A JLL report reveals a robust market with 14,822 flats sold for INR 24,944 crore in 2023, with apartments priced at INR 3.5 crore and above constituting 23% of total sales. Rising by 23% year-on-year, property prices in key sectors like 108 and 144 have surged, reflecting a booming market. With Fortune 500 companies boosting job opportunities, these cities offer a blend of luxury living and affordability, attracting investors and homebuyers alike.
Noida and Greater Noida, once known for their budget-friendly apartments, are undergoing a significant transformation. These cities are quickly becoming major hubs for premium real estate, attracting buyers seeking a luxurious lifestyle. Advertisement
Several factors are driving this shift. Large-scale infrastructure projects, including the development of the Jewar international airport, dedicated industrial sectors, data centers, and an extensive network of roads, railways, and metro lines (all improving connectivity and logistics), are making Noida and Greater Noida more attractive for businesses and residents alike.
Real estate developers are responding to the changing market by offering high-end apartments and studios in central Noida. Buyers are drawn to amenities like luxurious entrances, opulent clubhouses, landscaped gardens, and even guest facilities. This shift in demand, with apartments priced at INR 3.5 crore and above making up 23% of total sales in 2023 (according to a JLL report that showed 14,822 flats sold for a total value of INR 24,944 crore last year), is encouraging developers to enter the premium housing segment in these areas.
The completion of previously stalled projects is another factor influencing buyer sentiment. Various efforts, including the availability of SWAMIH funds and initiatives by the UP Real Estate Regulatory Authority (UP RERA), have facilitated the completion of these projects. This not only improves the overall image of the area but also drives demand and property values upwards.
The Uttar Pradesh government's efforts to address stalled projects and improve law and order have also played a role. Additionally, the acceptance of the Amitabh Kant Committee's recommendations by the state government has streamlined the process for developers. These measures have helped to restore confidence in the Noida and Greater Noida real estate market.
The trend towards premiumization is reflected in significant property price increases. A recent report by 99acres shows that prices in over 10 Noida areas have risen by 23% year-on-year. Sectors 108 and 144 have witnessed the most dramatic increases, with price hikes of 60% and 51% respectively. Greater Noida has also seen a boom, with Jaypee Greens experiencing a 30% year-on-year jump and a 92% increase since 2020. For example, the cost of a three-bedroom apartment in the 7x sectors (73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78) and expressway sectors (sectors 108, 142, 143, 150, and 152) has increased from around INR 5,800 per sq ft in 2019 to over INR 10,000 per sq ft today. Country Group's Ivy County, initially priced at INR 6,000 per sq ft in 2019, now commands INR 15,000 per sq ft with ready to move in units while rates in its recently-launched Ivory County are between INR 15,000 sq ft and INR 16,500 per sq ft. Ivy County is located in Sector 75 Noida, while Ivory County is in Sector 115 Noida. Greater Noida West, also known as Noida Extension, has seen a similar rise in prices, with properties priced between INR 3,500 and INR 4,500 per sq ft in 2019-20 now selling for more than INR 7,000 per sq ft.
The presence of Fortune 500 companies in IT, ITeS, research, and consulting has further enhanced the appeal of Noida and Greater Noida. These companies create numerous job opportunities, attracting professionals who seek convenient commutes to their workplaces.
The outlook for Noida and Greater Noida's real estate market is positive. While the market is moving towards luxury options, developers are mindful of past experiences. They are offering limited units and towers built using the latest construction technologies to ensure quality and timely completion. While these factors might add a premium to upcoming projects, Noida and Greater Noida remain relatively affordable compared to other regions offering similar amenities, like Gurgaon or Delhi NCR. Experts believe this price advantage, coupled with the improved infrastructure and growing job market, will continue to attract buyers seeking a high-quality lifestyle at a reasonable cost.
While the market offers exciting prospects, potential buyers are advised to conduct thorough research before investing. Verifying the developer's reputation, project approvals, and construction timelines is crucial. Consulting with a qualified real estate advisor can also be beneficial in navigating the changing market dynamics and identifying suitable properties that meet individual needs and budget constraints.
Noida and Greater Noida are set to become major players in India's premium real estate market. With continued infrastructure development, a growing job market, and a focus on quality living, these cities offer a compelling proposition for both residents and investors. The key will be for developers to strike a balance between offering high-end amenities and maintaining a level of affordability that keeps Noida and Greater Noida attractive to a wider range of buyers.
