Top investments destination in Mumbai MMR- January - June 2015

Mumbai property prices are among the highest in the country.  Slow property sales and inflated pricing has led to buyers postponing their property buying decision considerably resulting in an inventory pile-up of 46 months.

IndiaProperty.com has analysed data across localities in Mumbai to arrive at the top localities favored by home buyers in the city. The data identifies the top investment destinations across the Mumbai region. In-depth analysis has been done for one locality from three different regions across the city, providing information on the various home buying influential criteria such as demand, budget preference, price trends and preferred residential property formats. A similar study has been done for other cities namely – Delhi NCR, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Chennai.
