Commenting on the research, Aditya Verma CEO of Makaan.com said “Over the past 12 months property prices in India have moved in a narrow range with a slight negative bias. Just like one can identify good stocks in a depressed stock market, one can identify good investment areas in the current property market. Overall property prices in India are likely to remain stable over the next 12 months. Investors can take advantage of this situation and strike a good bargain”.
