Developing
In Short: A 2,489-square-yard house in Chandigarh's Sector 9 recently sold for nearly 69% above its collector value, reaching a billion-rupee mark, highlighting the city's growing luxury realty market.
The 2,489-square-yard house in Chandigarh's plush Sector 9 recently sold for nearly 69% above its collector value, reaching a billion-rupee mark, according to the latest property registration data accessed by The Indian Express. This sale underscores the city's growing luxury realty market, where affluent buyers are willing to pay extraordinary premiums for prime addresses.
The difference between the transaction value and the collector value is stark, with the sharpest premium seen in Sector 18, where a property sold for 121% above its collector value. Sectors 10, 33, and 28 saw considerations 109%, 91%, and 75% higher than their respective collector values, respectively.
For India's affluent and wealthy, a Chandigarh address is proving to be worth an extraordinary premium. In the city's most coveted sectors, buyers are increasingly willing to part with fortunes, running into tens of crores and, in one recent case, touching the billion-rupee mark, just to secure an address in City Beautiful.
The appeal extends beyond the house itself, as the exclusivity of owning land in Chandigarh's established neighbourhoods is a key factor. These areas are characterized by finite supply, scarce vacant plots, and coveted addresses passed down through generations, making them highly sought after by the city's elite.
What's confirmed
What's still developing
- From politicians and businessmen to NRIs, cricketers and Bollywood personalities, a growing list of the country’s affluent has sought a Chandigarh address, pushing the city’s luxury housing market into a price league once associated primarily with India’s biggest metros.
- Unlike sprawling metropolitan cities that can expand into large peripheral areas, Chandigarh has a tightly defined geographical footprint of just about 114 sq km, leaving very little scope for creating new residential land within the city.
