Need help buying a house in Ratnagiri

\*\*Posting this in Mumbai sub as there are a lot of people here who have first or second homes in Kokan. I have a remote job and now planning to buy a house. Initially the plan was Pune or Navi Mumbai but all I can see in these cities is construction everywhere, pollution and population issues. I don't mind the migration of people to these cities but the development speed is unable to keep up with it resulting in so many issues. Now I am leaning towards Ratnagiri as I think I can get good bungalows for good prices and well I would always prefer a bungalow to an apartment in tier 1 or 2 city. Looking from the outside it seems like Ratnagiri would be a really good option but I would like to hear from you folks too. Should I consider Ratnagiri for buying a house? Any suggestions regarding the prime locations or any good real estate agents that I can talk to. Any tips/suggestions or feedback would be highly appreciated. For context I am a Chiplunkar but born and brought up in Mumbai and currently living in Pune on temporary basis. I am house hunting for myself and my parents and this will be my first home so want to target prime locations in Ratnagiri.
