India's Real-Estate Hotspots

Real estate values across the country have steadily appreciated in the last four years. A report released by Jones Lang LaSalle, a real estate firm, looks at eight micro-markets where prices have gone up the most. According to the report, these locations “offer a large bouquet of investable options in real estate with their lower price levels providing the incentives for future capital appreciation and healthy returns”. A rider: The expected percentage gains over a one-year period show the velocity of appreciation has slowed. The increase in value will vary—for instance, a 14.5 percent gain in Whitefield, Bangalore, to as low as 5.8 in the southern suburbs of Chennai.
