Here are few key factors why people are presently feeling encouraged to invest in a home in Mumbai.

Home Loan Rates
The marginal costs of fund based lending rates (MCLR) have allowed banks to offer cheaper rates of interest for home loans. The descend in MCLRs will present borrowers from the base rate systems to the new MCLR mechanism. This will bring the EMI down with MCLR in play. Thus people are finding buying a first home and even investing in a one feasible. 

MahaRERA Act
With MahaRERA strictly being implemented in the state and the projects and agents already registered under it, the people are finally finding hope to buying their first home. People are really welcoming the change and expecting things will change for the real estate market. Builders will become more transparent; will provide a credible market for home buyers, no more property delays and the Benami Property Act will enable correction of property prices. 

GST
The under-construction properties are taxed under GST at 12 percent. This has greatly reduced the incidences for double taxation. Also, ready-to-move-in properties do not fall under the ambit of GST. Thus many customers right now prefer to buy such home because it does not include any waiting period.
