The program of computer lottery shall be held on the earlier decided date of October 14, 2021 at 10 am, at Dr. Kashinath Ghanekar Natyagriha, near Hiranandani Meadows, Manpada, Thane (West).

The response is a mirror to the private developers who keep complaining that homebuyers are staying away from the market.

Flats in MHADA lottery are available at affordable rates and the response goes on to show that homebuyers are willing to buy homes if they aren’t available at affordable rates.

When asked homebuyer why was he so eager to get a MHADA house he said, “The prices are affordable and getting a home loan will be easier with the government tag associated with MHADA homes.”

MHADA is a government run authority and has delivered a lot of homes in the past too. Even private developers say that the trust homebuyers have for government name is huge and private enterprises lack that kind of trust.
