Is it good to buy property when the market is slow?

BrixResearch Moderator says: The number of property transactions may have dwindled but the market hasn’t comer to a halt as yet. Buyers are very careful of where they are putting their money. In fact property analysts have been telling buyers that this is the best time to buy property as the prices are very affordable. This goes with the assumption that when the markets get back in shape then these properties will shell out profits in terms of buy-back value or rentals.

Do you agree with this? Do you also believe that a slow market is the best opportunity?

Will freebies boost property sales?

BrixResearch Moderator says: Property builders have lined up a series of lucrative offers to boost sales. Some are offering free Mercedes or BMW, or at least a few gold coins to lure buyers. In some cases, even a small flat is being thrown into the deal for those eyeing premium segment bungalows.

Will these offers pull new buyers into the market? Do such marketing tactics work well in a stagnant market?

Have property transactions taken a dip?

BrixResearch Moderator says: Economic slowdown has impacted market and trade segments all over the world. First it was the share markets and now it is the job scenario.

Property segment has also witnessed a slowdown in this phase. Some are calling it ‘stagnation’, while others are describing it as ‘correction’ of the property market. Are fresh transactions still happening in the market? Have property deals deflated from their estimated mark?
