Investing in property at Lucknow is a very wise decision as the city real estate market is currently a buyer's market with conservative estimates pointing to a likely 8 to 10% appreciation on year. Lucknow is divided into old Lucknow and new Lucknow. Traditionally old Lucknow has an independent housing culture. If you are open to moving to new Lucknow, investing in a residential apartment is advised. Invest in a plot only if you are reluctant to move to new Lucknow while returns may not be that lucrative in the long term.

We're a nation of animal lovers. In fact, it's estimated that nearly half the population own a pet, mainly dogs, cats and caged birds. Yet anyone who owns a pet and is looking to rent a property knows it can be a real stumbling block. Many landlords are unwilling to let their property to a tenant with a pet, concerned about damage caused by their furry friends.

"RBI's move to keep the repo rate unchanged was an expected one considering the recent rate cuts. However, several measures like increase in bank lending to productive sectors & foreign portfolio investors being allowed to invest in G-secs after their investment limits are utilized signal the central bank's pro-activeness to mobilize the Indian economy. With CAD & inflation targets well within control & GDP estimates of 7.6%, the Indian economy seems headed for a good financial year ahead. We would expect Banks to reduce home loan rates further in this fiscal and encourage the fence sitter to take a decision to give a much needed boost to the Real Estate sector".

CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- Home buyers may soon win more time to get to the closing table to qualify for a federal home-buyer tax credit of up to $8,000. The House of Representatives passed the Homebuyers Assistance and Improvement Act on Tuesday to extend the deadline for the home-buyer tax credit, which would give buyers who have purchase contracts in place three more months to close on the sale. The measure still awaits approval in the Senate; a vote there could come as early as Wednesday. Under the House bill, buyers must close before Oct. 1 to be eligible for the credit. That means people who had hiccups in getting to the closing table would have a few more months to wrap things up. The closing deadline was originally June 30. To be eligible, buyers needed to have a contract in place by April 30, and that won't change through this legislation. The National Association of Realtors estimated that about 180,000 otherwise eligible buyers were likely to miss out on the credit if the original deadline was upheld. One big hurdle for buyers has been getting the mortgage approval on time, as lenders work through a clogged pipeline of applications. In the Senate, the measure to extend the closing date for these buyers is included in a bill that also would extend unemployment insurance. Majority Leader Harry Reid filed for cloture on the bill on Tuesday, and expects to have a cloture vote on the measure on Thursday, according to Reid's office. If cloture is invoked, that limits debate on the bill, bringing it a step closer to a final vote. But Reid said on the Senate floor Wednesday morning that he was working to get an agreement with Republicans to pass the House-passed tax-credit bill by unanimous consent as early as Wednesday, according to Regan Lachapelle, Reid's deputy communications director.
