DLF to build home for ‘aam aadmi’. Is the market reviving?

BrixBlog Moderator says: Economic downturn has forced property builders to re-consider their plans. The country’s leading property builder – DLF Ltd. – has announced housing projects for ‘the common man’. This announcement comes at a time when property builders are shelving off expansion plans. DLF has always indulged in luxury projects. This is a new initiative for the builder. 

Will this revive demand for housing? Are you interested in new projects being launched at this time?

Hi,

Need flat and furnishings on rent in Mumbai

BrixResearch Moderator: A user, working with an IT company, is being transferred to Mumbai. He wants to take a flat on rent. To save costs, he wants to rent furniture and other furnishing articles as well. His query runs as follows:

User Query: I want to rent a flat and furnish it in Mumbai? Where do I go? How do I get started? Renting is not so much a problem, but furnishing has become a headache. I don't want to BUY a fridge, TV, sofa, bed, cupboard, wardrobe etc. as I may have to move back home soon.
Is there any place where I can get an apartment and the necessities on rent?
