The Kolkata real estate market is booming with options — from luxury towers in Alipore to gated communities in Joka and EM Bypass. But one big question keeps popping up for homebuyers:

"Should I go for a ready-to-move flat or invest in an under-construction project?"

Each comes with its own pros and cons. Here's a clear, no-nonsense breakdown from Sky Home, your trusted channel partner for premium properties in Kolkata and Dubai.
