8) Pune's growth key to cheap housing'

9) How many cancellations happened at Blue Ridge?

Feeling proud for helping "property buyer's initiatives"!

Out of 9 popular posts, 4 are on property buyers initiates! Insignia, Ashish Yadav and Vinay Deshpande's initiatives of forming a property buyers group to own a home at a reasonable rates.

If "launching of Paranjape Schemes' Blue Ridge" was the highest point of real estate boom in Pune, we can say that the "launching of Nanded City Pune" was "the end."

Then, can we say that launching of Darode Jog's Greenland-County, a beginning of a new era?

Completely different from what Dileep Athavale, business editor of Times of India, Pune and my old friend, had predicted. A new trend of quality affordable housing with amenities, for non IT property buyers who have a small budget?

I am worried about those young, first time, IT property buyers, who happened to enter in Pune real estate market at a point when their colleagues had contributed a lot in inflating property prices.

Feeling angry against the builders in Pune, these property buyers were anxiously waiting for the property prices to come down and they can afford to buy a home in their budget at their preferred location.

What will happen to them?

Because of the holding capacity of their colleagues, senior IT professionals turned real estate investors, rates of resale flats are not coming down. At the same time, all most all builders are going to launch "affordable housing" to avoid reducing property rates of the ongoing projects.

Are they going to miss an opportunity to own a home?

Or will they come to terms? Will they accept that real estate is a local business? Pune real estate market may take a different turn than Delhi - NCR or Bangalore real estate!

"Supply and demand" not only influences the property rates, it compels the sellers, for example Darode Jog Properties, to create a "new market" too!

I think, these posts reflects these important trends and turning points in Pune real estate markets. What say you? Please, share your views in the comments. (Comments Policy),

Dear Pune property buyers, thanks and best wishes!

Happy Holi!

First, I wish you all very colorful Holi. I am sure, this Holi will add few colors to our black and white life.

Today, in a festive mood, i checked Google Analytics to find out how this blog, Ravi Karandeekar's Pune Real Estate Market News Blog is doing.

Recently, my friends and well wishers had started worrying about the readership of my blog. There concern was: how many will read my blog if there are no property buyers in Pune real estate market!

Mainstream Media:

In last couple of months, we have seen that real estate supplements of leading newspapers in Pune, Sakal and Times of India, had almost vanished. Real estate advertising, main source of revenue of print media, is shrinking very fast. Most popular "Out Of Home" (outdoor) media of Pune real estate advertising, hoardings, including at prime locations, going "empty", blank without any colorful digital prints. Same with FM radio, now we can listen only songs, Ghantasinh and traffic updates, except Sucasa at Wakad and Mont Vert's Rent Today Own Tomorrow offer.

Who's blog is it anyway?

Is this my blog? No. I give information, start the conversation. If you see the number of comments, you will realize that it's Pune property buyers' blog.

True, few angry property buyers, when don't exactly like the information i give, say that this blog is for promoting builders' interest. But they don't really mean it. They know that this is their blog where they can express themselves. Freely but without being abusive, without using foul language.

Don't you think posts along with the comments make this blog complete and useful? Don't you think it's Pune property buyers' blog? Please, share your views in the comments. (Comments Policy),
