Kolte Patil R17A premium isn't worth it

It's a tough call for sure. The current market conditions in Pune are also a bit volatile. I think it boils down to what you prioritize: a slightly lower upfront cost with a huge uncertainty on delivery and future value, or paying more for a potentially smoother experience. No easy answers for first-time buyers, seems like everyone's facing this dilemma.

Honestly, the premium for Kolte Patil R17A might seem high now, but sometimes you pay for peace of mind and a better chance of timely possession. I've seen smaller builders like the ones behind Kumar Parv struggle with funds and project completion, leading to massive delays and mental stress. My cousin had a nightmare with a project near Akurdi, builder just kept extending dates. So, trust in the builder's track record is paramount, not just the initial price.

I'm looking for something in the ₹96 L – ₹1.4 Cr range too, maybe around Sinhagad Road. But with these builders, it feels like either you pay a huge premium or wait forever. Are there any other projects or builders that strike a better balance for first-time buyers?

Dekho, Kolte Patil ka quality aur delivery record Kumar Parv se generally better hai, that's why the premium. But R17A ka price point is really high, even for them. On the other hand, Kumar Parv ka RERA number P52100056164 toh hai, which is good, but 115 units with such a far possession date in 2031 means they have a lot of time to play with. My friend booked in Amanora Park Town a few years back, and even established builders struggle with timelines.

Yaar, I've been looking at Kolte Patil R17A and the premium just feels too much. Is it really justified for long-term appreciation? Kumar Parv A B C D And E seems more budget-friendly, but that possession date of 2031-12-01 is scaring me. What's the ground reality on builder trust for both?
