Commenting on Gurugram market, property brokerage firm Inframantra founder Shiwang Suraj said, “The housing sales in Gurugram have been consistently breaking all previous records, especially in luxury and mid-income housing segment. Housing sales in 2022 performed exceedingly well even with higher home loan borrowing rates as new launches were limited which led to demand exceeding supply.”
Going ahead, Suraj said this trend is expected to continue in 2023 with a possible easing of interest rates in the later part of the year.
