dream house within reach. The best time to buy a house is when you are young, when you have enough time left to enjoy that home and see it grow as an investment, to live at least half your life with the confidence that comes from owning property.
And it can be done. It is our fond hope that this 'guide' will be the friend that shows you how. It is a brief example of issues and explanations about the process of home buying. It is meant to be a starting point, which will help you clear the fundamental issues and help you figure out how best to start the process of selecting your first home. Here's wishing you success in the process, and MCHI would like to remind you that we are here to help you with whatever doubts you may have.
