Buying a home is not only about finding a property within your budget. The location, builder, project status, amenities, connectivity, and future development of the area can all affect the decision.
When researching a new residential project, I usually recommend checking these points:
- Start With the Location
Instead of searching only by city, narrow your search to the locality or areas around important landmarks. This makes it easier to compare projects that are actually relevant to where you want to live.
For example, if you're looking for projects in Gujarat, you can explore:
Real Estate Projects in Rajkot
(https://homenesto.com/rajkot/)
Real Estate Projects in Ahmedabad
(https://homenesto.com/ahmedabad/)
- Compare Multiple Projects
Look at several projects rather than choosing the first one you find. Compare:
- Price range
- Project status
- Possession timeline
- Configuration and unit sizes
- Amenities
- Location and connectivity
- Builder track record
- Verify Project Information
Before making a decision, verify important information from official sources and applicable government records. Marketing material should not be the only source used for a property decision.
- Think Beyond the Property
A good home also depends on the surrounding area. Schools, hospitals, transportation, shopping, employment hubs, and major roads can have a significant impact on convenience and long-term value.
I have been working on "Homenesto" (https://homenesto.com), a real estate project discovery platform focused on helping users explore builder projects by city, locality, and landmark.
The goal is simple: make it easier to discover and compare real estate projects before contacting a builder or making a purchase decision.
If you're researching property in India, what factors do you check before shortlisting a project?
