Affordable Housing Surges in Gurugram After Years of Slowdown

10 Dec 2025 CW Team

Gurugram’s real estate market is undergoing a clear shift as the affordable housing segment gains renewed traction after years of being overshadowed by luxury developments. Once out of reach for many middle-income families, the city is now offering a more favourable landscape for budget-conscious homebuyers — a trend that contrasts with declining affordable housing demand in other Tier-1 cities.

According to the latest Real Estate Chartbook by Elara Securities, Gurugram has recorded a sharp rise in affordable housing sales, with a 191 per cent quarter-on-quarter increase and an 88 per cent year-on-year rise. These figures highlight sustained and growing buyer interest, illustrating that demand for reasonably priced homes remains robust.

Despite this surge, the segment continues to face significant supply constraints. The report notes a steep reduction in new launches as developers focus on premium and luxury projects, resulting in limited inventory for middle-class buyers. This mismatch between rising demand and inadequate supply has widened the gap in the affordable housing market.

Inventory overhang data further underscores the shortage: the time needed to clear unsold stock has increased by nine months compared with the previous year. This reflects the reluctance of developers to prioritise mass-market housing even as demand far outstrips available supply.

Nevertheless, Gurugram’s performance is emerging as a positive indicator for middle-income homebuyers nationwide. Rising construction costs and shrinking margins have strained affordability efforts across India, but Gurugram’s improving numbers offer a measure of optimism. If the current momentum continues, the city could once again become an attractive and viable destination for families aspiring to own a home.
