To those who want to buy 2 BHK flats in Gurgaon there is good news and bad news. The good news is
that the price of flats in the Millennium is dropping, the bad news is that the
size of flats in Gurgaon is being reduced as well.
Developers are trying to counter the rising price of land in
Gurgaon by building smaller units. Builders and developers in Gurgaon
are trying to target middle-income bracket households who builders believe are
in the right segment to purchase the new 2 BHK units being built.
Why Build Cheaper Units Now?
One reason why less expensive units are being built today is that
builders have begun to respond to the rising uproar from buyers with respect to
the skyrocketing price of real estate
in Gurgaon. Sky high prices for real estate have kept buyers at bay from
purchasing property in Gurgaon.
However, homebuyers who sense that they may finally be able to purchase an
affordable home in Gurgaon should take note of the fact that the size of flats
has been reduced and this is the reason for the lower asking price for new flats in Gurgaon. Thus we can safely
conclude that the price per square foot for flats has remained the same in most
regions of Gurgaon.

Quantity Versus Quality
Many experts in the real estate sector have stated that plush and
relatively high-end homes have given way to smaller and more functional houses.
In new projects in Gurgaon where one may
have earlier found units that ranged in size between 1,200 to 1,500 feet, today
one increasingly finds unit sizes that range from 800 to 1,200 square feet.
What Happened in the Past?
Over the past few months’ new purchases almost came to a
standstill in Gurgaon. The presence of a large number of technology companies
did not ensure that more and more employees in the tech sector would continue
to buy realestate in Gurgaon. Gurgaon’s real
estate market has been pummelled over the past few years and demonetization had
an adverse impact upon Gurgaon’s property market as sales here over the past
three months’ came to a virtual standstill. Hence builders in Gurgaon
had little option but to change their strategy and have begun to build smaller
units so that such homes are affordable to a larger segment of homebuyers.
