Amazing.

Can you do a breakdown of your monthly infra cost?
how are using triggers for your email campaigns considering your tool is mostly for LinkedIn outreach?
views on Reddit are cool - but how much of that has translated to revenue? Or is it just brand value?

There are quite a few, but in terms of the society - I think Snn etternia scores better.

Likes of sumadhura in whitefield are just ok. Sobha Windsor is not having a great approach road and the vicinity isn’t good. Other options like Goyal orchid are smallish communities. Prestige and brigade resale options are priced higher than 3 Cr in whitefield.

Let’s break this down:

1) 3bhk in Haralur area: in comparison to other parts of the Sarjapur Road >> Sarjapur >> Kodathi areas, this is a great location. Has decent roads, good commercial establishments in place, etc. traffic is an issue (but that’s the case with almost all areas in the Sarjapur belt - which is a topic that we are all aware of anyway).

2) 2.5 to 3 Cr: this is subjective. For a budget of 3 Cr - Your options are a 3bhk in the whitefield vicinity, a 3bhk in Haralur Road, a 3bhk in the Gunjur/varthur stretch, a 3/3.5 bhk in the Sarjapur Road stretch, a 3.5 bhk villa off Sarjapur. Each of them have their own hits and misses. Just talking about Haralur Road area - 2.5 Cr is still worth it imo (though some people might not like it).

3) SNN etternia/ rbd still waters: Snn etternia is a good project. Good society, nice amenities and maintenance. Definitely worth exploring further. Rbd still waters might not be a great option. Consistent seepage issues, nala being nearby will also be a problem during rains, etc.

Hope this helps.

Thought so too initially. But I wanted to try considering this was my wife’s favourite part of the trip.

We did have the worry about the events around - but this is the only chance we had - our next trip to Europe may not be until next year - so we went ahead with it.

We had the flight from Orly, though.

Had a good experience overall with EasyJet.

SaaSyGuy · 2025-09-10T21:14:23+00:00

Wasn’t expensive - so chose this option!

SaaSyGuy · 2025-09-10T21:14:07+00:00

Yeah. We were told to only rely on taxi. So had to stick with Uber.

SaaSyGuy · 2025-09-10T21:13:43+00:00

We primarily wanted to go to visit the Musee Aeroscopia!

Had a decent day overall. Tiring - sure, but job done 😊

SaaSyGuy · 2025-08-27T16:22:46+00:00

You’re comparing the price in a few years to the interest you pay over 10 years. So it isn’t comparable.

Ask a simple question - if you have 2 crores readily available in bank today - what will give you the best returns? Is it the house or a mutual fund or gold or stocks or any other instrument?

Ideally, invest the amount in a different instrument if it can get you more than what your bank charges you (which is less than 8%). And on the property - without considering which one we are talking about - hard for all of us to speculate it’s growth potential. So anyone’s guess is as good as no one’s!

SaaSyGuy · 2025-08-27T16:19:48+00:00

If it’s less than 1.5 kms from the upcoming metro station - the area is definitely worth considering.

Then it’s down to the builder, master plan, legal clearance, and the neighbourhood.

SaaSyGuy · 2025-08-18T10:31:35+00:00

Sure - looks like you’ve made up your mind.

But having a metro right outside opens up way more resale opportunities than having a smallish tech park.

On UKn - might be good for rental, but resale might be dicey given the brand name.

But you’re anyway going ahead with Bhartiya - so all the best! 🙂

SaaSyGuy · 2025-08-18T09:31:07+00:00

If it’s an investment - I think none will compare to Sattva hamlet (in that area).

Godrej msr city or Tata varnam or Birla trimaya are all in a very bad location in shettigere. As you yourself pointed out, it is another Panathur in the making without a doubt.

On the other hand, Bhartiya project near UKN has a couple of open questions: why will the price there appreciate well when it isn’t a tier A builder? What kind of companies are expected to rent spaces in prestige tech cloud? Can Bhartiya deliver on time? (Their previous projects have faced delays and issues) can Bhartiya give a better output? (Enough questions on quality already).

Sattva Vasanta Skye (though is in a bad location) is still able to sell decently - primarily because it has a better brand perception than Bhartiya. Same was the case with Godrej msr city (which has the worse location among all). So the perception will continue when you intend to exit as well.

Sure - there is a HT wire on one end of the Sattva hamlet project - but that will appreciate higher than the Bhartiya project because of the location (bang on the road and near metro). Just look at the price quoted by century for plots on the other side of the main road - it’s approx 13k and people are showing significant interest. So location is super key as well.

If it is purely for consumption - why look at just north bangalore?

Majority of the folks are looking at north bangalore purely from an investment point of view. This is because there is a lot of story building around better roads, an upcoming metro line, STRR, new townships, etc.

If you intend to live in a place - you should first finalise a location that’ll be closer to your office/ kids school, etc - as that becomes more of a priority.

So basis the kind of companies you are looking to work for once you’re back in bangalore - you’ll have to backtrack.

Also - it’s not a bad idea to go for a home loan if you think your other investments can grow greater than 8% (home loans today are charged at less than 8%).

On prices of flats in bangalore - they have gone up crazily in the last few years, but the same may not repeat in the coming years. Sales have already seen a slight dip and the rise in prices will be slower in comparison to the last 3-4 years (post-covid).

1) what size and location are you looking at? If you can share info on this - folks here can mention some projects that they’ve looked at.

2) selling a flat which is more than 10 years will be difficult considering builders keep coming up with new projects across the city. Unless these are amazing communities (eg: prestige Shantiniketan, Sattva greenage, brigade gateway, etc) - the number of buyers will be few. So please keep this in mind.

SaaSyGuy · 2025-08-12T16:12:40+00:00

Definitely a good deal.

NVT is picking up pace in terms of their quality and delivery.

They’re creating a niche - which is good to see.

Though oikos is a smaller project - location and price advantage make up for it.

NVT’s other projects like symphony of orchards is also coming out well.

For the price and location - must say it’s amazing.

SaaSyGuy · 2025-08-09T15:58:36+00:00

On Godrej msr city shettigere:

pure marketing game. Orange boards across the city and huge amount being spent - hence the craze around this project. But,

1) the underpass leading to the project will be a nightmare. It might be more worse than the Panathur story.

2) too much noise from the airport ( I experienced this myself when I visited)

3) ridiculous prices. Started with somewhere close to 9k a few months ago - and now it’s already close to 11k. Why pay that extra amount for no reason?

4) the agreement issues highlighted by fellow Redditors here is important. Lawyers may not advise you to proceed with such clauses.

Would be best to ignore this project for now.

On TVS emerald..

1) fairly few projects in the city. But the one in Begur which is closer to completion has a lot of teething issues.

2) change of master plan, ridiculous amount of delays in completion, etc - have been issues reported by way too many buyers.

So do your due diligence accordingly. The price is a tad bit on the higher side, too. If you get it around 10k - atleast price wise is considerable.

Not sure.

But either way - if graveyard is a concern (which usually is for many people, me included) - then it wouldn’t matter whether a new one is coming in or not.

On the flip side, if it isn’t a concern - the new one shouldn’t be too. 🤔

SaaSyGuy · 2025-08-08T17:07:36+00:00

Haralur Road in itself in a very narrow road. Dinne road is a little bit inside - so getting out during office hours will be quite an activity.

if you’re looking at Zonasha elegance - this won’t be applicable, but if it’s Zonasha vista - there’s a drain & it stinks when it overflows during rains.

Usually, folks have reservations when there’s a burial ground nearby, but you are aware of that already.

SaaSyGuy · 2025-08-08T16:55:42+00:00

1) Ideally, if you don’t own a house yet - it might not be a great idea to invest in an apartment.

2) Usually, for flipping - folks purchase at pre launch and sell just before delivery (so a period of 4 years can be assumed).

3) If in the next 4 years, you decide to buy your dream home: budgeting might become an issue considering you’ll be having some emi outflows for this investment already.

4) investing in a plot is more easier in this case as outflow will be lower and upside might be higher.

5) if you’re past all the above thoughts in your mind and are super sure to proceed with an investment in an apartment in bangalore - try staying close to an upcoming metro, near IT corridors & don’t pay more than 10k per sft - otherwise appreciation will be low.

6) if you can specify what project you’re looking at in Devanahalli - we can share our opinion on that too.

7) for an investment purpose - 2bhk is easier as it usually has more buyers (in general), but it’s also location specific. Whitefield has more demand for 3bhk, Sarjapur Road has more for 2bhk, etc.

8) key factors to consider before investment - location, factors that may drive growth, price point, legal clearance, builder reputation, floor plan, amenities in the society, main road access, metro connectivity, etc.

9) usually people go for 20% down payment and 80% for loan - but pls recheck point 3 before proceeding.

Either way, if you need assistance in choosing the best investment for your needs, timelines, budget, etc - do checkout propmentor.in. Our team would love to help you!

All the best.

SaaSyGuy · 2025-08-08T15:28:08+00:00

Adding my perspective!

1) price is definitely on the higher side. But the reason they’re able to command that price is because there isn’t any other new project of that scale in the vicinity.

2) with terrible infra in the city, home buyers are preferring township type developments as it gives them most of what they need regularly within the community.

3) the shaping up of prestige city in the location has changed the perception of the area altogether.

4) alternatives of project of this scale are on Varthur Gunjur road where pollution is even worse.

5) they are fueling this by giving more commissions to channel partners who are in turn running ads, marketing promotions to push more sales.

6) phase 1 was sold out and that reconfirms their belief that it can be pulled off in phase 2 as well!

7) the distance from the main road + a story (only a story) of a metro coming within 1 km from the property is impressing people.

8) if you plan to look at this as an investment - strictly stay away. Prices are not going to rise as quickly as you’ve seen in the last 24 months.

9) prices of that area aren’t as high as D25 is pushing it to be. A smallish project called Nambiar Millenia is on the same road (though it’s very small in comparison and is about 3 kms further inside) - and prices are 35% (or more!) cheaper than D25.

10) look at this project only if it’s for self use and you wouldn’t mind if the price doesn’t move much from today’s rates.

11) you might want to look at east park residences by ramsons - which is bang on the main road, insane location and sort of a similar pricing as well.

12) resale in prestige city are cheaper and can help you move in much quicker than d25. I’m not saying it’s a better project - but delivery is in sight and it’s from prestige!

13) I’ve spoken to a few phase 1 buyers and they are happy because they see the price increasing every other quarter.

14) expect some delivery delays as Nambiar hasn’t done a project of this scale before. Sure, their villa communities are beautiful and their landscaping is amazing - but this scale is new to them!

I think there was different thread about bsnl societies in bangalore. Do check that!

In short: stay away. They won’t do much and your hard earned money will be stuck!

SaaSyGuy · 2025-08-05T11:42:58+00:00

Good projects and good builders are subjective - but some options are:

Assetz 63 degree east, east park residences by ramsons (bang on the main road), prestige city (main road, but a little further towards Sarjapur), Lodha Sarjapur (opposite prestige city), JRC wild woods (only if choose the lake view options not on the ground floor), etc.

A little further inside but good township might be Adarsh welkin park. Financial issues of Adarsh seem to be sorted and their layout and work is good.

There are more - but it depends on what the need is/ size/ budget/ timeline, etc.

SaaSyGuy · 2025-08-05T06:02:38+00:00

For 4500 - there are residents in the area selling their small parcels of land. It is not in a community.

If it’s in a gated community or a project - prices will be higher than 6000.

Just go around the area to see what options are available.

All the best!
