Sattva Lake Ridge — I'm seriously stressing about the high investor ratio here. Builder ke past projects mein bhi delays the, toh time pe possession milega kya? Already have a home loan for my 2BHK, planning a 3BHK upgrade, but can't afford another EMI if it's a ghost society. Is the investor ratio really that high? Kisi ko actual site se updates hain ya builder ne koi firm commitment di hai for a liveable community? Kya karein?

What's the current market sentiment in Hyderabad for upcoming projects like this? Is it still as hot as it was, or are things cooling down a bit? That might affect how many end-users vs. investors are actually buying.
U4, the Hyderabad market is still strong, but it's definitely more selective now. The IT slowdown has affected end-user demand for *new* launches, especially for projects with a 2028 possession. So, to keep sales momentum, builders often rely on investors. Areas like Ameerpet and Attapur have seen a lot of investor activity recently because they anticipate future growth. It's a cycle – investors buy, hoping end-users will pick it up later at a higher price. But if demand doesn't catch up, you get a ghost society problem.
Hold on, guys. Is this 'high investor ratio' actual data ya bas hearsay? Har naye project mein investors toh hote hi hain. The total units are 897, which is quite a lot. Unless someone has solid proof or RERA data showing majority bookings by non-occupants, I'd say we need to be careful not to spread panic. Sometimes, good projects also get labelled due to market sentiment.
True, not all investors are bad. But *too many* is a problem for liveability. Especially for a family.
U3, official RERA data won't explicitly show 'investor ratio', but it's an open secret in the market. Brokers themselves tell you. For projects like Sattva Lake Ridge, which is 'UPCOMING' and has 897 units, a significant chunk often goes to bulk buyers or investors in the initial phase. They buy low, hoping to sell high closer to possession. It's a gamble for them, and for end-users, it means a potentially empty community.
Totally agree with U1. This builder ka track record bahut poor hai. My friend booked in one of their earlier projects near Begumpet, and it was delayed by almost two years. He had to pay rent and EMI simultaneously. For a first-time buyer like us, this is a huge financial strain.

Sahi pakde ho! Builder ka naam sunke hi darr lagta hai. Ghost society ka risk toh bahut real hai.
Bhai, your fears are totally valid. Sattva ka track record for possession is... well, not the best. And for an 'UPCOMING' project with a 2028-01-01 possession date, that's still quite far. Plenty of time for things to go sideways, especially if it's mostly investors who don't care about immediate occupancy. You're right to be worried about another EMI for a ghost town.
