How do you assess the true value of your house?
The market price of property in India is not always in sync with its intrinsic value. The home buying experience of Rajesh Kalra, a professional in Mohali, soured at the time of possession. He had negotiated with the builder and till that point of time believed that with his negotiation skills he made a good bargain for the same.

Real estate has toxic positivity problem worldwide
A recent report claims current sentiment index score of Indian real estate is 72. I wonder how! Who is going to believe this? Definitely not the home buyers at the receiving end of the builders with delay, default, unmet promises and what not. But this is not an isolated instance of one-odd such report. As a matter of fact, most of the reports by the brokerage firms (in the guise of consulting firms) and other industry stakeholders would like the home buyers to believe that if you don’t buy property now, you would be left behind.
