What is the market checklist before buying re-sale property?
Locality: Prices differ for different locatity, but you should also take factors such as infrastructure and convenience into consideration - they could cause a rise in prices. East and south facing properties and vaastu complaint properties also come at a higher price than other properties in the same location, possibly even in the same complex. High-rises in premium locations could also have higher prices for properties on higher floors.
Demand & supply: In addition to the locality, the demand and supply of properties in the area also plays a big role. The more in demand the locality is, the higher the prices. One or two premium developments also increase the overall prices in the area.
