Investing in property, especially a home for living, is the best bet in the prevailing environment of ballooning inflation, a top real estate industry official said.
If you want to invest in property, this is the best time. Property prices are reasonable and the chances of an upside in the future are greater as compared to other asset classes, Maharashtra Chamber of Housing Industry (MCHI)s President, Pravin Doshi, said today.

Property boom in Mumbai
After recently taking the plunge into Thailands so-called overheated property sector, I started to feel discouraged as fears mounted that the market could soon crash due to skyrocketing prices.
