Here is the market prediction
In 2023, there will be many changes in property usage, valuation and sale. According to various rating agencies, the annual growth rate of Indian real estate is between 8 percent and 9 percent. Increasing commercial activity, strong job markets, and higher income levels are the reasons behind this increase. This will inevitably help to increase the demand in real estate. No doubt there will be a good demand for nearly completion projects.
