Gurugram: The real estate prices of houses in Gurugram have risen to an average of 76 percent in the past two years driven by high demand and expectation for more homes. The newly released Prop Index Report by Magic Bricks reveals an average price of Rs 14,650 per sq ft, 15.5% up in the last quarter alone (July to September in the fictitious year 2024).

Mr. Gaurav K Singh, Founder & MD, Womeki Group, “As we embrace the vibrant festival season in India, the real estate market is experiencing a notable transformation. Recent trends reveal a shift in buyer preferences toward spacious homes that offer a blend of comfort and functionality. With remote work becoming a lasting reality, many are seeking properties that accommodate their evolving lifestyles, favoring amenities like home offices and communal spaces. Additionally, attractive financing options and festive discounts create a sense of urgency, prompting many to take the leap into homeownership. Many eager homebuyers wait for this period, motivated by the festive spirit and the desire to invest in new beginnings. real estate developers recognize this enthusiasm and often roll out attractive deals, catering to investors, end users, and channel partners alike. These incentives aim to make homeownership more accessible and appealing, offering prospective buyers additional financial benefits and added value to enhance their festive season. The festival season is not just about celebration; it’s a strategic moment in the real estate market that fosters investment, innovation, and community growth.”

This growth pattern can be accrued mainly to a major infrastructure factor led by the successful construction of Dwarka Expressway. Housing sectors in Gurugram and newer sectors, in particular, have become more attractive to home buying as this major project has helped to increase connectivity between the two cities. While core Gurugram locations remain steep in rates these emerging sectors are gaining attention for affordable prices in housing, especially around central business districts.

Mr. Viren Mehta, Director, ElitePro Infra said, “The Gurugram real estate market has shown remarkable resilience, with property prices increasing by 76% over the past two years. This surge highlights the strong demand for housing, especially in key areas that offer enhanced infrastructure and connectivity. While the supply of residential units has also grown, the rising prices reflect sustained investor confidence and the premium that buyers are willing to pay for quality homes. Developers must now focus on balancing supply and affordability, ensuring that the market remains attractive for both homebuyers and investors alike.”

The report also pointed out that the prices have risen sharply and despite the demand for residential units going up a decent 9.9 percent QoQ, while new supply coming in at a much faster pace of 18.3 percent QoQ, thanks to an increase in the number of new listings and new project launches in the quarter.

Mr. Ashish Agarwal, Director, AU Real estate – Over the last 2 years, we have witnessed an unprecedented surge in home prices in Delhi NCR, driven primarily by the region’s ongoing infrastructure development. The enhancements in connectivity and accessibility have not only elevated the desirability of NCR as a residential destination but have also stimulated significant interest from homebuyers. As we approach the festive quarter, we anticipate continued growth in housing sales, as consumers seek to make meaningful investments during this auspicious time.

Also, there is high demand of ready to move apartments, prices have gone up to 12.9 percent quarter on quarter to Rs 13,729/ sq ft, and under-construction apartment prices have gone up to 17.3 percent quarter on quarter to Rs 16,180/ sq ft.

This report factually shows that 3 BHK units are the most in-demand, taking the majority with 66% of the total share. The average price for these units has increased by 21.6 percent in the last quarter which is at Rs 14,600 per square feet. End-user interest is inclined towards upcoming apartment micro-markets like the Dwarka Expressway where the average residential rate was Rs 14,800 against Rs 12,600 in New Gurgaon and Rs 17,000 in Golf Course Extension.

The Dwarka Expressway along with New Gurgaon and SPR has become the most searched area for real estates, as the report identifies. This change signifies a rise in interest in the real estate market in Gurugram connecting the city as a key player to the Delhi NCR real estate market.

Mr. Santosh Agarwal, CFO and Executive Director of Alphacorp, “The impressive 76% surge in residential prices across Gurugram over the past two years is a clear reflection of the region’s growing demand and strong market fundamentals. Gurugram has transformed into a key real estate destination, attracting both end-users and investors, driven by infrastructural advancements, improved connectivity, and the influx of multinational corporations. This price appreciation also mirrors the rising aspirations for luxury and high-end properties. We view this as a pivotal time to continue enhancing our project offerings with cutting-edge amenities and sustainable designs to meet the evolving needs of discerning buyers. Additionally, Gurugram’s growth trajectory aligns with broader economic trends, making it a robust investment hub for the future.

The completion of significant infrastructure projects, particularly the Dwarka Expressway, has enhanced connectivity to Delhi, attracting a growing number of residents. This influx has driven residential demand, pushing prices upward, especially in core areas. As the housing supply increases, newer sectors are emerging, offering quality residential options while still maintaining proximity to major business districts. Moreover, as infrastructure continues to develop, Gurugram’s appeal is set to grow, , further solidifying its position as a prime destination for homebuyers seeking both convenience and value.”

Budget 2024: What do different industries and sectors expect from finance minister

New Delhi: From Real estate to hygiene, startups, and infrastructure experts are expressing their desire for a budget that promotes growth, provides relief in taxation, and improves the economy. Various sector and industry experts are looking forward to the announcements and expect some positive changes.

Gaurav K Singh, Founder & Chairman, Womeki Group, “To empower first-time homebuyers, we support lowering long-term capital gains taxes, lowering income taxes on second houses, and making a strong argument for interest subsidies. Furthermore, a little change in the GST on building materials like steel and cement could indirectly support the real estate sector by lowering developer input prices and, subsequently, overall building expenses.”

Pravin Dubey, Founder, Webclixs feels that digital infrastructure and skills should be given high priority in this year’s interim budget to promote startups, adopt AI, and make it fully monitored by the government. The incidence of cyber attacks is continuously increasing, making it one of the biggest threats facing enterprises today. “It would be welcome if the Budget focuses on incentivizing companies involved in cyber security and increasing awareness among people about it. We hope the government will take cognizance of this and increase spending on the digital industry.”

Shilpi Gupta, Co-Founder of Washcraft envisions a transformative landscape for women entrepreneurs, especially in the dynamic sector of the laundry industry. She is hopeful that the upcoming Budget should resonate with a commitment to build a future where women-led laundry companies become symbols of inspiration, driving economic progress and social change

“A visionary budget should lay the foundation for a laundry industry sector where women entrepreneurs are coming forward, driving innovation, inclusivity, and economic growth. By aligning resources and incentives toward this approach, we can create a business environment that not only uplifts women entrepreneurs but propels the entire industry to new heights of success,” Gupta added.

Venket Rao, an RERA Expert & Founder, of Intygrat (A corporate Law Firm) says “The government’s interventions in the real estate sector not only have a financial impact on home buying but also serve as a reinforcement of regulatory frameworks. Over the years, the real estate industry has seen some important regulatory changes that have not only addressed various violations but have also fostered trust in the real estate business, which has been steadily rising in recent years. The sector wishes for measures to stimulate demand to strengthen its pivotal role in India’s economic landscape. The sector firmly believes that the budget will provide the necessary impetus for its continued growth and development. The real estate sector recognizes the importance of intensified execution of the amendments to further elevate transparency and ensure the industry’s integrity. The government’s support in this regard is crucial. With government interventions and regulations, the sector aims to shield itself from fraud and delays, ultimately contributing to a more robust and trustworthy real estate market.”
