Finding Your Perfect Home on the Digital Space

It is very difficult when it comes to finding the right broker to buy that perfect home you’ve always dreamed of having. Trusting them with your hard earned money is the most difficult part. But you don’t need to worry anymore. Thanks to the age of technology, finding a property on the digital space has become very easy for both the customer as well as the real estate market.

The best part about technology is that even builders use the online space to put up their inventories. They tie up with popular real estate portals and add the option of booking online. Jaycee Homes is one such realtor that gives you the option to exclusively surf through the site and buy your property online.

Research of the property is the initial phase that is usually done online. Once the customer has selected the property that he/she likes, the actual transaction is done only after the property has been looked at physically. 

Purchasing a property online can be tricky but if you follow these simple steps I guarantee you that you will end up with the dream home you’ve always been looking for.

Cross-check the listing offline:

The main challenge of checking real estate online is that at times they offer fake and expired listings. Check the listing you see online multiple times with the builder who is offline and most importantly choose a site that gives verified listings.

Validity of deals:

There are numerous current projects in Mumbai that are unsold and developers try to boost the sales with different schemes and offers to attract customers. Even though the deal is profitable, ensure that there aren’t any loopholes because most developers try to trap you. The best option is to call up the builder’s office and verify the details of the property. So if, you are planning to buy a flat in Goregaon East or Andheri or Juhu, do your research properly and then take your final decision.

Intense Research:

Buying a property is the most crucial purchase of your life; it can be for a personal use or even as an investment. Either way, a lot of research and comparative study needs to be done as there is a huge amount involved in this transaction of your life. Reading up on the various real estate developments in the industry and suggestions by real estate consultants can take you a long way. There are various real estate forums where you can connect with consultants and clarify your queries. This could be very time consuming but worth the effort.  

Read through the fine print:


Make sure you know everything before making that transaction. Right from the booking amount, stamp duty and other taxes, time of possession, facilities provided to cancellation fees if any, online purchase of houses needs to be analyzed very minutely.

A Luxury Home in Mumbai in its True Sense

What exactly is a luxury home? In Mumbai there are several existing and upcoming projects that claim to provide a luxury home. Various property developers show luxury homes based on the amenities and ambiance to buyers. However, the geography and pin code of a place also plays a major role in defining a luxury home in Mumbai.

The locality surely enhances the entire experience. Developers take special efforts to create luxury apartments in prime locations of Mumbai like Juhu, Andheri, Goregaon and Santacruz in the western suburbs and Powai, Ghatkopar and Thane in the central parts of Mumbai. These areas are posh and well connected to the city. They are also filled with a plethora of lifestyle choices.

There are many modes of transportation that keep the commute swift and easy. For instance, the Mumbai local that runs across the city and Mumbai Metro that connects Andheri West to Ghatkopar makes commute quicker. The local transportation system is something that the city is found of. A luxury home close to these locales can be truly luxurious. The western suburbs also have the Western Express Highway and Link Road that connects the entire stretch, while the central regions of the city are blessed with the Eastern Freeway. 

Luxury homes by Jaycee Homes are located in secure and popular areas of the city that totally suit your lifestyle demands. The flats come complete with spacious layouts, top-notch safety systems, ample parking space and mind blowing amenities. All of this in a prime location just of the city just makes life so much easier and luxurious. Why settle for less when you can have the best luxury homes in the city. Flats in Andheri, Juhu, Santacruz, Ghatkopar, Goregaon and Powai are crowd pleasers. The residential complexes in these areas are also closer to good schools, hospitals, movie theatres and shopping malls. If you plan on buying a property in one these areas then you are sure to provide a better lifestyle to your family.

A lot also depends on the occupant profile of the apartments. For example, some developers have a well-tailored occupancy profile, which helps them give apartments to people who fit the criteria completely to own one of the flats in that particular society.

Another factor that makes flats in Mumbai a luxury property is whether the right size meets the right price. Any home buyer would love to splurge in a well-designed and totally facilitated flat. However, true luxury can be enjoyed only  when the sprawling area, contemporary modular kitchen settings and French windows fall in the right price bracket. Value for money is an essential factor while investing in a luxury home for any home buyer.


All of these aspects make a luxury home luxurious in the true sense.

Why invest In Mumbai?

Real estate in Mumbai is always a hot topic! Whether it is to discuss the incredible soaring prices of property, to lament the high rent and deposit amounts, or discover the newest investment opportunities, this mega metropolis is always under the radar of the real estate sector.

Despite the high realty prices that the city is famed for, there are ample opportunities for investment in the coming years. Not surprisingly, the list of favourable areas for investment in the city mostly features suburban localities. However, owing to city-wide redevelopment schemes, there are now more opportunities to invest in the traditionally expensive parts of the city as well.

Here are reasons why you should consider buying or investing in properties in Mumbai:

1) High ROI in the near future

Mumbai features at the top in the list of favourable investment destinations in the country, because of the scope for high ROI many of its localities offer. Areas like Goregaon (East), Chembur East, Vile Parle (East) & Bandra (East) have seen around 20% ROI in the last financial year. Thane and Navi Mumbai are also popular with investors looking for affordable investment options, with the promise of high returns.

2) City-wide Infrastructure Initiatives

Wadala is a prime example of a locality in which growth of real estate is being driven primarily by multiple infrastructure projects, mainly the Chembur-Wadala monorail, and the Eastern Freeway. Due to its proximity to the Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC), and fast and easy connectivity to other commercial areas in the city, the prices of property in Wadala have almost doubled in the last 3 years.
Some of the other affordable areas poised to become profitable due to much-needed infrastructure initiatives are Chembur, Mulund, and Ghodbunder Road in Thane.

3) Redevelopment schemes leading to affordable housing

With an increase in demand in residential property, but low land supply, developers are increasingly undertaking redevelopment projects. This is most evident in Bandra East. While property in Bandra West has always been in great demand because of the elite lifestyle, great connectivity and social infrastructure it offers, it now suffers from traffic congestion, and low supply of land. The large population that works in the BKC demands residences that are not more than a half an hour’s travel away; and Bandra East is where it’s flocking to now.

Thus you see, flats in Goregaon East, Andheri, Juhu and Wadala are the safest bets for you to purchase a house if you are planning to struggle to be a part of the glamorous industry.

Buying a residential property in Mumbai is absolutely worth it, irrespective of which area you choose. Just ensure it provides all the amenities that one needs to live a relaxed life.
