Track2Realty Exclusive: While the real estate market in the metro cities have been flirting around with the NRIs to woo them with big-ticket investments, the discerning expat Indians had some other ideas. The destination to those desirable ideas was definitely not leading them to metro cities.

Track2Realty Exclusive: An assessment of business confidence index of Pune real estate post the formation of a stable Government at the Centre is not as easy as gauging the mood of the developers across any other city.

Track2Realty Exclusive: The commercial property is looking forward to sunny days with the forecast of capital values across the commercial segment expected to rise in the next few quarters. The rental market has already started showing the renewed interest level of the occupiers.

Track2Realty Exclusive: 100 days of governance may be too short a time to evaluate or judge the performance of a government or its impact on any given business. But the Gujarat real estate is so euphoric with the new government at the Centre that it seems they have not only regained some of the lost ground but also carry 100 new hopes ahead.
Track2Realty Exclusive: There are very few property markets across the country where the developments have been holistic. Some have grown as the residential zones, while others have developed as commercial zones. Even in commercial segment certain markets are known as retail markets while the rest of the markets have more office spaces.
