The season commences with Ganesh Cha truthi followed by Navratri, Durga Puja and Dussehra and reaches its peak around the festival of lights, Diwali. Buyer should always look for meaningful festive offers that help them realise their real estate dreams and also ensure that they are benefiting from the offer. The purpose of buying during the festive season is to benefit from the offer, so the motto of the consumers should be to buy the desired property at the lowest possible price.“

Experts point out that during the festive season, realty companies launch new projects an also promote their existing projects by offering significant discounts, gifts and other free bies. Buyers should keep a track of projects that are coming up, status of the project, one's budget and then, based on the shortlisted projects, look for discounts offered during the festive period.
“While offers and discounts are available, a customer has to personally like the property and not get lured with the attractive pricing or freebies associated with it. Once the customer has shortlisted twothree properties, he has to arrive at the best price after comparing the discounts the net result being what is the gross outflow divided by the number of sq ft of the carpet area,“ feels, Harjith D Bubber, MD and CEO, Rivali Park, CCI Projects.
