Over-supply has been oft-repeated blame game for slow property absorption across the country. However, in most of the cases this over-supply is a misunderstood term.

In most of the property markets, it is the demand & supply mismatch which is termed as over-supply.
The Northern Peripheral Road (NPR), also known as Dwarka Expressway, is an 18-km stretch of road that is being developed under the public private partnership (PPP) model.

A closer look in and around the area nevertheless convinced her that she had not been asked to pay unreasonable money by this landlord.

An outside view on the Indian real estate market may get confused with the fact that mismatch in delivery and performance is lesser in luxury projects than even affordable housing.

Track2Realty Exclusive: Noida seems to be on a highway of growth corridor and is fast emerging from the shadow of being poor cousin of NCR’s glorified market of Gurgaon. If the spate of luxury and other high-end launches are any indication, already Noida is in the process of an image makeover where the investors’ confidence is increasingly tilting in its favour.
