During the launch of the Normanton Park, they offered a lucky draw of 10 Mercedes-Benz cars as a reward. Which will be given to purchasers and their marketing agents. This will be offered only for the first 800 units sold. But according to the head of research and consultancy at ERA, the lucky draw is not the deciding factor to potential buyers. And this was agreed by PropNex’s Gafoor who stated that homebuyers and investors don’t pledge to a million-dollar property. Especially when the chance of winning a Mercedes car is one in eighty.
