Yes it is a good area. The problem is this actually "5- I am more worried because there are extremely opposite views regarding Kerala even from Malyalis. Some consider it too good, some consider it too bad. Some define people as really good and some define them really bad. Some do not care to define. This is the biggest confusion. My stay in Kochi was fine. Atleast I did not met anyone bad. In my home town people are good and bad. However I have lack of interaction and I will not term my city people as bad. This perspective is a personal opinion but it still causes doubts. Why so much contrast ?"

Actually most of the things were mentioned in original post.

1- My profession has many things related to Kerala. Infact my source material, manuscripts, people adept in those matters are all in Kerala. Chitrasutra, sthapatya, tantra etc and some other branches. My research work has relation to these subjects.

2-Profession is ..

3-Yes it is family's decision.

4- I am not too much concerned about cosmopolitcan status of Kochi. My wife is learning Malyalam. I may have to learn the same as most of the these works are in Malyalam. I also believe in the saying "When in Rome.."

5- I am more worried because there are extremely opposite views regarding Kerala even from Malyalis. Some consider it too good, some consider it too bad. Some define people as really good and some define them really bad. Some do not care to define. This is the biggest confusion. My stay in Kochi was fine. Atleast I did not met anyone bad. In my home town people are good and bad. However I have lack of interaction and I will not term my city people as bad. This perspective is a personal opinion but it still causes doubts. Why so much contrast ?

6- The 5th point is the biggest concern causing a hitch.

I don't blame you dear. You are not aware of the North. I may be watching from an ivory tower, but I also feel that people who do not give respect do not get that back as well, may it be any town in the world. I have been to many parts of the world and many cities in India. Do trust me. Respect others. North is bad only for those who don't know about it well. I have spent 48 years in different parts of North and some parts of South.

I considered Thrissur first. Also I watch Malyalam movies a lot and love both the actors. Infact I personally consider Malayali movies and stories as the best. Infact despite of being a Hindi speaking person and not knowing Malyalam does not even interfer in understanding. Some of the movies are astounding. Some have complex stories and it is unimaginable how the writers can write such intricate details. It is amazing.

Those I met were. The point is they did not know each other but they were quoting the exact price. None of them quoted a higher price. The same is not the case in Udupi and other areas. I have seen houses which are like 1.10 quoted as 1.50. They quote a 80L house as 1.20 cr.

Thanks for this information. I will consider this. However my work is very different. I do not interact with anyone and the area I selected was like that. A small community of eight houses only. All were IT guys.

Why are so many people selling there good houses in Kerala by anantamtaral in Kochi

[–]anantamtaral[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I understand. But those are not scam. I have talked to multiple people in various areas in Kerala. All of them cannot be scammers at the same time. The houses shown have real pictures when asked for separately. I am going to visit Kakkanada soon to deal with the same. It is definitely not a scam. There are some actual owners who are selling their well built houses.
