Real Estate Myths Buyers Still Believe in 2025
Even in 2025, with abundant digital information and expert content available, many homebuyers continue to base their decisions on outdated or incorrect assumptions. These myths often delay decisions, increase costs, or cause buyers to miss out on strong investment opportunities. Understanding the truth behind these beliefs helps buyers approach the market more confidently.
Myth 1: New Projects Are Always More Expensive
The Truth:
Under-construction projects frequently offer early-launch pricing, flexible payment options, and better appreciation potential. In many locations, buyers secure lower cost-per-square-foot rates when purchasing at the launch stage compared to ready homes.
Myth 2: Resale Flats Have Hidden Problems
The Truth:
Resale flats often come with larger carpet areas, strong society infrastructure, and established neighbourhoods. With proper document checks and inspections, resale properties can offer excellent long-term value.
Myth 3: Location Doesn’t Matter Because Connectivity Is Improving Everywhere
The Truth:
Location remains one of the biggest factors influencing long-term appreciation. Homes near high-growth zones, metro stations, airports, commercial parks, and schools significantly outperform others over time.
Myth 4: Big Developers Always Deliver Better Quality
The Truth:
Many boutique developers deliver exceptional design, layouts, and finishes. Quality depends on execution, not size. Reviewing past projects, checking RERA compliance, and conducting site visits provide a clearer picture.
Myth 5: Buying Is Always Better Than Renting
The Truth:
Renting may be more practical in premium markets or when financial flexibility is needed. The decision should align with lifestyle, long-term stability, and market conditions.
