Managing Director of Liases Foras, Pankaj Kapoor has said that the recovery and the growth in sales are mostly due to the reduction of stamp duty by the government as well as discounts and offers provided by builders to drive sales.
Speaking on why Navi Mumbai is witnessing a growth whereas Thane is seeing a fall, Kapoor said, “Navi Mumbai offers a very broad range of price-band with homes available from Rs 3,500 per sq ft to Rs 15,000 per sq ft. In Thane, the minimum price point is Rs 8,000 per sq ft and nothing is available below that mark.”
