Talking about the trend, Vishesh Prakash, Lead, R&R, says, “The real estate players and developers are leveraging this opportunity where the demand for residential realty has just shot up, and offering plans and schemes to attract more investors and buyers. In what can be termed as a rare phenomenon, recently, a newly-launched inventory was sold in a day, and saw buyers/investors queuing up for its allotments. This was unimaginable trend. On the part of consumers, guess the FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) is making many jump the gun, thereby, propelling developers to create newer opportunities and launch new projects. If all goes as anticipated, Gurugram is all set to script new records in the next fiscal.”
The new residential launches will be catering to various segments of the market, including luxury apartments, affordable housing, and integrated townships. Interestingly, this time around, the new launches are getting takers not because of any ‘hyped promises’, but because to visible infrastructural developments that have improved city’s connectivity, such as the expansion of highways, metro rail connectivity, and the development of peripheral roads. These initiatives have enhanced the city’s internal as well as external accessibility, and are driving the real estate growth not just within the city, but also its adjacent areas.
