My husband and I found our dream home!

I spent the most crucial 10 years of my childhood in the beautiful valley city of Dehradun and have known the place as my second home from a very young age. So, when it was time for me to select a city to settle down, I chose Dehradun in an instant. My husband and I have jobs that allow us to work remotely and this gave us an opportunity to live just about anywhere in the country. Since we are looking to grow our family, we wanted to settle down in a city that would give us the peace and greenery we crave while offering us the development and modern facilities that we need in order to lead fulfilling lives.  We decided to rent a fully furnished flat/apartment in Dehradun for the first 6 months of your stay. This saved us the hassle of moving our furniture from our previous house to this place and then to our new home. We also wanted

I wish I could purchase my dream home right now

  I often think about my dream home. I think that when I will have enough savings or a good enough income to be able to afford a good home loan, I will purchase a great house and turn it into a beautiful home as and when I can in time. I would maybe want to invest in a property in Dehradun or Pune. Hyderabad seems like a good option too. I consider Dehradun because I have lived in the city for ten years and know how peaceful, less crowded and beautiful it is. I also know how affordable residential properties in Dehradun are as compared to the ones in metropolitan cities like New Delhi and Mumbai. In the price that one can purchase a 2 BHK in a decent society in New Delhi, one can purchase a luxurious 3 BHK in a gated community in Dehradun. Lately, I have been hearing a lot about a new housing project on Sahastradhara Road in Dehradun. The project, Pacific Golf Estate , is a lavish upscale residential gated community that is spread over an area of 35 acres in the middle of breathta

  These days, newspapers are filled with several irresistible advertisements for House in Dehradun for sale . In the past few years, Dehradun has become Mecca for real estate investors.   But before we put all our savings into a property, we need to consider a few crucial things. Here are some of the important concerns and queries for the people who are about to invest in properties:   Apartment Vs Land Whether you buy a piece of land and then build a house on it or you just buy an apartment with enough rooms for comfortable living.

Future Vacation Home

  My husband wishes to invest in a residential property and he and I have been looking at all the Apartments on sale in Dehradun , Haridwar and Rishikesh. We plan on making the property a vacation home where we can stay for a month or two every year to escape from the fast-paced metropolitan city life of New Delhi. We have been planning to invest in a 3 BHK where we can invite both sets of our parents to vacation with us, as and when time permits. The actual long-term idea is to have enough rooms so that our children and we have enough privacy when we visit in the future. We would like to have an apartment in a gated society where amenities for outdoor activities are provided. We would like to have a lawn tennis court and a swimming pool on the property as both of us like to indulge in these two activities on our day off. Up till now, we have looked at around 10 properties and have picked three that we like. One of the three properties has all the amenities we are looking for along
