In recent years Kochi is becoming an investment hub for property investors. Many developers have already come up with residential projects & Sobha Marina One is one of them. Sobha Ltd has already impressed many home buyers for its top class commercial & residential projects in different parts of India. Marina One is a new launch, waterfront apartment on Marine Drive, Kochi.

DO NOT BLOCK YOUR MONEY BY INVESTING FLATS
If you planning to buy a flat you must check credibility of the builder and their project history before your investment. If possible talking to few previous customers who bought their flat will give you a good opinion of their experience with that builder. Once you book a flat without much reviews you may be trapped to get your money back and may lose your hard-earned money. There are many builders around they make their flats in low quality building, project money they gets they roll to another property and delay your project. There are many investors, especially NRI’s who trapped and going enormous stressful time because of wrong choice they made as part of investment. So I request all investors to wait until you fully convinced that your investment will not go in vain.

Kochi is considered to be best city in kerala to invest in real estate market. Kochi hits a six to become the next highly preferred real estate destination in India. All potential drivers such as IT development for employment generation, residential flats for accommodation, Metro rail for intra-city connectivity, the Smart City tag for basic infrastructure, port-based development for industry and commercial growth, airport terminal for international connectivity and foreign investment and tourism for the hospitality industry are emphasized in Kochi. You can invest in Marina One waterfront luxury apartment.

Kochi is an overpopulated city. If you are looking at an investment then you should consider neighboring locations that are 25 to 30% cheaper. You can invest the savings in an FD and reap benefits. I doubt the prices will go any higher due to oversupply of units and reduced cash inflow. It is a stable market with the only possibility of a downward trend, as the markets had reached a peak in 2013-14. The trends you see online are not accurate and are marginally influenced. If you personally visit the registrar's office, you will see the transactions have reduced by over 75 to 80% yoy. These are basic signs for not investing in an overpopulated city.

I think if you are planning to invest on a property in Kaloor in Kochi, then i think this is a right time. the trends are likely to rise in the near future. Even though the market trends are to be sluggish at the time, the developers will attempt to offload their existing inventory at the prevailing market rates.

well, in my opinion, the connectivity of a region is what makes it an investment hot spot. In Kochi, NH 47 is there which means that the area is well connected to Coimbatore, Salem, Palakkad, and Trissur areas. NH 17 is also helpful for the local exporters because it connects Kochi to Panvel. NH 85 which passes through here links kochi to madhurai and dhanushkodi.

I think Kochi is also seen as a smart city with potential software hubs, manufacturing industries, mobility hub at vyttila as well as the influence of the Non Resident Keralites or the NRK's. I think these are the other reasons for the development of the real estate value of Kochi.

At Kakkanad, i think the price of the property starts at Rs 25 lakhs if you are planning to buy a 700 square feet apartment. In the Kadavanthra region, I think that the property prices range between Rs. 40-60 lakhs and this is the same for the region of Edapally.

If you are planning to invest in Kerala, then most probably you will zero down to Kochi. i think most will prefer the space, view, and luxury of the Marine drive and leads you to some of the plushing buildings in kochi that is worth anywhere around 4 crore rupees. If you are planning for an affordable accommodation, then try Edapally, Kadavanthra or kakkanad area instead of Marine Drive.

hey, here the rental market is not that well established. I think the demand is more for fully-furnished accommodation. For a 1000 square feet flat, that is close to the IT park, the rent might be as high as Rs. 50000 per month. Usually, the youngsters take up on a sharing basis.

hey, i got some good information, that will be quite helpful for you. i got to know that the Multi storeyed apartments are quite popular investment options in this region with 31 per cent of buying population. Prices are in the range of Rs. 20-68 lakhs for a 2 bhk. If you opt for a 3 bhk then you would have to spend between rs. 23 lakhs to rs 4.5 crores.

this is not all,,Aerotropolis and a special economic zone for aircraft manufacturing units, the development of vyttila mobility hub that is set to channelise the city traffic - i think that this will help to mobilize the capital and rental market of Kochi.

yeah..and you know, the region along the Edapally Bypass is gradually transforming itself into a retail hub and fresh supply of mall spaces can be seen every now and then. I think kochi has a huge scope because there are variety of options like Recreation, investment, as well as business opportunities, that are making this region quite demanding.

very true..you know, the micro markets have been one of the reasons for the booming real estate developments in Kochi. I think that the suburban areas such as Palarivattom, Edapally, Vytilla, Panampilly nagar, Kadavanthra, Palarivattom etc are some of the areas that are brimming with upcoming projects on a smaller range.

Definitely, I think that the due to this micro market system, the real estate of kochi is keeping up even after the global recesion. You can see that the property market fell by 32 percent in the last three quarters in Kochi region. I think the real estate growth in the region of Kochi is gaining up pace.

true, the area near to the Smart city especially, Kakkanad, Edachira etc are being revolutionarized, according to me.. Investors can take a cue and wait for Kochi to take off as a major IT destination in the near future. Once the job market expands..i think the number of investment would double in this part of Kerala.

the real estate of Kochi has been growing at a rate of 30 percent in some years. I think one of the prominent reasons is the coming of the IT hubs like smart city. This is investing a lot of companies as well as working professionals to invest in this area.

Exactly, while convenient transportation is the agenda, most of the real estate is banking upon the location along the stretch. In my opinion, the property prices have already been on the rise. I think the rising position of Kochi as a business and commercial capital of Kerala is also a major reason for this change in the investment.

Oh..when we are talking about the Kochi Metro, i would like to say that it is a promising corridor for the growth of real estate in kochi. You know, the kochi metro is the 25 km long stretch that lies between Aluva and Petta. The important places like Companypady, Ambattukavu, Kalamassery, Edapally, Palarivattom, Ernakulam South, Elamkulam, etc will see a huge growth in investment because of the metro rail project.

I think some of the key reasons for the development of Kochi as a sought-after destination for the investors is that of Infrastructural development. Recently only, the commencement of the much awaited Kochi metro came. Moreover, the Smart city initiatives as well as the opening of various job avenues in the city, are in my opinion, the greatest forces for this change.

Hey, over the years, you know, Kochi's real estate market was comparatively slower than that of the metro cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Pune or Bangalore. But, I think, this year is a good year for the investors who are looking to invest in Kochi. I think the infrastructural development is a key reason for this.
