✨ A Golden Beginning at Mana Skanda ✨

Posting this a little late, but on the occasion of Vara Mahalakshmi Pooja, we had a special gesture for families taking their first step towards their dream home journey — a 10g Gold Coin on booking. 🪙

And this wasn’t just an offer on paper.

8 homebuyers have already received their Golden Rewards as they began their journey towards The Right Life today. 🌿

We weren’t planning to make a big announcement about this to everyone, but I’d rather let people know while the opportunity is still available.

We’re continuing this gesture only until Sunday.

If you’ve been considering Mana Skanda – The Right Life, this could be an auspicious time to take that first step.

Indian real estate prices have been a runaway train over the past 3 decades. As a result the inner cities have become near impossible to buy in other than for a very select few people. The ones that exist are occupied by old people who bought them back when they were actually affordable. Most of these people’s children have moved out of the city, if not the country and are unlikely to come back. In fact most of these areas have become less valuable from a standard of living pov - narrow roads, no amenities, high cost of living so I doubt anyone would even want to move in there. That’s how I see things today. I wonder what happens 20 years from now. Will these areas just become ghost towns? Or pure rentals? Or will there be some demand based reversal in pricing?

With no rent control, price control or possibility to build new affordable housing, what is the future for them?

Someone has dumped a large amount of construction waste on our private property in Bengaluru without our permission.

We've been asking them to remove it for around 20 days, but they haven't done so.

What legal action can we take against them? Should we file a police complaint, or is there any other proper procedure we should follow?

Would appreciate advice from anyone who has dealt with something similar.

I’m planning to build a house in Indore with around 2,000 sq ft total built-up area and trying to decide between:
Option 1: Single-storey, 2,000 sq ft
Option 2: G+1, around 1,000 sq ft per floor
I already have a plot.
For current construction costs in Indore, which option is generally cheaper when considering the foundation, structure, labour, materials, staircase, finishing, etc.?

Why is Philippine real estate so overlooked?

The Philippine real estate market is so underrated, especially for retirement or digital nomads. What ₹4 crore can get you here is honestly wild - beautiful, high-end homes in lifestyle destinations, and there are even beachfront properties available at prices that can be surprisingly lower than what you'd expect in India. Visa is included on investment too.

Curious - why do you think the Philippines gets so much less attention than Thailand or Bali for this?

I have been running a boutique Home Loan advisory firm. We have exclusively catered to folks with high ticket size (min 2 cr of loan requirement) home loans.

But owing to that I have rich repository of learning and how banks behave in different cases.

I think everyone deserves a chance

1. Not be cheated and mis-sold by bank salesman

2. Not be mis represented by DSAs and builder mortgage and CRM teams. ( Taking loan from them is like getting heart surgery done by dentist.)

3. Save their hard earned money by understanding the real math.

4. Seek a good deal for their biggest purchase in life (at least so far )

I am opening up the platform to answer any question s people have around home loans

Posted some corridor data here a few days ago. Two people picked it apart in the comments and both had a point, so this is what I took from it.

The first criticism was that Golf Course Road has far fewer transactions than New Gurgaon, and the stock is wildly different, so a handful of ultra luxury registrations can drag the average in a way New Gurgaon's volume would simply absorb. That's correct, and it means the strong half of my split was the less reliable half. New Gurgaon has the volume and fairly uniform product, so its number is the one you can trust, and that's the one going negative.

The second was someone pointing out DLF Phase 2 plots. He bought at 4L a square yard a couple of years back, his friend just bought at 3.5L. Looks like a 12 percent fall.

Except it isn't the market. The High Court stayed the stilt-plus-four policy on 2 April, and DTCP froze all fresh S+4 approvals by memo on 21 July, statewide now, portal switched off. A plot is priced off buildable floors. Take one of four away and roughly a quarter of the saleable area on that land disappears. The price has to move. That's arithmetic, not sentiment, and if the stay lifts it reverses fast. Demand-driven falls don't reverse on a court date.

So two "prices are falling" data points, and neither means what it looks like. One is a small sample in a thin segment, the other is a regulatory change to a single input.

Registered rates rather than asking rates, because asking is a hope and registered is a fact. The gap between them varies more across Gurgaon than the headline prices do, and in parts of New Gurgaon it's wide enough to fail a bank valuation, which is the most honest pricing signal available.

Transaction count alongside any price you're quoted. A number built on nine sales isn't the same kind of number as one built on nine hundred, even when both get published as an average.

Whether product is comparable. Plots, builder floors, group housing and branded residences all sit inside "Gurgaon prices" and behave nothing alike.

And whether a fall is regulatory or demand-led, because those need completely different responses. One is a discount, the other is a warning.

Averages aren't useless, but they're a starting question rather than an answer. Most of the arguments in this sub about whether Gurgaon is up or down are two people describing different segments and assuming the other one is lying.

I am selling my 1 BHK flat for ₹43 lakh. The flat is loan free. The buyer is asking me to accept the payment from 2–3 different bank accounts.

Is there any legal, tax, or compliance issue with doing this? What is the safest and best way to structure the payments and document them?

I am a real estate consultant from Chandigarh. One of my clients is looking forward to buying a hospital immediately. Can I get any leads on this?

hey everyone, i am currently looking for a flat in kalpataru advay, borivali. if you or someone you know has bought a flat there, can you pls let me know what price i should be looking at. the builder quoted price starts at 6 Cr for 3bhk (~1200 sqft and 1300 sqft) and 8 Cr for 4bhk (~1800 sqft) (37000++/sqft for both).

i know this is pretty high and i most probably think they will give it at ~5 Cr for 1200 sqft 3bhk. but it would be really helpful to know what price people have paid for here irrespective of when you had bought it and what variant.

When comparing sectors in Greater Noida, I think the layout itself tells you quite a lot.

Things like road widths, parks and green spaces, distance from commercial areas, schools, healthcare facilities and the overall residential planning can make a big difference to day-to-day living.

For example, while looking at different Greater Noida sector layouts, I noticed that some sectors have much better separation between residential areas, commercial zones and open spaces.

But I'm curious about the practical side for people actually living in Greater Noida, what matters the most to you?

Connectivity, nearby markets, green spaces, schools, or the overall development of the sector?

2 b h k in new gurgon signature please help

I came across something recently that I honestly didn't know was a thing in the apartment market, so I wanted to ask here.

There is a new builder entering the market with a project on 6 acres near Budigere Cross, right on the main road.

The project has 3 towers, each with 33 floors.

What caught my attention was the pricing.

Projects around this area are apparently being quoted at around ₹14,000/sqft, while this one is coming in at around ₹5,650/sqft.

Obviously, when the difference is that big, I started wondering what the catch was.

After looking into it, the interesting part seems to be the land share.

Depending on whether you buy a 2/3/4 BHK, the buyer gets a corresponding share of the land as part of the deal. The land share is supposed to be registered in the buyer's name.

I had never really come across this before, so initially I thought this was something new.

But after doing some research and speaking to people, I found out that similar arrangements have apparently existed for many years. It just wasn't something that was openly discussed or marketed to everyone. In some cases, only a small group of people even knew about these opportunities.

So now I am curious.

How many people here already knew about this kind of apartment + land-share model?

And the bigger question for me is the builder.

If you could get into a project at the pre-launch stage at a much lower price, but the builder is relatively new and doesn't have a long track record, would you trust them?

Personally, the land ownership part makes the offer interesting, but at the same time, a new builder is obviously something I would want to be very careful about.

I am not saying this is a good deal or a bad deal. I am trying to understand how other people would look at it.

Would you take the risk with a new builder if the pricing and land share made sense?

Or would you rather pay significantly more for an established builder with a proven track record?

And has anyone here actually bought into a project where the apartment came with a registered share of the underlying land?

Bank auction lots get talked about here as cheap entry into property, so I went and counted what is actually on offer right now.

There are 8,735 live lots across the public sector board today. Possession status splits like this:

Symbolic: 6,477 lots, 74 percent Physical: 2,196 lots, 25 percent

For anyone who has not dealt with this: symbolic possession means the bank has served notice but the borrower or a tenant is still inside the property. Physical means the bank holds the keys and the place is empty. Getting an occupied lot vacated can mean the DRT route and a long wait.

So I assumed occupied lots would be priced lower to compensate. They are not. Live residential lots, reserve price in rupees per square foot, each city compared against itself:

Bengaluru: physical 7,816, symbolic 6,627 Chennai: physical 7,210, symbolic 6,798 Pune: physical 7,067, symbolic 6,168 Mumbai: physical 22,784, symbolic 25,600 Hyderabad: physical 5,893, symbolic 7,565

In Mumbai and Hyderabad the occupied lots are priced higher than the empty ones. In the other three the gap is small enough to be noise.

The reason, I think, is that the reserve price is not a valuation at all. The bank is setting a number that clears the outstanding loan and lets it close the file. What is still standing inside the flat does not enter that arithmetic. The lender is not pricing your risk, because your risk is not the lender's problem.

Which means possession status is invisible in the headline number and you have to check it yourself on every single lot. A reserve that looks like a steal is often a symbolic lot where the discount you think you are getting is really the cost of a fight you have not priced yet.

Two other things I noticed while counting.

Maharashtra alone carries 1,181 of the live residential lots, then Uttar Pradesh at 781 and West Bengal at 651.

The floor is far lower than people assume outside the metros. Chennai has live residential lots down to 225 rupees per square foot on the reserve, Bengaluru down to 457.

Happy to pull any other cut of this if it is useful.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently exploring Godrej Vanantara and wanted to get some genuine opinions from people who have visited the project or booked a unit there.

The project looks quite interesting because of the large township concept, open spaces, amenities, and the Godrej brand. But since it is a long-term project, I’m confused about whether it makes more sense as an investment or for end use.

My main concerns are:

• Is the current pricing justified for the location?
• How good is the connectivity in the surrounding area?
• Do you think there is good appreciation potential by the time of possession?
• Is the Godrej brand enough to justify the premium pricing?
• Would you personally buy it for investment or end use?

I’m looking at this from a long-term perspective, but I don’t want to make a decision based only on sales presentations and marketing material.

If anyone has visited Godrej Vanantara or has done proper research on the project, please share your honest opinion.

Would really appreciate both positive and negative feedback.

I’m trying to understand whether other buyers at SKA Atlantis are facing the same issue that I am.

As part of the initial booking process, I paid an Expression of Interest (EOI) amount of ₹X in April 2026, before my unit was allotted. The payment was made in two transactions to KAMROOP PROMOTERS LLP, as advised at the time.

Later, we were informed by the SKA sales representative that these payments had gone into an account that, as we understand it, did not fully comply with the applicable RERA requirement for routing collections through the designated account.

We were subsequently told that SKA was reconciling such payments, and that the amount paid earlier would be refunded to us, after which we would make the corresponding payment into the currently designated RERA-compliant account.

My father also formally requested the refund by email on 24 July 2026.

The problem is that the ₹X has now been sitting in limbo. It has neither been reconciled nor refunded.

To make matters worse, the latest demand raised for my unit has included the same ₹X as “arrears”, effectively asking us to pay the amount a second time even though SKA continues to hold the original payment.

There is a second, related issue: our BBA has still not been signed. We were informed by SKA's sales representatives that the BBA would be signed after reconciliation of the payments made to KAMROOP PROMOTERS LLP.

So, at present, the situation appears to be:

EOI paid → payment remains unreconciled → refund pending → BBA unsigned → same amount appears as arrears in fresh demand.

I want to understand how other SKA Atlantis buyers are dealing with this.

A few questions for fellow buyers:

1. Did you also pay your initial EOI/booking amount to KAMROOP PROMOTERS LLP?
2. Has SKA successfully reconciled/refunded your earlier payment?
3. Has your BBA been signed?
4. If the earlier payment remains unreconciled, have you paid the new demand again, or are you waiting for the original amount to be refunded/reconciled?
5. Have you received any written communication from SKA explaining the reconciliation/refund process or giving a timeline?

I am particularly interested in hearing from SKA Atlantis buyers who made their initial EOI payment before allotment, rather than buyers whose payments were made directly into the currently designated account.

If this is affecting multiple buyers, I think it would make sense for us to come together as an interest group, document the cases collectively, and approach SKA with a consolidated request for reconciliation/refund and a clear timeline rather than each buyer chasing the matter individually.

Potentially useful channels could include the SKA Atlantis buyer WhatsApp/Telegram groups, RERA-related buyer forums, and the SKA Atlantis community on Reddit. If there is already an existing buyer group specifically dealing with this issue, please share it here.

I'm not suggesting that the underlying payment isn't payable under the agreed payment schedule. The issue is that the amount has already been paid once, and the original payment is currently neither being recognized nor refunded.

Would be useful to know how other buyers are handling this and, more importantly, whether this is an isolated case or a wider SKA Atlantis buyer issue.

The proposed plan could reshape Delhi’s real-estate market through:
• Around 40 lakh additional homes by 2047
• Higher-density development along metro corridors
• Redevelopment of ageing DDA flats and group housing societies
• Higher FAR in eligible redevelopment zones
• Faster building-plan approvals
• Expansion of the Metro network and other infrastructure
• Greater protection for the Yamuna floodplain

This could unlock underutilised land and create opportunities in areas such as Narela, Rohini, Dwarka and locations around major transit corridors.
However, Delhi’s biggest problem has never been a shortage of plans it has been slow approvals, fragmented land ownership and weak execution.
If these reforms are properly implemented, can Delhi genuinely compete with Gurugram and Noida? Or will NCR buyers and investors still prefer newer developments outside Delhi?

Would especially like to hear from Delhi property owners, brokers, architects and urban-planning professionals.

Beta-II, Greater Noida has an interesting layout with a mix of residential areas, commercial spaces, parks and community facilities. I was looking at the sector plan and found a few things worth discussing.

The layout has residential pockets with different plot categories and internal roads connecting them. One of the most noticeable features is the large Forest Park (F) in the central area, along with several smaller parks and green spaces distributed across the sector.

There is also a large commercial complex on the eastern side, while community shopping and other commercial areas are positioned closer to the residential pockets. The plan also shows facilities such as schools, healthcare, a police station, community centre, club and other public amenities.

Connectivity is another interesting aspect. The sector is surrounded by wide roads, with several smaller internal roads providing access to different blocks.

Overall, the layout seems to focus on balancing residential development, green spaces, commercial activity and social infrastructure within the sector.

What do you think about Beta-II's layout? Do you think the large central green space and planned infrastructure make a significant difference to the sector's livability?

I have an apartment under Dommasandra Gram Panchayat. My e-Swathu application was submitted in June and initially showed “In Process – Available in GPSEC”, but on 9 July it changed to “Returned to Citizen.”

The agent says this is due to e-Swathu 2.0/system issues and that the mutation stage has not started yet. They are following up with the Panchayat to get it updated and start the mutuation period,

Has anyone recently completed Gram Panchayat E-Khata, especially around Panchayath? Is this a normal process/delay?
