IndiaProperties June 27, 2007

Posted by Pallav Sharda in : Real Estate , trackback

Initially I was going to file IndiaProperties in the ‘Unusable Real-Estate Sites‘ list, but had second thoughts.

Although it has flashing/scrolling graphics, just like its unusable peers (see my older post about ‘Hallmarks of an average Indian website‘), the site is seems more established than others. The compete.com data is rough but still shows about 1,000 visitors per month.

It’s a property listing service, so business model is overall about the sellers paying for their time-bound posting, and buyers browsing for free. The content seems to be existing (to say the least).I could find at least one listing for Ajmer, Glubarga and Almora each (that amounts to something, right? Emoticon Grin).

Anyway. It’s another startup focusing on a MLS type service for India’s property market. They have a good domain name and a decent site, so I’d say they have a better chance of actually becoming a viable service long-term.

PencilĀ IconUpdate (Oct 2007): Seems like IndiaProperties is gaining some ground. They recently announced a tie-up with Hirco, an arm of the Niranjan Hiranandani group, to undertake online direct marketing of properties in Chennai.
