Selling a property in New Delhi?

Sell it yourself
If you stay somewhat firm on your asking price, you can do better than you might do with a real estate agent. However, for all paperwork and the closing, bring in an advocate.

Be careful with promises
Don’t overcommit yourself. There are some things that you can take care of for the buyer, but others that you cannot. Be able to negotiate.

Set a fair price
Be realistic about your asking price — know what other comparable homes have sold for in your area. Factor in the location, age of the house, economic conditions and improvements you’ve made.

Choose the Right Real Estate in Delhi

No two people have the same take on the same real estate, but you can use guidelines to help determine whether a property is right for you.

  • Location, location, location: Before you buy real estate, make sure the community appeals to you. Consider proximity to schools, markets, and other amenities you find important. A good community and prime location can also help maximize the resale value of your real estate.
  • Lot size: While most buyers pay the most attention to the square footage of a house, lot size can also be an important factor when assessing the value of real estate.
  • House size: Look for a neighborhood where the homes are roughly equal in size and amenities. Nearby homes that are significantly smaller in size could bring down the resale value of your real estate.
  • Bedrooms and bathrooms: Three- and four-bedroom houses are usually the most popular. Look for houses with two or more bathrooms.
  • Kitchens: Buyers usually find larger, renovated kitchens with modern appliances more desirable. Kitchens that connect to a dining room offer convenience. Also look for easy back yard access if you enjoy entertaining outdoors.
  • Pools: Buy a home with a pool only for your own enjoyment—not as a real estate investment. Note that families with small children may view a swimming pool as a danger, which can reduce the number of potential homebuyers you attract if you decide to sell your real estate in the future.
  • Garages: If the property has a garage, make sure it is sized to fit your lifestyle and the neighborhood. Two-car garages tend to be more desirable than one-car garages.
  • Closets: Make sure you have plenty of closet space. Many find walk-in closets in the master bedroom desirable. You'll want spacious closets in the rest of the house and space for linens and towels.
