A Real Estate Expert’s Perspective
Kartikeya Sharma, the Associate Principal Partner at Square Yards, says that, “The change in circle rates is a necessary step towards increasing transparency in the real estate sector and aligning property valuation with market realities. However, the scale of these hikes should be carefully considered, especially in areas like Gurugram, where property prices have already seen significant growth in recent years. Continuously rising prices are increasingly pushing low-to-mid-income buyers out of reach, and further hikes in circle rates could increase the total acquisition cost even more, putting additional financial pressure on price-sensitive segments.”
