On Bhoomi, every advertisement goes online with a price since it's easier for a customer to search for advertisements according to his/her requirements (specially the budget). Therefore, you need to specify the price for your property. If your prices change from time to time, you can mention it in "Detailed Description" area. If your price depends on the Buyer, we suggest you to put the Maximum expected price and mention "Negotiable".
