About Real Estate Prices in Kerala

An article about the price increase in property investments in the last few years. The numbers illustarted in the article might look like exaggrated. Infact they are not.. I guess every one of us knows some or the other guy made a fortune out of some land they inherited or bought for peanuts 5+years ago.. I remeber reading some where , the minimum(yes, minimum!) profit per year, in any land investment in cochin area have been 60% for the last several years.

Despite of our Govt and Kerala Media keep repeating 'land mafia', I sincierly think it is not just some 'land mafia' driving all the prices up in kerala. Some thing Kerala media , govt and many people fail to notice is that this is a growth that is reflected in every city in India .. Every part of india! While I agree there are some players in this field doing and trying foul plays, driving up the prices, it cannot be just that.. As per Wikipedia India " is the third largest in terms of purchasing power parity. India is the second fastest growing major economy in the world, with a GDP growth rate of 9.4% for the fiscal year 2006–2007"

Some happenings in the last few years...

  • Ambani is buliding the most expensive home in the world
  • Tata motors is buying 2 leading luxury auto brands in the world Jaguar and Land Rover
  • Lakshmi Mittal, is world's largest steelmaker ....
  • 14 new billionaires from India join world's richest people list,in the last year...
and the list goes on....

Indias projected GDP growth is 8+% in this year also.. When every business in India is booming, would it refelect in kerala ?.. Is it sensible to say , keralas land prices are all controlled by some 'land mafia' ?
