posted on 7 MayFirst home search in Noida Extension — feeling overwhelmed
₹85 lakh for a 2BHK in Sector 12, Noida Extension, is what Evermark Realtors quoted. Honestly, ab samajh nahi aa raha kahan se shuru karoon. This is my first home purchase. How do you even shortlist properties? Kya dekhna chahiye pehle? Any red flags I should know about when starting out?

It's a tough market for first-time buyers, no doubt. The prices in Noida Extension have shot up significantly in the last year. My suggestion would be to look at the total cost, not just the base price. Builders add so many hidden charges: PLC, floor rise, club membership, maintenance advance, parking, IFMS. These can easily add another 8-10 lakhs. So, that 85 lakh could easily become 95 lakh+. Get a full breakup in writing before you even think about shortlisting.
My advice for shortlisting: first, fix your budget, then location preference. After that, look for builders with a proven track record of delivering projects on time, even if it means paying a little extra. I made the mistake of going for a cheaper option in Alpha II Greater Noida and faced constant delays. Visit at least 5-6 projects physically, talk to existing residents if possible. Don't just rely on brochures. Check the amenities promised vs. delivered. Also, connectivity to your workplace is key, don't underestimate daily commute stress.
85 lakh for a 2BHK is definitely on the higher side for Sector 12, even with the recent market appreciation in Noida Extension. You need to check the exact RERA carpet area and compare the per sqft rate. Also, most importantly, RERA completion date kya hai is project ki? Delays are a huge red flag these days.
Haan bhai, RERA date is non-negotiable. Builders bahut ghumate hain.
U3 is right. RERA portal pe jaake project ka registration number daalo. Wahan saari details mil jaayengi, including the original and revised completion dates. Agar project ka registration nahi hai, toh seedha avoid karo. Usually, 2BHKs in Noida Extension are still more in the 65-75L range for good, reputed builders, unless it's a premium tower.
Exactly! RERA completion date is crucial. Builders often show you a 'soft possession' date, which is usually a year or two before the actual RERA date. Then they keep extending it. My cousin faced this with a project near Alistonia Estate, got possession 2 years late. Always check the RERA portal for the official date, not just what the builder tells you.
Oh my god, I totally get you! I'm also a first-time buyer and the whole process feels like a maze. Every other day, prices change, and every agent has a different story. I've been looking in Alpha I Greater Noida and even there, a decent 2BHK is touching ₹90 lakh. It's so overwhelming trying to figure out what's a fair price and what's just a sales pitch. My biggest fear is getting stuck with a bad builder or a property that loses value.
₹85 lakh for a 2BHK in Sector 12, Noida Extension? Bhai, yeh toh bahut zyada lag raha hai. I was quoted around ₹70-75 lakh for similar configurations just a few months ago in nearby areas like Ajayabpur. Evermark Realtors ka track record kaisa hai? Pehle inka naam nahi suna.
Haan, Evermark ka naam sunke thoda doubt toh hota hai. But which specific project are they quoting for? Sometimes new projects under an older builder can have better management. Pura project ka naam poochho aur online reviews check karo.
Sahi keh rahe ho U1. Evermark ka track record utna accha nahi hai, especially for timely possession. Mere ek friend ne inke project mein invest kiya tha 3 saal pehle, abhi tak possession nahi mila hai. Be careful with such builders, especially if it's your first home.
