buildings are not more than 18 stories high. Professionals, first time home
buyers and young married couples prefer to buy flats in these high rises. These
offer amenities and facilities like 24 hour power backup, regular water supply,
parks, gyms, and swimming pools.
Price Trends:- The time is right to buy property in Sonarpur as the
property rates are affordable. The real estate trend shows a slide
for the last quarter and this may be the best time to invest in property here.
The trends indicate a fall of 2 to 14 per cent over the last quarter (January
to April 2012 figures). This decline in property prices is due to the market
correction. However, in the last quarter of 2012 and by early 2013, prices have
shot up and properties are yielding good results.
When the builders launched new
projects here, they demanded unreasonable prices from the buyers which in turn
made the buyer shy away from the market.
The spring is back in the realty
market as the prices have come down to normal level and the buyers are
investing money in Sonarpur.
