Why short-term property gains are harder than they look.
Some buyers hope to book a flat at launch and sell it before possession for a quick profit. In practice, short-term property gains in Chennai are difficult because of high transaction costs, transfer restrictions and taxes. This page sets realistic expectations.
Rarely, in strong launches with limited inventory and rising demand. Even then, outcomes are uncertain. See pre-launch investment.
Without a confirmed price, unit mix or transfer policy, short-term returns cannot be assessed. Long-term holding or self-use is more realistic. See long-term investment.
If you need liquidity within a short period, property may not suit you. Discuss with a financial adviser.
No return or appreciation is guaranteed; consult a financial adviser before investing.
