2022 to be year of top realty brands at the cost of smaller developers

2021 was expected to be the year of recovery for the Indian real estate that weathered the black swan of Covid in the preceding year.  Throughout the year the developers put up a brave face and the industry data of the top listed developers was enough to keep the prophets of doomsday in silence.

Catalysts of real(ty) optimism on festive season

Will the festive season of 2021 change the course of real estate is something that most of the analysts are curious to see. The festive season has just started and it is too early to guesstimate the exact sales volume & value growth at this point of time.

But now they are more than willing to work at INR 250 in places like Patna, Kanpur, Kochi etc where they are stationed in proximity to their home towns and the cost of living is much lesser, compared to the metro cities.
