How we rank
- Each project gets an Investment Score out of 100: the area's year-on-year price growth (35), entry price per sq.ft. below the area median (30, ignored when implausibly large), construction stage (15), RERA registration (10) and developer portfolio size (10).
- Area growth comes from the price trend published on each area page. It describes past movement — it is not a forecast.
Property prices can go down as well as up. Growth figures are past trends for an area, not a promise for any project; rental yield and resale value depend on the building, the market and timing. Treat this as a shortlist to research, and verify RERA details and the price on site before you invest.
