Small towns v/s big cities. Which is a better investment?

BrixResearch Moderator says: Real estate values in big cities stands at dizzying heights, making it difficult for most to buy property there. Sample this: plot rates for central Delhi are 80000-500000 Rs/sq yard presently. While property rates for plots in Chandigarh (central region) are 15000 Rs/sq yard.

Big cities are mostly chocked with development, with very little scope for expansion. Hence the focus has now shifted to smaller cities where ample space is available for expansion and the infrastructure resources cost low.

Given a choice, where would you like to invest:
- Any upcoming small/suburban town, where land and infrastructure resources are cheap
- Big city where real estate rates are high and rentals returns can fetch good profits

She wants to take advantage of the mellow property prices and intends to invest in real estate. Is it a safe bet to invest in property right now, or should she wait for real estate prices to dip further.

Is property better investment than gold?

BrixResearch Moderator says: Global slowdown has caused a serious dent in the financial markets. Shares, markets trade and even property transactions have hit an all time low. However, gold prices remain high as the metal is being considered as an alternative investment tool.
Given this sentiment, which of the two is a better investment option:
- Gold
- Property (including shares of property companies)
