One reason why the real estate advertising landscape is quieter and devoid of usual frenzy this year is the deluge of ads by quick commerce, mobile phones, electronics, furniture and travel companies (booking full page ads and multiple jackets in newspapers) leveraging price cuts through GST2.0 reforms. Real estate developers fear that at this juncture their ads may get lost in the cacophony of quick commerce. They would rather wait for this rush to be over. Also, as a strategical shift, home ads are now spread out on quarterly basis.
