Gurgaon Real Estate Market Still Safe to Invest in 2026?

[00:00:00]Hi Namaskar, welcome to Primalan Property, your own YouTube channel where product reviews are given. Real estate market updates are provided. All the things will reach you in notifications if you have subscribed to my channel. If you have not subscribed then definitely subscribe so that all the innovative videos can reach you. So today this video is completely different. Today in this video I am going to tell you neither about any particular builder nor about any particular product.

[00:00:30]Rather today this video is about Gurgaon real estate update. New launches are coming and what happens after that? This hype that is created, this FOMO that is created, this stage of EOI that is created, so where do the builders stand today.

[00:00:48]Where you will find many videos about Gurgaon real estate market crash. Today I am going to tell you the actual fact about where builders stand today. Where is the Gurgaon real estate market actually located? So the Gurgaon real estate market is not such a market that I would say will crash suddenly. Those who are making videos on Gurgaon real estate crash, I don't think they are making them on the basis of 100% correct data. Maybe some people may not like that thing but I am going to make the video on the basis of whatever facts and figures I have collected from the internet.

[00:01:28]Today in 2026, many such launches have taken place. Even if I say from the end of 2025, many launchers came and many of them failed as quickly as they went. There is a slowdown in the market. That's absolutely correct. But it is not that the market crashed suddenly. Because Gurgaon real estate can stabilize, can slow down but it cannot crash. The crash will happen when the rates get deducted by 40 to 50%.

[00:02:04]I will call it a crash only when apartments worth Rs 5-5 crore start being available for Rs 2-2.5 crore.

[00:02:09]That is not going to happen at all.

[00:02:11]Yes, new launches are failing. That is the truth due to the slowdown. As Gurgaon real estate takes a pause. There is a slowdown. After that it moves forward very fast.

[00:02:24]I have been watching this market since 2010.

[00:02:27]Since 2010, I have worked with different real estate developer firms. After that I formed my own company and I have seen so many ups and downs in the market. Yes, slowdown came in 2012-13, everyone knows how the slowdown came. Corrections were made in the properties. But there have always been some properties which have gradually moved upwards. For the best example, be it DLF Magnolias or Camellias, the prices gradually increased and see where the prices have reached today. I would hardly say that there is any such property in super luxury, mainly there would be a property which was worth Rs 20 crore and people would have sold it for Rs 18 crore by booking a loss. It was not so. The property worth Rs 20 crore has increased to Rs 70 crore-80 crore today. After Covid, such a market definitely came where there was a lot of hype, a lot of FOMO was created and so many cheques were sold overnight that the builders made a lot of money out of it. There was a lot of silver.

[00:03:37]They were earning a lot. And now what has happened is that when the market has slowed down, even the best builders are a little hesitant in doing new launches. There are three to four main reasons behind it, which I want to tell you. The first reason was that when investor driven buying happens, the entire market automatically slows down or stops for a certain period. I would call it investor driven buying because those who had a budget of Rs 10 crore.

[00:04:13]Right? The budget was Rs 10 crore.

[00:04:17]What he did was that he bought around 10 properties by paying ₹2 crore. So instead of 10 CR, he took properties worth 20 CR or 30 CR because he had to pay that much.

[00:04:29]Somewhere 1 crore, somewhere 1.5 crore, somewhere 2 crore. What is happening today is that they are looking for buyers. So, the property which had a valuation of Rs 30 crore, they had expected that the property would be valued at Rs 70 crore and they would book profit. But that did not happen. There were some properties that were beaten down. Like Godrej's extension node project, let me tell you, it completely flopped.

[00:04:53]Similarly, MR MRS completely flopped. But there were some properties which gradually increased in price and have reached a good premium today.

[00:05:02]I am talking about DLF The Arbor.

[00:05:05]I'm talking about Allen Presidential.

[00:05:07]I would like to talk about MR's Urban Oasis, where the premium has increased from Rs 2030 lakh to Rs 1 crore today.

[00:05:15]Depends upon the size of the unit. And if I talk about DLF The Arbor, even today you can get a premium of Rs 3.5-4 crore to Rs 6.5 crore in DLF The Arbor.

[00:05:25]He is an exception in himself. Same happened with Alan President. People bought it at a rate of around Rs 12,000. Today people are exiting at different prices like 17, 17, 18, 19,000. There has been a slight correction in the resale market.

[00:05:44]Where the price reached 18, 19,000 as announced by the President 6 months ago.

[00:05:50]Today some panic sellers are trying to sell it for Rs 17,000. The reason is what I told you because of investor driven buying.

[00:06:01]Not end user driven buying, but investor driven buying. Instead of buying something for Rs 10 crore, someone bought it for Rs 20 crore, someone bought it for Rs 50 crore. Now they want to get exit.

[00:06:12]Next was your point FOMO Launches [suddenly heavy breathing sound] C fear of loss which was created, the builders used to get EUI cheques from us in advance and only a few of us used to get allotments.

[00:06:29]I am talking about DL of the R Harbour.

[00:06:31]I am talking about DLF Privana South.

[00:06:33]I am talking about DLF Privana West.

[00:06:35]I speak of MR URBAN OSS.

[00:06:37]I speak of Mr. and Mrs. Even third class projects like Godrej Aristocrat where people used to stand in queues. They kept making us run around with cheques and we got only a handful of units in the allotment. But what happened?

[00:06:55]Some projects gave very good premiums.

[00:06:58]Some projects have flopped and some projects have received a small premium.

[00:07:02]So I will add this point to the FOMO that he created. What did investors do when they created the EoI rush? Even to some extent end users also used to approach us and ask us what guarantee do you have that you will be able to provide the unit. Such questions were raised because who has how much contact with the builder? How is it? So many stories were told. So many truths and lies were told. At the end of the day the builder would take the cream off it. He used to calculate the price range in that manner and on day one, day two, day three, he used to play the entire drum of all sold, brother, all sold.

[00:07:42]Right? The same thing happened when DLF Privana South came up. A rate of around ₹13,14,000 was expected. But the price came and varied between Rs 16,000, 17,000, 18,000. Depends upon the unit. The reason is that we had already picked up the cheques 6X times 7X times.

[00:08:04]Due to which what happened was that the builder felt that now he could easily sell it at a higher price. MR who could never have imagined that so many cheques would come for his project.

[00:08:17]So what did they do? He got the EOI cheques lifted from the market in advance and he came to know that the cheque had been lifted 10x times, at that time he was feeling happy that at least brother, even after giving the cheques to those who did not have 50%, the market was moving upwards very fast.

[00:08:55]What is happening today is that the premium in MR Urban has reached between Rs 2530 lakh to Rs 1 crore and the same was seen, then in MR MRS also the MR did the same drama and did not give allotments. The same lottery system E &Y and even today MR MRS is a big flop builder still gets a few units every now and then.

[00:09:19]No significant premium has been raised there as of today. So the drama of EOY, which was of Rush, and FOMO of the Launches, both were running simultaneously in parallel.

[00:09:29]And that is why prices which should have been ₹ 18,000 went up to ₹24-25,000. I will give the best example of Christmas. Chrisumi launched its different phases and the price of the product it is selling today has touched Rs 25,26,000. Where the pay rate today should not have been above 18, 20, 21,000.

[00:09:52]Because of this, he also did not get many cheques. The project that Shobha brought on extension note was priced at Rs 24,000 plus PLC plus GST. In this way, she increased the prices to Rs 26-27,000. And what happened next?

[00:10:09]Some front facing units were sold.

[00:10:11]He still has the back facing units.

[00:10:13]Today, people are able to sell only 30 to 40% of the inventories in the launches.

[00:10:20]They are gradually selling the remaining units or maybe they show on the board that their target of all sold is only 20-25% and because of this they become very happy that at least something has been sold. Even now, in the BPPTP project that came, with a handful of cheques, those people were very happy that so many EOI cheques have come to us.

[00:10:41]So these were the two reasons for you becoming very hyped. Another thing was the high return expectations of investors, which I have already told you. 10 crores had to be invested. Invested Rs 30 crore.

[00:10:55]His expectation was to get Rs 70 crore. And what happened is that as of today, they are slowly releasing the goods that are stuck with them.

[00:11:04]So, they are barely able to do the thing worth Rs 10 crores and manage it for only Rs 15 or 16 crores.

[00:11:10]Because somewhere they are coming out at least premium. Somewhere the goods are coming out at a premium. And they are stopping at the place where they are getting the actual premium because they know that this product will give them good returns and maximum returns. So whether I talk about the golf course extension note or even Godrej's launches extension note or golf course note, they too are not able to give a very good response as of today.

[00:11:35]Right, whether I talk about the projects of Amethum in Dwarka Expressway or even talk about the GIC which brought Amethum where the price should have been Rs. 6000-7000, by giving buyback guarantee, GIC brought it at such a higher price that the whole world is trying to buy it.

[00:11:55]All the brokers have their entire team sitting there. I am putting in my full energy. Similarly, Signature Global also launched its 37D and sold a few units at SPR.

[00:12:09]Everything else flops. So overall I want to say that the real estate market of NCR has definitely slowed down a bit. But she is not dead. It hasn't crashed.

[00:12:22]If someone tells you this then it is actually a myth or you can say that he has just done a misinterpretation.

[00:12:32]If you want to invest, if you are wondering where to enter as an investor, then the resale market is the best at present to go. Be it under construction projects or ready to move in projects, you should look at the resale market in comparison to the new launches. If the builder comes up with a good attractive payment plan. If the developer comes with a good price and that too a run builder, a listed builder, only then I would say that you should go. Otherwise resale market is the best where you have to pay only 30%, 40% or 50% and you will get the unit as per your choice. Right? The remaining super luxury projects which are coming or are about to come will definitely be sold. Whether I talk about Oberoi or DLF, they come and the 1%, 2% people who have multi-investment options to showcase their companies or to make real estate investments, they make such investments worth Rs 6070 crore, Rs 100 crore every year. So it will be easy for them to invest. And that is why such projects which are coming up or whether I talk about DLF Senior Living or Oberoi 360 North or whatever DLF is planning on Golf Course Road or even Extension Road, definitely it will sell with good hype, DLF the recent is the best example where even today DLF is selling the units at figures as per their choice. So there is a separate audience for super luxury 50 plus and 60 plus.

[00:14:10]I cannot compare it with today's market. The middle class can hardly afford anything between 3 CR to 10 CR.

[00:14:21]Today, during the slowdown, he should concentrate on only one thing and that is the resale market. This is my calculation.

[00:14:29]Whatever I have gathered till now or whatever I have seen the ups and downs of the entire projects, whatever I have concluded on that basis, I have told you in this video.
