Here Are A Few Things To Keep In Mind While You Buy A Vacation Home In Goa

Define your Budget

This should, definitely, be the first question on your mind: whether you have the money and if you can afford your dream vacation home in Goa. 

Don’t make decisions in a hurry. Carry out a thorough check of the whole property, villa, or apartment that you wish to purchase as your ultimate holiday home. Also, consider the cost which comes along with buying a home: your furniture, interiors, refrigerator, washing machine, vacation equipment, utilities, vacation equipment like water jet skis, a boat, etc. Remember to keep in mind all taxes that will be applicable when you’re buying your vacation home.

Evaluate if the Place Suits Your Lifestyle

If you’ve been a metropolitan city resident all your life and you’re planning to take up a house to drift away from your busy city life then, Goa is definitely a place you can think of for a vacation home. You could also consider Goa as a great idea to settle after your retirement. Imagine living in an exotic place, chilling every day by the beach, and watching your children and grandchildren enjoy and have fun on the beach.

But before anything you have to evaluate if the place you want to buy in Goa suits your lifestyle or not. Decide if you want an independent villa, a beach house, or an apartment. Do you want a peaceful place where your privacy is of high importance with fewer neighbors, or do you want to stay around the hustle and bustle of the city having the nightlife, restaurants, and shopping very close to your stay? 

Also, find out how easy or difficult it is to get to your vacation home. Are you going to have a quick road trip via the highway, or take a flight, or take a train or should it have boat access? Choose a location that you would love to visit time and again without getting bored of the place.

Get in Touch with a Local Real Estate Agent

Choosing a perfect location could be tough. But a local real estate agent would add great value to your decision. A person who knows the locality well would guide you better, help you with the legalities of the state, and know the market. 

In case you’re finding it difficult to get in touch with agents without being charged brokerage, then ‘Kasu’ a well-known real estate brand and a trustworthy developer, offers you the perfect holiday home you can ever think of without having second thoughts about any other luxury homes. 

If you feel like renting out the place as an investment, then you would need the real estate agent to check with the neighborhood, community, town, and state if there are any restrictions on utilizing the property as a rental unit.

You could find out the season time and the market rate for a rented place from the locals around. And since Goa is a tourist destination place and has so many different local and foreign tourists visiting the state every year, it is, certainly, a good idea to rent out your vacation home, just to get some income when you have a busy schedule and can’t make it for some holidays in Goa.

How would you use this Home Away from Home?

For some, a vacation home in Goa could be a place they choose to settle in after their retirement or as a destination for a lavish holiday with their friends and family. For others, it could be a  temporary home. 

But for many, in this expensive world, a vacation home is definitely an investment to be made. You could buy a place for cheap today and in a few years get double the return on investment. You could rent it out to foreigners who come to stay for a year or even to local tourists in Goa.

There can be times when you can’t find time to visit your vacation home. You may find out upon visiting that there is a leakage in your toilet or the pipelines are clogged. In that case, you may wish to consider having caretakers, security, or a surveillance system to check on your home while you’re away.

It could be your life-changing decision to have a vacation home in Goa. but you won’t regret having one for sure.
