This growth will likely encompass both residential and commercial sectors. The luxury housing market is also expected to perform well.

With a significant decline in unsold inventory Gurugram’s real estate market has displayed strong demand in recent years, with. A report by a leading consultant shows a remarkable 27% decrease in unsold housing units in Gurugram during 2023 alone. Looking ahead, the anticipated high demand fueled by the Dwarka Expressway opening is likely to lead to a further reduction in unsold properties. We can expect a surge in new launches, including both residential and commercial projects. In fact, we see a huge possibility of Dwarka Expressway emerging as a major hub for both residential and commercial development not just in Gurugram, but in the entire NCR region.

Residential transaction in Gurugram increases by 10%

Rapid growth of the Dwarka Expressway, increased availability of RTM homes, and the involvement of reputable builders boosted inquiries

According to a recent study by 99acres.com, residential transactions in Gurugram increased by more than 10% due to spillover demand from the previous quarter and developers’ flexible payment schemes. Due to the limited number of new home buyers in the market, residential enquiries in Gurgaon fell by about 15% QoQ in January-March 2021.

“Gurugram has a high job potential, based on its consistently improving ranking because both the service and manufacturing sectors are thriving. Many reputable builders and developers are bringing groundbreaking residential and commercial projects to this area. There are developments where buyers can enjoy green acres away from the pollution of the area,” says Pawan Sharma, Director, Value Homz.

According to the Proptiger.com data, the city saw the launch of 448 units in Rs 3-5 crore, nine units above Rs 7 crore, and 300 launches in Rs 1-3 crore. In 2020, Gurugram was the only city among the trio cities of NCR (Gurugram, Noida, Greater Noida), which has launched projects in Rs 3-5 crore and above Rs 7 crore. The data also revealed that maximum launches in the last four years were in Rs 1-3 crore with Gurugram having 5992 units, which is way higher than other areas of NCR.

“South Gurugram’s bright future is assured by its expanding infrastructure and proximity to major corporations. South Gurugram would be the most desired address for millennial homebuyers looking for luxury flats in Gurugram, as it ranks high on several primary livability index parameters. South Gurugram is, of course, an appealing choice for people who want to enjoy the facilities of a modern city without being subjected to the city’s cacophony,” says Pradeep Aggarwal, Founder & Chairman, Signature Global Group and Chairman, ASSOCHAM- National Council on Real Estate, Housing and Urban Development.

The rapid growth of the Dwarka Expressway, increased availability of ready houses, and the involvement of reputable builders, according to 99acres.com, boosted inquiries in residential Sectors 102-115 along the stretch. Housing plots were also in demand, but resale homes priced between Rs 1 crore and Rs 1.5 crore drew nearly 60% of the demand in Gurugram.

“The majority of buyers in this sector choose a two-bedroom setup, which accounts for more than half of all sales. Dwarka Expressway is also close to the current Gurugram-Manesar-Bawal Metro Project and the Delhi-Alwar Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS). This is the lifeline for those who live in Dwarka and work in Gurugran. Developers have invested over Rs 60,000 crore in residential and commercial projects along the 150-meter-wide expressway. The Dwarka Expressway’s construction has been a boon to the real estate sector, facilitating the Gurugram area’s long-term growth. The completion of the stretch would reduce travel time between New Delhi and Haryana while also providing world-class opportunities for the region’s expected commercial and urban growth,” says Nagaraju Routhu, CEO, Hero Realty.

The 99acres report says, Because of the news about the removal of the Khekri Daula Toll Plaza, ample residential options, and proximity to the Southern Peripheral Road and NH-8, New Gurgaon and Golf Course Road Extension remained prominent. Residential apartments in the areas were marketed at around Rs 7,000-11,000 per sq ft on average. “In this region, property prices have steadily increased. For example, the prices of newly launched projects were around Rs 2275 in 2010, but currently, prices are hovering around Rs 6,500. Prices will certainly increase as the area’s infrastructure improves; it’s difficult to estimate, but historical data provides a clear indicator of the future,” adds Vikas Garg, Deputy Managing Director, MRG World.

By Rajat Goel, Joint MD, MRG World

Situated on Dwarka Expressway, Sector 106 is an upcoming sector that largely encompasses under-construction apartment projects by reputed developers. Centrally located, it is well connected to NH 8 and IGI Airport. At present, sector 106 of Dwarka Expressway is a low-density population area. Rated highly on environment, commuting & places of interest, this sector has all the basic amenities like hospitals, schools, colleges and markets are available nearby. Sector 103, 105, 109 and Babupur Village, closely surround the sector.

Almost 45% sale in this sector takes place in the price range of ₹80Lac – ₹1.8Cr, and around 50% sale is for the 3 BHK units. The average price of apartments is around ₹6500.

After the pandemic, the demand for affordable went up as even fence-sitters entered the market to buy homes. The lockdown turned out to be a blessing in disguise for real estate, especially the affordable housing segment; and this sector that has majority of the units in upper middle-class segment is now witnessing projects in the affordable segment. The sector is turning out to be a perfect location for affordable homes as the buyers of affordable units look for places that do not make them face commutation problem.

It is important to know the buyer’s pulse, especially, when catering to affordable housing; the realtors have understood the difficulties a middle-class family faces in affording EMI and rents simultaneously in case of the delayed project scenario. The resolve of the developers to stick to affordable housing got attestation from the reality that the demand for affordable went up when the global pandemic hit everyone hard. There are plans for affordable projects in this sector, and developers on this stretch are ensuring that the cost of units and the location remains within reach of the target buyers.

NCR market registers a rise in demand and variety of luxury homes

By Mr. Amit Thakran, Director, Value Homz

The luxury continues to redefine itself with changing times; the definition depends on the prevalent social ecosystem. Similar is the case now when a global pandemic continues to loom and dominate our lifestyle choices, buyers of luxury spaces the UHNI and HNI are seeking homes that provide sustainable luxury and a promise of wellness and security. Be-spoke experiences, multi-functional spaces, integrated home technology systems have come to be classified as mandatory requisites from luxury buyers. These buyers are now more conscious about entering into an agreement with reputed brands to have complete assurance of their investments made.

One of the country’s major real estate markets – Delhi-NCR, has witnessed distinguished luxury realtors constantly looking to upsize their offerings due to the pent up demand and low home loan interest rates.  This has led to never seen before variety in the kinds of homes available for buyers-from modern villas, penthouses to townhouses and bespoke apartments. As per recent research by Anarock, the NCR market in 2020 saw luxury housing sales better than 2019; 23,220 units were sold in which the luxury segment had a percentage of 4%, while in 2019, this was close to 3% of 46,910 units sold. This conveys a ray of positivity for the luxury developers.

The same report also highlighted that Gurugram in NCR had seen maximum housing sales and launches in 2020. This trend can be attributed to the fact that the city has one of the largest numbers of white-collar workers, with a homogeneous mix of industries. Adding on to it, development of new areas and improved infrastructure like Sohna Road, Dwarka Expressway, Manesar, and New Gurugram have also played a vital role in attracting the big names of the real estate market to come and construct their unique edifices here.

These newly developed areas on the peripheries have also proven to be a lucrative choice for the buyers and investors due to the availability of untapped resources, far from the clutter of the dense city. The lifestyle and quality of homes promised here in the luxury segment are becoming the selling points. In order to continue this positive trend of sales, circle rates in Delhi NCR should be rationalized as market prices are 30-40% lower than the circle rates. NCR Developers and the real estate associations have also written to the Government for reducing stamp duty like states of Maharashtra and Karnataka have done.

If a measure like stamp duty reduction is introduced for the Delhi NCR market, regions like Gurugram will bring significant growth in the overall economy, where demand for luxury housing is at an all time high and ample availability of luxury inventory already exists.
