IS GURGAON LUXURY HOUSE BOOM A REAL GROWTH OR A SPECULATIVE BUBBLE WAITING TO BURST?

We all know that Gurgaon is overflowing with real estate developments and a luxury housing market. In the past few years, premium housing and having a home on premium addresses have become the norm for people, especially NRIs and HNIs. In 2025, 28 luxury project launches took place in Gurgaon, resulting in an overflow of opulent projects in the market. All of these projects are commanding high prices, with some selling out within a short time, marking a significant surge in luxury real estate investment in the booming city of Gurgaon. But is it real growth?

SOCIAL MEDIA WARS

Many social media influencers have fired criticism over the booming real estate in Gurgaon, calling it “a house of cards” on the verge of collapse. There are many red flags, like an ongoing liquidity crunch, speculative trading, and a surge in investor-driven demand. However, many brokers have struck back, saying that yes, there are traders in the market, but painting the whole city with the same brush is unfair, calling the criticism an act of jealousy as Gurgaon takes the spotlight.

A FEAR DUE TO INVESTOR-DRIVEN MARKET

Netizens are having online discussions on social media platforms regarding the investor-driven market, fearing that the investor-driven market is increasing the prices in the market, making the surge of actual buyers low, and it may go to zero in the future. Some question the construction quality, while some show concern regarding the city being expensive and not suitable for middle-class people.

WHAT IS HAPPENING?

In the past couple of years, several projects in Gurgaon have been 100% sold out, i.e., 100% subscribed to the offerings, not necessarily fully paid. Some people invest around 30-40% of the total amount and take exit from the investment after a certain appreciation to invest in other projects. This move is becoming less common nowadays as the property rates are rising, making the initial investment way too high.

IS IT BAD FOR THE MARKET?

So far, the real estate market of Gurgaon is on the rise, where some projects are being used just for the purpose of investments while others are being a full home as people chase the luxury lifestyle. Although the prices are high, they are not yet more than what they should be, so the demand is rising. Price corrections will occur once this demand slows down or the prices go way up what is needed, till then, Gurgaon Market is on the rise.
