Rowena, I just finished reading the book, Goa@60, Transition of Goa Post-Liberation, by Dr. Seema P. Salgoankar. It covers various topics and Real Estate in one of them. It also highlights the rise and good and evil of tourism especially considering the rapid development of coastal areas into hubs of of hotels and the spread of drug culture. The prices of real estate has soared and a substantial part of villages like that of Assogao and Siolim have concentrated land ownership/houses by mostly rich Indians, who may have constructed houses as "summer homes" to escape their harried lives in cosmopolitan towns/cities such as Delhi and Bombay. Bollywood has sparked interest and besides filmstars the trend has hit cricketers, who can afford to own property and construct houses in Goa. Maybe it has added prestige to Goa and, hence, land sharks are wading into the dirty pool of making money when the going is good. When in Goa early this early, I was approached at least three people who asked if there's any land/house available in my little village with a beach, Bogmalo, where came a big hotel then named Oberoi Bogmalo, run by the well-know Oberoi group but the hotel belonged to a rich Indian. How long will this trend last and how far it will Goa one cannot say for sure. But Goa is in the minds of locals, as well as foreigners some of whom have made Goa their seasonal homes. Welcome to Goa is a tourist cry, and much rides on it. Real Estate has risen and will rise as days and years pass one. Hope an end will come in the near future.
