After a year of major upheaval, following the implementation of policies like the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act and the Goods and Services Tax (GST), among others, 2018 has been dubbed by many as the turnaround year for the real estate sector. The beginning of the festive season, hence, can not only be an opportune time for home buyers who are looking to return to the market but also for real estate developers, to re-establish their credentials in this changed environment.
In this backdrop, leading online real estate platform, Housing.com has announced its annual home buying festival, ‘Home Utsav 2018’, with exciting offers and new product features.
