The second placed driver Arjun Rao said, “On the whole the rally was very good, finishing 2^nd overall is a good start to the championship considering that I did not finish in Coimbatore. Stages were very fast, technical and needed 100% accuracy in terms of both driving and navigation. Thanks to my sponsors Mandavi Motors, MRF, Castrol and VW.”

Finishing third was Amittrajit Ghosh who said “Finishing 3^rd even after three punctures in 6 stages feels as good as a win. Plus we leave round 2 still leading the championship. Not our day but that’s rallying. Thanks to the team as always for their hard work in getting us to the finish.”

The INRC 2000cc winner, Bikku Babu said “We have been having a bit of bad luck in the last few rallies so the idea was to have a trouble free rally.

City Index values, computed as a ratio of number of listings to prices, rose by 1-3 per cent, indicating that buyers who purchased for regular rental returns were winners. Ahmedabad and Ghaziabad registered a negligible drop of 1 per cent in the index values.

Political Uncertainty

“The year 2014 started with anticipation among real estate stakeholders concerning the 16^th general elections in the country.

This was reflected in the National Property Index, registering a 1 per cent change in the Jan-Mar 2014 quarter.” explains Sudhir Pai, Business Head, Magicbricks.com

Demand Analysis

Mid-budget range of Rs 30-50 lakh remained the preferred category, especially in Bangalore and Pune.

Different weightages for Listed Price Monitor/Rent Monitor are used.

These are based on statistical calculations, industry inputs and logical interpretations.
