A lot factors are involved in the pricing of the property like the location of the property, neighbourhood, the size of property.

So should a buyer wait to buy a property?
Buyers should negotiate with the developer or the seller before buying the property. Real estate market has seen a decrease in the demand for property in last three quarters, making developers sell the apartments and properties in negotiated cost. If a buyer finds the right house with suitable location and required amenities, then waiting for the prices to drop maybe fruitless as there won’t be any serious price drops. Prices of properties vary from location to location. The current real estate situation gives buyers a new opportunity to buy the house of their dream while negotiating the right price. A buyer can get a discount of 10 percent to 20 percent depending on the property.
