We will be authoring a series of articles exploring the industry from an insider’s perspective. To kick things off, we thought we would create an updated list of all the active players with some interesting details about them.

I feel that the group buying of low ticket items results in small savings which may not be significant therefore group buying can be more successful and effective for high ticket items like real estate.
I could find only one website http://www.groupbookings.in doing it in India. I think that as the industry matures, many people will prefer to buy high ticket items in a group rather than the low ticket items.
http://DealMela.in is a platform for real estate crowd sourcing by using the power of the net to reach to a wide cross section of real estate sellers and buyers. The portal not only allows buyers to aggregate, it also provide builders with a potent tool to offload their inventory through the portal.
DealMela deals in four segments on a pan – India basis viz. residential apartments, luxury villas, plots/land, holiday/ second homes. Limited properties are listed for sale allowing diverse buyers to express their interest and evince an intention to purchase. A significant discount is guaranteed provided a minimum number of such persons eventually sign up. Buyers can also create and join location or project specific buyer communities and facilitate online aggregation.
Dis-intermediation in Real Estate is the genuine need of the hour! While existing portals do not charge any fee to buyers, brokerage is levied on builders based on actuals sale to the buyers. In the true spirit of dis-intermediation in the real estate market, DealMela offers free listing of properties to all builders!
