Home-Buying!! Ah, that thrilling, exhausting, and terrifying milestone in every millennial or baby boomer’s life. It is no surprise that for long, a property hunting expedition left people with a truckload of stress and a basket of mixed emotions. For first-time buyers, going for a house meant putting themselves in a battlefield with Don Quixote. They got confused and ended up in a nervous wreck.
A home-buying decision entails a massive leap of faith. After all, it’s a big financial and emotional decision. It is where a person will create permanent memories, break bread with friends and close companions and enjoy the sweetest pleasures of life.
However, the latent mess the home-buying process was in, pulled homebuyers away from realizing their dream of owning a home. A dearth of credible information about Real Estate Projects, proliferation of uncouth brokers in the market, false promises made by brokers to homebuyers, unavailability of a proper mortgage system and issues with builder commitments made homebuying a thorn in every home aspirant’s life.
The situation even gets worse when we take into account the physical nature of the real estate business which involves countless property visits, an unending documentation process and harassment till the time the house is handed over to the rightful owner.
It would be an understatement if we say that millennials weren’t searching for homes or have shelved their home buying decision completely. The demand for affordable homes was on a high after the real estate sector went through a raft of reforms aimed at bringing transparency and accountability to the sector. Not to mention the deluge of queries about mid-segment homes which were recorded on online real estate platforms.
It’s just that home aspirants were in dire need of a simple, hassle-free, credible and transparent home buying process, something which Digital Real Estate Platforms like Square Yards ushered into the sector.
With a state-of-the-art digital real estate portal, laced with artificial intelligence and machine learning, Square Yards has strived in making home buying a delightful affair, replete with memories.
