Property prices coming down?

Magicbricks Moderator says: A recent report by a property consultancy indicates that the property market is witnessing a ‘correction’ and the prices will face 'stagnation'. In simple words, it means that the prices for land and flats are coming down owing to economic factors.

Do you agree with these claims? Do you feel that the property prices will come down any soon? Have you bought a house recently? What has your experience been?

Mumbai flat sells for Rs 1.25 lakh per sq ft!

Magicbricks moderator says - Recently, BJP MP Vinod Khanna bought a residential apartment at Malabar Hill from Citibank for Rs 1.25 lakh per sq ft. Khanna has paid Rs 31.25 crore for the 2,500 sq ft flat. The sale price was four times higher than the reserve price of Rs 32,000 per sq ft.

In a similar transaction nearly six months back, a London-based NRI acquired a 3475 sq ft property in NCPA apartments at Nariman Point for Rs 97,842 per sq ft.
