IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO BUY PROPERTY AND RENT IN INDIA. India is a pure appreciation market.<br /><br />The shear 1.2 billion (and growing) population, with a large number of hands working and making money will continue to fuel the demand in the coming several years or decade. A little up-down might happen, but on a wider horizon, Indian real-estate market will remain stable or even bullish to some extend.<br /><br />I have a friend from SFO who bought a bungalow in Forest Trails @ 1.24 and now the phase II is selling for more than double of that.<br /><br />It doesn't matter if it is worth it, as long as there are people in the line to pay for it. More even when several of them are paying in CASH.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07070743260177765416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269558537262232516.post-51747333943904757042012-02-03T21:50:50.742+05:302012-02-03T21:50:50.742+05:30pl.think positively it's a2 flat combo offer.pl.think positively it's a2 flat combo offer.gudamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06633989050560356814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269558537262232516.post-10305496248575867392011-11-07T17:56:27.005+05:302011-11-07T17:56:27.005+05:30For all those who are thinking that Forest Trails ...For all those who are thinking that Forest Trails is still at 1.25 crore, here's a shocker.

I don’t think the price is that high. I think its a good investment opportunity. Now a days you get 4 bed apartment for around 80 lacks in Baner. I own a property in Vasant Vihar, an Australian style bungalows in Baner by Paranjape. I am impressed with the quality of construction work and overall planning of the society. I have seen many other builders/bungalow projects in Pune but nothing comes close to Vasant Vihar. <br /><br />Someone above also commented about buying a property in California and renting it. Good luck. Being there and done that. The amount of appreciation and rent that you get for a bungalow like this in Pune, you will not get that in CA. <br /><br />Vasant vihar bungalows are appreciating at the rate of 25% for past three years even in the recession. The reason is these properties are purchased by people who are not affected by recession and there are many of them out there!<br /><br />Someone was taking about infrastructure at Forest Trails. If you have been in Baner 8 years back, you wont have any concerns about not having any infrastructure there. I think forest trails a good investment for returns in 10 years. <br /><br />BTW I am no way associated with Paranjape builder, I am sharing this cause I have a first hand experience with the builder and his property.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269558537262232516.post-49314205916430113492010-01-25T23:26:55.001+05:302010-01-25T23:26:55.001+05:30i am interestedin buying a 2bhk apartment in pune....i am interestedin buying a 2bhk apartment in pune.iwould be interested in a property in the baner,baner-pashan road,bavdhan,pimple saudagar...need some help with some good builders and propperty searchAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269558537262232516.post-12358109084256318062010-01-05T15:35:14.575+05:302010-01-05T15:35:14.575+05:30Well I think BR is a big project by itself & f...Well I think BR is a big project by itself & first of the Township type Paranjape (or any builder from Pune) is building. I think they should focuss harder on BR to save their name plate. Once they show it with atleast the Phase-I of BR, thenn they can go trailing any of the forests they want :). I know ppl who have invsted in BR & have big chance of having LBW - trapped in between, not too fwd, not on back foot either. What I mean is, if they cancel a flat in BR, they wont get money in hand till there is prospective buyer :) (next to impossible - atleast today). I dont know, whether the BR flats will appreciate even after 7/8 years. <br /><br />Anyone here, can he/she give me analysis of BR 7/10 years down the line ? Will it pay back ? Ppl bought at the rates around Rs3200, will they get those rates crossing atleast 4500 mark in next 7/8 yrs ?<br /><br />At BR they Opened school first, gr8.
