As we all know there is a recession in the global market. So, because of that the volume of real estate transactions in Kochi have come down, but luckily things are not on the negative side yet.
We have to remember that this is India and it is a place full of surprises. Kerala is also the most literate state in the country, therefore I am sure that there are many good things in store for Kochi.
