The festive season has already started from Navratri and will go on till Diwali. This is the time when most people are favorably inclined towards making big purchases like homes and cars. This is also a time when real estate developers offer several benefits, freebies and other special schemes for buyers. Developers are also offering several incentives and gifts to buyers this year, particularly in Delhi-NCR.
According to experts, real estate developers in Delhi-NCR are already offering free wardrobes for buyers in every bedroom, 32-inch LED television sets absolutely free of cost, modular kitchens with RO and even fully furnished apartments in some cases. Several developers are offering gold coins with home purchases or even global holidays.
