While property prices in the country as a whole are tanking fast, real estate in Goa is presently stagnant, but are yet to go down significantly, say real estate developers. Over the last four years, Goa has attracted huge investments for holiday homes from overseas Goans, NRIs and wealthy North Indians.
Real estate operators say that property with a good sea view is always in demand. Earlier, though, properties in interior Goa with a reasonable proximity to a city were also in great demand, sending land prices soaring.
The big property boom started in 2003, and never stopped till the US-based Lehman Brothers went bankrupt late last year. For example, land prices in Panjim nearly doubled in the last year. Other places, too, have seen better-than 20 per cent annual increases.
Since October, though, real estate demand has dropped to half, owing to the global recession and statewide protests against mega-projects. This has stabilised property prices, which have reduced by a minor 5 to 10 per cent. However, the industry expects property prices to drop by 20 to 25 per cent in the coming months, especially from small developers, who are not in a position to hold on.
Many of these small developers are from Delhi and Mumbai. They joined the gold rush to develop property in Goa but have now run out of money and are left with unfinished projects, thanks to the credit crunch. They have been the first to drop rates and resort to panic sales.
Reputed developers are hurt badly, but still prefer to hold on. They feel the present slump is the result of panic, and since land with clear titles is scarce in Goa, the prices are bound to recover and stabilise, unlike in Indias big cities and metros. Consequently, even those who bought land at very high rates in the past few years are not willing to cut prices.

I’m often asked whether a property refurbishment will increase the value of a property and the answer is yes – but a return on the investment is far from guaranteed!
The trouble is that the true value of a property lies chiefly in its potential as perceived by the buyer in the marketplace in terms of the potential of the real estate, rather than whether it has been refurbished or not. The buyer may not care for your property refurbishment anyway and could gut the whole place as soon as you have gone- after all, a building is just a chattel.
Owning a property is a treasure in itself. Everyone loves to have a house of one own. I also fall under that category. Thus, when I was searching for a better accommodation to live in I looked after the most happening place Gurgaon where I could look for better residential complexes and even fully furnished offices could be bought. Thus, who would love to fall back when one is getting two things at one place and that also in affordable rates, right?
Commercial property doesnt mean to own only buildings for office but other things like industrial property, hotels, malls, medical centers, shopping centers, retail stores, warehouses Garages, farm land and investment in housing societies. By looking at the growing economic condition of India more and more investors are interested in buying properties rather than investing in the market of Gold and silver. Thus, there is more demand of investors in the sector of real estate and India is considered the safest place to do investment as it is said that India promises of higher returns and huge profits.
Buy Commercial Properties India and fly with higher return. This sector is increasing tremendously. Because of the retail boom in the market of real estate in India more numbers of buyers are interested to invest in commercial property Gurgaon. Commercial property NCR is also not far away in the race of buying and selling land. The interest of buyers and investors in the field of commercial property is increasing because of the traditional retail shops; the small complexes of shopping changing their face into multi storied shopping complexes, more popular as malls which they take it as a means of satisfying their taste of luxury at affordable rate. Thus, the development of commercial property and upcoming commercial projects in the sector of real estate is worth trustworthy and solely responsible for the market growth rate in India.

There are several reasons why people choose to buy a second property abroad.
