Luxury Real Estate Market Booms in Delhi

New Delhi, India: The upscale residential colony of Sunder Nagar has witnessed a significant transaction, with a 900 square yard bungalow selling for nearly Rs 100 crore. This sale marks a new high for the luxury housing market in Delhi, which has seen a surge in demand in recent years.

The bungalow, owned by Sunil and Ravi Sachdev, was sold through CBRE, a leading real estate consultancy firm. Sunder Nagar has long been a coveted residential address in central Delhi, attracting top lawyers, judges, bureaucrats, and businessmen. The sale of this luxury bungalow follows a similar high-profile transaction in Gurugram earlier this year. A 10,813 square foot apartment in DLF The Camellias sold for Rs 95 crore, setting a new record for residential property prices in the Delhi NCR region.

Luxury home sales have seen a remarkable increase across major Indian cities in recent years. In Delhi-NCR, sales of luxury homes (priced Rs 4 crore and above) surged by 72% in the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The increased demand for luxury housing can be attributed to several factors, including a growing preference among affluent buyers for enhanced amenities and more spacious living spaces. The rising aspirational class and the influx of NRI and domestic investors have also contributed to the heightened demand for luxury residences.

Industry experts predict continued growth in the luxury real estate market, with Delhi-NCR leading the way. The region offers a wide range of luxury properties, including high-rise apartments, villas, and penthouses, catering to the diverse needs and preferences of affluent buyers. As the Indian economy continues to grow and the disposable income of the affluent class increases, the demand for luxury housing is expected to remain strong. This presents significant opportunities for developers and investors in the luxury real estate segment.
