Read Complete contribution …

I found it somewhere . I dont know who the author is but it made me comprehend.

I work in a Small IT firm at Pune. I have been looking for a house at
Wanawadi area for last six months. I have visited several new Constructions
as well as contacted various dealers.

i have had discussions with agents, who quoted Rs 45 lakhs on PHONE FOR A
3bhk and which went up to 55 lakhs the moment he come to know that I work in
an IT Company.

I finalised a Dupleix for 30 lakh only to see the owner jack its price to 40
lakhs because some agent in his society told him that he is selling him
cheap and he should sell at 40 lakhs. Till now the flat is unsold and i am
now quoting 25 lakhs for it.

I have visited new constructions and they keep on hiking prices by 200 every
week till last month. Its a another fact that most of the units are not yet
sold.

One Builder in Lullanagar keeps on increasing his flat rate by 8 lakhs every
four months with atleast 30 flats not yet booked. He has completed his
construction four year back. This alone shows the type of demand.

In one society the rate has gone from 1800 to 3100 in one year and with the
fact that only 50% of the flat has been sold and most of them at below 2100.

So what make them think that they are worth 3100 per sq feet or 60 lakhs for
a 3 BHK when the going rate was half a year back.

The common answer is - IT is coming. They have very high salary and low
mental aptitude and can easily be fooled into paying that rate.

There is an another angle to it. It is the agent lobby. They have now
started to work on anything beyond X is mine policy. Talk to any agent and
you find that They have flats at baner worth 1 crore and if you dont buy it
in a day it will go. If you happen to meet the same agent six months back,
he had said the same thing abouth that flat at Baner, but at 25 lakhs.

Suddenly Baner, Kharadi has become as expensive as the heart of Pune.

Its a another fact that it still resembles a Village and if you have not got
your own car, you will be skimmed big time by any auto that you find after
waiting for one hour.

House search is a big joke. I have simply laughed at whenever any agents
tell me that if I dont take a decision in another Ten minutes, someone else
will buy the flat. Trust me, no one is going to buy that. Ask your wife to
call that same gentleman again after 2 months and he will still be selling
you at the same time.

I have the following suggestion for any flat hunters-

1. Tell them beforehand that you are from IT and listen to whatever price
they quote.

2. Go and see the flat.

3. Meet the owner.

4. Quote him and not the agent around 10-15 lakh lower than its price.

5. Come out.

Trust me, if he really wants to sell he will follow you after a month.

Till the time you can live on rent. At the maximum a 2 BHK will cost you
10000. Please remember that if you buy anything for the rate they quote and
if you need to shift to Bangalore, you wont even get half of it. The same
agent who sold you at that rate will quote 75% when you plan to sell.

Remember all the resale flats are owned by investors who themselve are
feeling the pinch of high interest rate and want to get out. Its the greed
installed by the agents which is stopping them.

Call every builder you get. Tell them that you work in Oracle and IBM etc.
They will tel you that only two units are left. Then say that you dont want
because you need a choice. They will then say that there is lot of flats
from which you can choose.

Now ask for the price. The moment they quote laugh heavily and say that they
must be joking and then disconnect. Please remember to give them your phone
number. Trust me I still get calls from these guys.

This strategy has worked for me. Prices have come down from 65 lakhs to 50
lakhs now and I have become greedy. Remember Pune is not Mumbai. Just drive
through 10 kms and you see so much empty land.

This is just greed where they have assumed some wrong things about IT

Industry– They all are idiots.

Every IT person makes 1 lakh and above.

Again they are fools.

Remember there are guys out to exploit you.

A non-programmer thinks there are 1000 bytes in a kilobyte.

A programmer is convinced that there are 1024 meters in a kilometer.
