In Vartak Nagar, property prices have surged from Rs 15,000 per sq ft to Rs 17,500 per sq ft over the past year, surpassing the average rate of Rs 13,165 per sq ft in Thane. Dombivali has also seen a price increase, moving from Rs 6,800 per sq ft to Rs 7,300 per sq ft. Taloja, an affordable alternative, maintains an average rate of Rs 6,500 per sq ft. Despite these increases, these areas continue to offer lucrative investment opportunities, with residential prices in Thane rising by 14% in just one year to reach Rs 13,165 per sq ft.
Similar trends are observed in Delhi, where the average residential rate has climbed to Rs 18,012 per sq ft. Areas like Dwarka and Rohini have seen increased search activity, with prices rising from Rs 8,800 per sq ft to Rs 11,500 per sq ft and from Rs 11,300 per sq ft to Rs 12,100 per sq ft, respectively, over the past year.
Despite the rising demand and consequent price increases, suburban prices remain competitive compared to city averages, making them attractive investment destinations. The preference for peripheral markets is driven by several factors, including increased infrastructure development, improved connectivity, and a desire for more spacious living options outside of densely populated city centers.
