Renowned realtor DLF Properties sells properties worth $ 1 billion in 72 houses, while his rival Godrej Properties sells apartments worth only $ 3 million by offering them to the select list of the customers. These indicate how the luxury property market is moving through the fast lane. According to property developers, the current trend is selling luxury units having amenities like multi-level parking facility, spa, sprawling spaces with greenery. These amenities are totally absent in old apartments and individual houses located in narrow lanes and by lines of the towns and cities of the country.
