What makes South Delhi so popular among the rich and affluent?

Most of the localities mentioned above are in south Delhi. While most of Delhi is saturated and property prices for the existing stock are skyrocketing in the established areas, south Delhi remains a niche market. From second-generation businessmen to first-generation entrepreneurs and high salaried professionals, their desire to achieve a better standard of living leads them to prominent addresses by brands that promise quality, says Nishit Jalan, CEO, Grovy India Limited.

New constructions are also coming up. “
There are many projects under construction. Of these, some are being developed by the land owners themselves for self-use and some by regular developers. The luxury housing in its true sense is a very niche market and only a handful of developers work in this segment. Due to this, the availability of luxury projects is always limited as they cater to a very specific clientele,” Jalan adds.

The concept of boutique spaces has also gained focus. Although it has been around for a very long time, this concept was mainly used by the hospitality sector due to the specialised designing that it requires. Now, with the easy availability of design ideas and innovative materials, creating such boutique homes, with sophisticated ambience and custom-made luxurious spaces is an achievable reality. South Delhi is a very diverse region, as far as prices are concerned as the land size also varies from 100 sq yards to 1,200 sq yards. A well-constructed 200-sq yard floor should be available for upwards of Rs 3 crores, depending on the location, observes Jalan.

Meanwhile, traditional homes across south Delhi have also come into the market, either as part of redevelopment or renovation. The locality’s charm, central location, established neighbourhood and with the who’s who of Delhi in the vicinity, property prices run into crores.

Delhi luxury market flooded with distressed property options

The upcoming Akshaya Tritiya may or may not bring buyers back to the property market. However, the Delhi real estate market is currently flooded with distressed property sales, which have interested buyers with rich pockets. Farmhouse properties in Chattarpur and Sainik Farms – among the Delhi’s posh areasare being listed for sale almost every day. Most of these properties are in unauthorised locations which are supposed to get regularised in the future. According to Ravi Taxali, a property broker in New Friends Colony, the distressed properties have a price tag with up to 50% discount. Most of these listings are from NRIs or businessmen who are looking for liquidity.

Delhi’s luxury real estate in 2021

According to a recent report, out of 10,570 units launched in the NCR in the first six months of 2021, at least 17% (approximately 1,800 units) were in the luxury and ultra-luxury segments, which were priced more than Rs 1.5 crores. Interestingly, Noida accounted for the maximum share of such launches, followed by Gurgaon. With the luxury market in Delhi being mostly saturated and restricted to farmhouses and bungalows, the luxury segment in the NCR towns now includes apartments that have all modern furnishings and layouts designed by some of the big names including Gauri Khan and Suzzane Khan.

Earlier, research reports have indicated that in spite of the COVID-19 pandemic, those looking to buy a property are willing to test the waters. Kaustav Mandal, city-based broker says that luxury homes in south Delhi are garnering attention. “The jolt that the Coronavirus brought about, was temporary. Many resale deals were already on and have been completed, with a little delay though. Among those who had set their eyes on properties, about 85% of them have gone ahead with the deal,” he says.

Luxury properties in the resale market

Either due to the location or the cost, properties that qualify as ‘luxury’ in Delhi, are far more in the resale market now than new constructions. For new constructions, prospective home buyers generally move to the National Capital Region, where luxury homes are available at a far better entry prices than in the capital. In 2021, trend-watchers maintain that as the quality of infrastructure improves in Noida, there may be more takers. Noida and Gurgaon are now home to some of the big and reputed brands in the real estate industry.

Impact of circle rate deduction on luxury housing in Delhi

Ever since the circle rate reduction has been announced by the Delhi government, enquiries for independent housing, such as villas and bungalows, have seen a rise. “A 20% cut is an encouragement for many fence-sitting buyers. While sales had dipped due to Coronavirus pandemic, luxury housing saw active buyers, in spite of the odds. Now, this reduction comes as a boost,” says Jass Chawla, real estate agent in the city.

Industry players however say that there is further scope of rationalisation. Sotheby’s International Realty CEO Amit Goyal said that circle rates in Delhi should be rationalised as market prices are 30-40 per cent lower than the circle rates. According to him, luxury properties that are most demanded fall in the Rs 15-25 crore price bracket. Also, the pent-up demand for homes is being translated into sales now since everyone’s looking to upgrade their lifestyle without having to spend much on travelling to work and leisure.
