Track2Realty Exclusive: While the property markets in other parts of the country are busy with festive offers, Coimbatore real estate is showing no signs of gift, freebies and other marketing lucrative schemes. Prima facie it may seem like the festive buying of homes is not a reality in this part of the world, and hence no developer is bothered to lure the home buyers with gold coins, cars, foreign tours or outright discount.
Track2Realty Exclusive: Real estate in search of the twin objectives of sales and brand promotions has, of late, learnt that there is no better mechanism to achieve the both than property exhibitions. It brings many buyers & multiple sellers on board to showcase what is available in the given market.

Track2Realty Exclusive: A festive spirit only adds to the buyers’ sentiments in the property market. It can not be catalyst to new sales if the sentiment in general is low, as has been evident in the property market of Mumbai in the last 3-4 years due to general slowdown and other macroeconomic subdued indicators. However, if the sentiments are bullish a festive season can turn out to be catalyst to market revival as well. That is very much expected in the Mumbai property market this time around, thanks to the change in the overall outlook.

No end to the global housing market downturn is in sight, except probably in the US, according to a survey of global house price trends by the Global Property Guide Asia is weakening, and house price falls in the worst-hit European crisis countries are dramatically accelerating.
If you think prime locations in the NCR have hit the roof and you missed the dream rally in having a reasonably priced home, there is no reason to look at the secondary locations. In an expanding National Capital Region (NCR) while some of the locations deter you due to its less appreciation potential or controversies galore, then probably your property hunt has not led you to the destination next of the region—New Gurgaon.
