Re: Why Not Rent ?
I Don't think there has been any particular increase in rents. This talk of demand from russians is likely to be just to try negotiate a beter rent. In fact I would believe that in many micro markets in goa there is an over supply link in carazalem, panjim. The increased cost if at all may be for specific complexes that have amenities/view that all complexes do not. I have been investing in residential property for sometime in goa and I would agree with many of the comments that irrespective of whether you intend to leave goa or not it is a good time to exit real estate. With rental yields barely at 3% of property value, and no real expectations of appreciation in capital values; unless there is a sudden spurt from mining restarting .. It makes much more commercial sense to rent... In fact it may make sense for goans to sell themselves and rent and put their money where returns are better. I would have done it except that being of goan origin i can give up the hope of someday retiring there... I suspect if one went down the road or to some online forums such as olx and quickr there woild be plenty to choose from and the best way to deal with unreasonable demands for rent increase would be to shift somewhere down the road .. Seems strange why there is difficulty in finding places to rent at market price .. I have a great penthouse and would have been more than be more than happy to have someone who can appreciate lifestyle it offers use it long term .. Including equipping it to the preference of the occupant ..But find no way to connect with such people and am unwilling to risk any riff-raff damaging it.

Re: Why Not Rent ?
Ready to fly out to Goa - had decided to enjoy this holiday, then have another season from November, on my own to see how things went. Property is not on the market but had a phone call from Goa this afternoon with an excellent offer for the apartment far more than anybody else has achieved
Do I sell, or do I stay - decisions, decisions, decisions?

Our advice Noni would be to sell especially as there are so many new developments being built everywhere and the market will be flooded by next year. If you have received a good offer go for it. You can always come back and rent but the world is a big place and visas are either cheaper or unnecessary in many places to visit. Good luck.
