Gurgaon Real Estate Won't Crash': Analyst Explains How the City's Traffic Jam Is Driving Up Prices

Most people assume that poor infrastructure brings property prices down. In Gurgaon, the opposite appears to be true, and a growing number of analysts are saying so out loud.

Credit analyst Kunal Sehgal put it plainly: "They say Gurgaon real estate is overpriced because of bad infrastructure. What they don't realise is that it's because of the poor infrastructure that prices are rising." mahindralifespaces The logic is counterintuitive but sound. Traffic congestion, poor roads, and patchy connectivity push buyers to pay a premium to live as close to work as possible, reducing commute time becomes worth more than the inconvenience of bad roads. And when the roads do eventually improve? Prices will only go up further, because of high watermarking. mahindralifespaces

The numbers back this up. Gurgaon's prices have jumped 160% in five years, fuelled by NRI interest, tight supply, and luxury launches.
