What is the average cost of housing in India?

If you are thinking about moving to India, cost of living in probably a key consideration. Expats commented about the cost of housing...

"The average cost of housing in India varies significantly depending on the location and type of accommodation. In general, rural areas tend to have lower costs than urban areas. For example, a one bedroom apartment in a city like Delhi or Mumbai may cost up to $50,000, while the same type of accommodation in a smaller city or rural area may cost just $10,000 or less," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to India.

"Lower than home. My area is around 1 lac; we pay less than most expats in Powai, and much more than most Indians. Our electrical bill is much lower than expats, but have my Indian friends falling over in shock," commented one expat who made the move to Mumbai, India.
