Question # 89

Suppose you have decided to sell your house and downsize by acquiring a townhouse that you have been eyeing for several years. You do not feel extreme urgency in selling your house; but the associated taxes are eating into your monthly cash flow, and you want to unload the property as soon as possible. Your real estate agent, whom you have known for many years, prices your home at Rs 90,00,000—you are shocked. You paid Rs 250,000 for the home only 15 years ago, and the Rs 900,000 figure is almost too thrilling to believe. You place the house on the market and wait a few months, but you don’t receive any nibbles. One day, your real estate agent calls, suggesting that the two of you meet right away. When he arrives, he tells you that Pharma Growth, a company that moved into town eight years ago in conjunction with its much-publicized initial public offering (IPO), has just declared bankruptcy. Now, 7,500 people are out of work. Your agent has been in meetings all week with his colleagues, and together they estimate that local real estate prices have taken a hit of about 10 percent across the board.
