Real estate terms, norms, size, mechanism and characteristics not only differ across geography but across terrain in a specific geography too. Hill station real estate is a niche market while comparing to the market size of real estate in plains, it is almost negligible. Hence the available and trending online property portals are designed to cater the major real estate market in plains and cities. Are they fit to post hill property for sale? No The real estate terms, norms and property categories in hill station differ from the plains. Then how can these portals be suitable for the hill station real estate? For better understanding, altitude, climate, view from a property, gradient of a property, water source, accessibility, amenities like fire place, etc are vital terms of a hill property. Houses amid plantation, cottage, estate, view property, hill top property are unique property categories in hills while they are irrelevant in plains. The traditional property portals meant for plains either does not have facility to specify these terms pertaining to real estate in hills or does not give importance for them.
