As India embraces the festive season, a potent mix of policy relief, cultural mood, and the evergreen allure of Goa is fueling renewed enthusiasm in the holiday‑home segment. Leading developers like Axis Ecorp are well-placed to ride this wave with their visionary offerings that include luxury villas, studio apartments, and innovative ownership models. All these offering are in line with what the young aspirational homebuyers are looking for and are designed to deliver both lifestyle and yield.

GST Reforms: Lowering Costs, Raising Spirits

The government's recent GST reforms, especially the reduction on cement and construction materials are a game changer for real estate. The GST rate on cement has dropped from 28% to 18%, lighting up optimism across the sector.

Adding to this, proposals to consolidate GST into 5% and 18% slabs (with a possible 40% for high-end luxury goods) are expected to deliver substantial cost-savings for mainstream housing. Given the cost saving, most people might be looking at making the most of this opportunity and focus on asset building. The cuts will result in increasing the disposable income of the people and they might look at investing in a timeless asset such as real estate. 

Festive Fervor Fuels Buyer Demand

In India, festivals aren’t just cultural milestones but also prime occasions for big-ticket purchases. Historically, a staggering 30–40% of annual real estate sales happen during the festive quarter as buyers. A lot of people hold off buying something big all year so that they can do it during the auspicious days. This trend is also seen among especially NRIs that get active during the festive times. It could be because most of them visit India during this time, or they like to make most of the offers that are during the time. And it could also be that they are even looking for a propitious timing, given that it is a big-ticket purchase. 

Moreover, with favorable interest rates and attractive schemes, the housing market gains extra momentum during festive periods,

For holiday homes, particularly in destinations like Goa, the festive season aligns consumer sentiment with demand, as potential buyers envision owning a serene getaway that doubles up as a rental property during peak travel seasons.

Goa: The Evergreen Holiday‑Home Playground

Goa’s appeal is timeless! Its pristine beaches, tourism-driven ROI, and a lifestyle unmatched elsewhere in India. It consistently makes headlines as a booming hub for second homes and vacation rentals.
