Why this blog

I'm part of the crowd who is considered by Developers in pune as cow, whom they considered to be soft spoken and whom they can milch to garner BIG profit. Yes i'm an IT professional, We probably get looted almost everywhere in our day to day life, be it Rickshaw walla, vegatable vendor or Landlords looking for prospective tenant.

Since last 1 month i have been doing rounds visiting many societies/flat for a rental accomodation and first thing i get asked is what do you do, where do you work. May be i'm cynicist and reading too much between the line. But the rent i'm quoted after giving the answer about my job doesn't make me believe otherwise.


I'm also trying to find a home to buy in pune. And have visited many sites (mostly in Wakad and Pimple Saudagar) to enquire about the rates and plans. No wonder my search is still on.


Also i have been following some real estate blogs most prominently the famous Ravi Karendeekar Blog. More and more i have read his blog i feel he probably doesn't share the pain of people like me. I found it hard when he justify the price of 3000+ for a property in areas like Wakad and hinjewadi. Not to disparage his efforts in giving some insight on the RE projects in pune, but when it comes to pricing...as a buyer i dont want to believe him.


Thats the reason for this blog of mine, to be able to give my views on the property in pune not as a Real Estate SALESMAN but as a prospective buyer.
