This meteoric rise took average rates in the city from INR 3,340 per sq. ft. in Q1 2020 to INR 6,600 per sq. ft. by Q1 2025-end. Close behind, Noida recorded a 92% price appreciation, while Gurugram saw an 84% jump, underscoring a broad-based resurgence in NCR’s real estate market.

Inventory Overhang Down to 17 Months

Backed by strong sales momentum and faster project completion cycles, the inventory overhang—which indicates how long it would take to sell existing stock—has fallen from a peak of 88 months to just 17 months by Q1 2025.


Luxury Housing Now Dominates New Launches

While affordable housing (below INR 40 lakh) was once the mainstay of NCR’s housing pipeline, recent years have seen a dramatic shift toward luxury and ultra-luxury segments.

  • Ultra-luxury homes (above INR 2.5 Cr.) accounted for 59% of new launches in 2024, up from just 4% in 2020.
  • Affordable housing’s share dropped to 11% in 2024, from 41% in 2022 and 47% in 2019.

Key Growth Corridors Identified

The ANAROCK report highlights several high-potential micro-markets for residential, commercial, and retail growth, including:

  • Sohna
  • New Gurgaon
  • Dwarka Expressway
  • Greater Noida West

These corridors are drawing investor interest due to improved infrastructure, metro connectivity, and proximity to employment hubs.


Conclusion: A Market in Transformation

Santhosh Kumar, Vice Chairman – ANAROCK Group, said:

“Greater Noida’s 98% appreciation in just five years and the overall reduction in unsold stock reflect NCR’s transformation. The region now stands tall as an attractive destination for investors and end-users alike.”

With regulatory support, infrastructure upgrades, and demand diversification, NCR’s real estate market is clearly moving toward a new era of sustained growth and premiumization.
