About Propsoch
The residential real estate market in India is valued at approximately USD 200Bn, with nearly USD 67Bn concentrated across the top 14 cities. These cities alone account for nearly 6 lakh homes sold annuallyand that's only what is officially tracked.
Homebuying is one of the largest financial decisions in an Indian household's life. Buyers often commit up to 50% of their monthly income toward EMIs or down payments. Yet the process is deeply broken:
- Fake listings and misleading microsites.
- Paid promotions overshadowing genuine quality.
- Biased reviews and incentive-driven broker advice.
- Limited data-backed insights.
- Hidden costs, legal risks, and mis-selling.
