My Gurugram 3BHK hunt: Are 'spot discounts' just a scam?

My hunt for a bigger 3BHK in Gurugram has been going on for months, and honestly, I'm fed up. Everyone talks about 'spot discounts' but nobody tells you how much of that is just inflated pricing. Brokers push projects like M3M on Dwarka Expressway, promising 'best deals'. But are these discounts real, ya bas builder ka marketing gimmick hai? My wife says Sector 14 is better for kids' schools, but wahan koi discount nahi mil raha. Should I trust these spot discounts, or is it better to negotiate hard on the base price? Change my mind.
