Determining factors
Well half of the things depend on the area where the property is situated. Market value of an apartment or an independent house located at a residential area near the most happening market place or office area can be more than the segregated ones. The same applies to the commercial locations.
* Civic infrastructure: Not to mention, plush green surroundings with civic infrastructure and amenities like roads, safe drinking water and drainage system play instrumental role in determining prices of property market of a particular location.
* Safety and Security: Real estate at locations that are closer or are known as disturbance prone area are valued low, irrespective of infrastructure and other facilities. Sharp declines in the prices are witnessed in areas where incidents of loot or theft are reported frequently.
* Connectivity: Sound connectivity with bus depot, railway station and airport is equally important. Particularly, commercial properties in India in vicinity to these facilities make sensible investment proposition.
