Capital values inched up marginally across all submarkets during the quarter but are expected to remain stable or grow marginally in the short to medium term owing to a substantial unsold inventory Affordable and mid segment projects are expected to drive the sales momentum in the city, especially in the Northern and Western submarkets.
