Tushar Bungley answers,  at 2009-03-06 13:50:50Seems to be a reasonable deal. You can go ahead with it. Though rental value quoted here seems to be a bit high compared to the existing market.


Vinayak asked, Hi Tushar!! I want to buy a house in Bangalore in Malleshwaram region. There is this developer who is quoting 80lac (including stamp duty) for an apartment which is 1730sq ft... Is he quoting high price ?

Tushar Bungley answers, All markets are moving south (down wards). It's hard to say but as per our guestimates the marketsmay look very gittery for real estate for at least 2 quarters. Given India is a sentimental economy the boom would also be driven by western economy gaining momentum.

Ubaid asked, As per a report by Knight Frank there are 332 Malls in Tier I cities in the pipeline for 2009 alone. These are sole commercial developments without residential developments in in the vicinity of these malls. The over supply should bring about a correction of prices. Will this not drip into the residential segment then?
