A home by seaside is a dream for anyone and if one can not afford it in the main city of Mumbai as the first house, there is a globally emerging lifestyle destination of Alibaug; a city of beaches, forts, temples and innumerable coconut trees. It is a favourite destination of the huge fans of lifestyle with a difference.

Many home buyers as well as investors have been speculating about the movement of residential property prices in Mumbai. These fence-sitters are watching the market’s movements keenly. Their guess is that prices could go down further in the next few months – which in turn has increased their hopes of landing a better deal for their money and delaying their purchase.
