In between Apartment Floors

A very interesting thought usually when purchasing an apartment in Goa is which floor you want your dwelling to be. Top of the world view or close to the ground easy access or a simple in between choice with a mix of both.

Living on the top floor has numerous advantages such as lesser pests invading the home, cleaner air, brilliant view and possibly even a penthouse duplex. But there are definitely things one should consider while purchasing an apartment at such a height like the elevator going out of commission for a brief period.

An apartment at the lower floors of course is less thrilling to live down there as compared to the top floors so it makes for a suitable choice for the faint of heart. You could use the staircase as a means of daily exercise to keep shape. But there are also some troublesome aspects to owning a home in the lower floors as you are easily victim to any noise pollution that may disturb the neighborhood. 

Buying your new flat is a big decision so an informed choice taking into account such factors is very important.

Living today is much more than just existing, people are starting to recognize the importance of living a quality lifestyle in a clean and healthy environment. But such a life comes at a pretty cost too. Green Homes are quite the homes to live in but the construction is costlier than regular homes. The cost is about 15% more than normal and the extra costs makes home builders hesitant to construct such homes. They aren't wrong either, with property prices already hiking up in Goa, home buyers are trying to find the cheaper alternative.

Although whats missed out in this cost cutting is the long term costs of owning a green apartment or a green home. The costs of maintenance and service is more affordable than in a regular home. Not just the cost but health benefits also helps cut down the numerous visits to clinics for health reasons. 

All in all, green homes be it Apartments or villas are the best options today for a better life and comfort tomorrow.

Ready to Buy your first home?

Buying your first home is quite the exciting prospect, but are you ready to buy your first apartment in Goa? Read the points below and see for yourself.

Apartments in Goa

Budget:   If you have a your financial affairs settled and can chalk up a budget that leaves you comfortably financed for a day to day life even after making a home purchase (Loan or Full Payment), then you have definitely crossed your first check mark for readiness to purchase a home. Keep in mind that once a property is purchased there are small things such as decoration, interiors and other matters that require additional finances. Take account of these finances while working on your budget.

Down payment:  Home purchases involve a down payment of normally 20-25% of the property value. It’s your second hurdle and arranging it is definitely your most important action. When you go around arranging this amount, keep in mind there are other expenses such as taxes, moving expenses etc that usually come along with this.

Reliable source of Income: If you have a shaky job or living paycheck to paycheck without much savings, you need to reconsider your stance for property purchase. While purchasing a property it’s advisable to possess finances to support yourself for at least a couple of months.

Long term commitment:  Buying a home is a large investment decision. So be prepared to be locked into that decision till the term is over.  Pulling your hand out early could cost you a lot. Go in for it only if you can make the commitment for the years you are putting in.

Buying your first home is a big decision, so don't rush it. Make sure you can before you go ahead with the big decision.

Affordable Retirement Homes

In recent years, retirement homes can be looked on as quite the investment avenue. But these homes are not the usual centers with facilities one would expect in a typical bollywood flick but a proper home for senior citizens.

The senior citizens of India form a large chunk of both the economy and the society. A size large enough that is not only noticed but considered as an investment avenue. 

The immense potential of this segment, with its unique needs and promises, offers an array of opportunities to the Indian real estate market. The reason is quite simple as they are no longer looked on as weak, financially dependent and quiet members of the society rather a population with significant needs and considerable spending power post retirement.

In response for this there is a small growth spurt in construction where special projects are undertaken with services and facilities. Such projects allow for a comfortable retirement of the aged members of the society and ensure a full range of specialized service and facilities for their benefit and health.

There are at least 2 such projects for senior citizens that have apartments in Goa for sale. These properties are classified as affordable and are favorably located in convenient locations for easy access and living.

Now comes the most important aspect, affordability. Everyone likes the house, the surrounding and the ambience, but the price is usually the mood swinger or deal breaker. Good news is that it still is by Adwalpalkar Constructions, meaning that the property is definitely priced lower than what the average price is running in the area. 

So hurrying up and booking the slots while the property is still available, is probably in your best interests.

Why do we need affordable Homes especially Apartments

As we see a massive increase in the population, there is and will always be a huge demand for affordable Apartments for sale in Goa. We also understand that most people prefer moving out of their ancestral homes to start a new family with their spouses and kids. Its a true story in Goa that most parents prefer the groom to own a house and a car. Its not difficult to own a car but what about a house or an Apartment in Goa ?

Affordable Eco Friendly Apartments 

Average income earned by a professional self employed or an employee is around 25 to 35 thousand a month. that's quite low and such people do not even qualify to get a loan of even 10 lacs. A normal 1 Bedroom Apartment for sale in Goa is around 20 lacs so you would need to have an income of at least 50 thousand per month. I believe only 20% or perhaps less than that people earn in Goa.

The government needs to realize these figures and need to make appropriate provisions and certain amendments to land development laws. one of them is increasing the FAR of certain selected places (Floor Area Ratio) to 150% and call it Special Residential Zone (SRZ). Places centrally located between two cities and having an industrial area nearby would be ideal.

These SRZ zones will have only Apartments and Flats with all basic facilities and amenities. Construction in these areas should be sustainable and completely practical.

SRZ zones should be well connected to the highways. All roads should be well connected. Footpaths and walkways should be implemented throughout and people should be restricted to own a certain number of vehicles.

The Green aspect should be well protected and taken care of. Planting more trees than the amount of trees cut. Having vertical gardens in all complexes and also terrace gardens on each building. Water harvesting methods and filtering water that has been used. in short- restoring nature especially the flora.

Increasing the FAR and using basic construction material will automatically get cost of the Apartment in Down. Only then an average Goan will afford to Buy an Apartment in Goa or Buy a Flat in Goa.
