How Luxury Property Prices in Gurgaon Have Changed in 5 Years
If you bought a luxury apartment in Gurgaon five years ago, congratulations, you’re sitting on gold.
Between 2019 and 2024, the luxury property market in Gurgaon has gone from land to landmarks. Whether buying your first property, investing actively in real estate, or just having a casual interest, something is evident: Gurgaon stopped being just a corporate zone long ago; it is fast becoming a luxury real estate area.
A look has been given to where the prices started and moved on to where they stand to date, and why we feel it is the best moment to make a move.
2019: The Calm Before the Storm
The year 2019 saw an intense yet stable luxury-promulgating real estate market in Gurgaon.
Average price for luxury properties: ₹7500 per square foot.
✔️ The hotspots: Golf Course Road, DLF I to V, and Sector 42.
✔️ Buyer profile: Mostly domestic HNIs, corporate CXOs, and some interest from NRIs.
✔️ Market sentiment: It was optimistically cautious post-RERA with the GST reforms.
Big players like DLF, M3M, and Elan were even now heavily invested; the price storming, however, was yet to wash over.
2020–2021: Pandemic Pause, Followed by a Surge
When COVID hit in early 2020, everything slowed down, including real estate.
✔️ Prices in 2020: Flat, or might have gone down just a bit to ₹6150 per square foot.
✔️ Buyer activity: It took a steep fall during lockdowns.
✔️ Rental: It also took a hit, particularly for the premium segment.
But here’s what nobody expected: 2021 brought a massive bounce-back. Remote work made people value spacious, well-located homes. Ultra-luxury apartments with open terraces, home offices, and wellness zones became the norm.
2021 prices: ₹16,250 per square foot.
Key trend: NRI buyers returned in a big way.
2022–2023: The Boom Gets Real
By 2022, Gurgaon was on fire, in a good way.
What’s Driving the Boom?
✔️ Infrastructure upgrades like the Dwarka Expressway and the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway were progressing.
✔️ Builders' launch of super-luxury projects by DLF, Smartworld, and M3M.
✔️ Investor confidence was backed by strong returns and rental demand.
Some top-tier projects were even selling at ₹18,000 to ₹22,000 per square foot, especially in areas like:
✔️ Golf Course Road
✔️ Sector 65 to 70 (Golf Course Extension)
✔️ Sector 113 (Dwarka Expressway belt)
Did You Know?
According to Anarock’s 2023 report, Gurgaon accounted for over 40% of NCR’s luxury home sales.
2024: New Projects, New Highs
As of mid-2024, the luxury property graph hasn’t flattened; it’s still pointing north.
Super-luxury homes can go beyond ₹25,000 per square foot in branded residences.
Builders like DLF and M3M were setting new benchmarks.
Did You Know: DLF achieved a milestone with the completion of 400 residences with starting prices of Rs 80,000 per sq. ft.
Top Localities
✔️ Golf Course Road
✔️ Golf Course Extension
✔️ Sector 113 (Dwarka Expressway area)
✔️ DLF Phase V
Why Were Prices Climbing?
✔️ Three words: Demand, Scarcity, and Prestige.
✔️ Limited Supply: Gurgaon’s top sectors are close to saturation. Very few new projects, but demand remains much stronger.
✔️ Rental Yields: The luxury apartment here offers 3 to 4 percent rental yields, which is higher than that offered in many metros.
✔️ Demand from NRI & HNI: Global money is flowing into this space, owing to a stable rupee, better returns, and the growth of the luxury lifestyle in India.
✔️ Premium-First: DLF, Smartworld, M3M, and Birla projects are something more than just homes-with prestige attached to them.
Is This a Bubble?
Not really. While prices have grown fast, they’re backed by actual end-user demand, not just speculation.
Plus, with metro expansions, expressways, global schools, and luxury retail zones like One Horizon Center and Ambience Mall, Gurgaon has become a complete luxury ecosystem.
Who’s Buying?
✔️ Young CXOs and startup founders invested in their forever homes.
✔️ NRIs wanted to come back to a lifestyle, not just a house.
✔️ Investors were betting on 5 to 10 years of appreciation.
✔️ High-income professionals looking to upgrade from mid-premium to ultra-luxury.
