The bubble was always there

2011 – Moved to Bangalore. Everyone said real estate was too inflated, better to wait for prices to stabilize. Project delays were common. Identified a 3BHK in JP Nagar for ₹96L.

2016 – Massive influx of people, demand rising. Heard advice like “Water issues will come up, don’t invest now, put your money in mutual funds instead.” Same property: ₹1.3Cr.

2020 – “Prices have stabilized. Remote work is the future. The real estate bubble has burst.” Reality: The market barely dipped and rebounded fast.

2024 – “Prices are at an all-time high, just wait, they’ll cool down soon.” Same property: Easily over ₹2.5cr, zapkey shows multiple sales already.

The cycle continues. Don’t listen to social media gurus/ Reddit charlatans, if you feel like it is the right project and the right time, with enough due diligence, get the right info. Just go for it. There is never a right time, your life here is temporary.
