REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, SEMARANG -- A number of property developers expect the increasing property price as an impact of fuel price increase.
According to Chairman of Association of Real Estate Companies (REI) in Semarang MR Priyanto, the fuel price increase and property price will increase simultaneously 10 percent. Yet, the prospect has driven the increasing house sale at REI Exhibition a few days ago.
