Saurabh Garg, co-founder and chief business officer, No broker.com, speaking to the Free Press Journal commented, "It is a positive move. Also, the prices of properties are stagnant for the last few years and the interest rates on home loans are low now, which are the driving factors for home buying trends in the market in 2020. Also, a large percentage of people are interested to buy a ready to move in property. Eventually, when a home buyer makes a decision, they reach the online media for their search. An online real estate portal gives a lot of options and the buyer can filter their requirement accordingly." In Bangalore properties are available for rent in salarpuria sattva eastcrest.
Explaining this he stated that, for instance, if a buyer wishes to buy a property in Bandra, he can just filter the desired location, select the price range and he will see a range of properties, which might not be the case when he physically hunts for a property. Also, the broker would only prefer to show those properties in which he might have a profit share. In such cases, the home buyer will have selective houses to choose from. This will be prevented while looking for a propertyonline. Besides this, the report has also found that good water supply and proximity to public transport are the most important factors while buying a house. About 83 per cent of people considered water as the most important need and about 59 per cent of people replied that public transport is a major factor while buying a house. Similarly, 58 per cent of people have cited the availability of car parking as one of the key factors when looking foraccommodation.
