Dear Mumbaikars , how are you all adjusting to this insane real estate mafia .

Discussion

Straight to context - been in mumbai on and off since 2009.
Malad - Andheri East - seven bungalows . Have moved around during my bachelor days & then back in 2018 post marriage in Chembur .

Now we were looking to move towards Andheri since husband work happens to be there .

What’s with the insane pricing for a 1bhk . All brokers say because of redevelopment but even post redevelopment the new gates society or apartments are charging 65k for 1 bhk with a built up of 300-400Sq feet.
This is absolutely looting people off their feet ..

How are u guys okay with it ? Why hasn’t the market crashed yet ? Why isn’t a proper check on this or no ask about it ?

I agree the spirit of mumbai but really ? Wow coming from south I feel this is like insane . If any one has a chance of doing the same job out side the state say like banking - IT etc should choose another metro or tier 2 better quality of life .

Giving away 70% of ur salary for rent is insane not that our salaries have hiked like how the rents have- this is pure mafia man .

Sorry for the rant but wow 😯
