The Tricity Property Boom
The Chandigarh–Mohali belt is transforming rapidly. Once known for quiet, planned neighbourhoods, it is now one of North India’s fastest-growing real estate markets. Wide roads, an international airport, strong job creation and excellent civic amenities are pulling buyers from across the country and from abroad.
If you plan to buy or invest before 2026, understanding how prices are moving—and why—is the smartest way to secure a profitable deal.
A Market on the Move
Property rates across both cities have been rising steadily. In central Chandigarh sectors, apartment prices currently average ₹10,000–₹13,000 per sq.ft., increasing 6–8 percent year on year. Mohali’s emerging hotspots such as Sectors 79 and 80 and the Airport Road corridor are growing even faster at 8–10 percent annually, thanks to new supply and infrastructure. Peripheral zones like Zirakpur remain more affordable at ₹4,500–₹6,000 per sq.ft., but they too show a clear upward trend.
What’s Driving the Surge
Several factors are combining to push prices higher.
Key Drivers Include:
- Infrastructure Upgrades: Proposed Chandigarh Metro, PR-7 Airport Road widening, and cargo expansion at the international airport.
- Commercial Growth: IT City Mohali, new malls and co-working spaces are drawing professionals and businesses.
- NRI Interest: Strong demand from buyers based in Canada, the UK and Australia keeps premium inventory moving.
Segments to Watch
While the market is hot across the board, some pockets promise exceptional value.
- Luxury Apartments in Chandigarh’s core sectors remain limited in supply and hold their value.
- Mid-Segment Homes along Airport Road give first-time buyers a good price-to-growth ratio.
- GMADA-Approved Plots are increasingly scarce, making them a favourite for investors seeking capital appreciation.
- Commercial SCOs near IT City provide strong rental yields as office demand grows.
Tips for Smart Buyers
To stay ahead of the market, act early and stay vigilant.
- Begin your property search now rather than waiting for a price drop.
- Check RERA registration and verify legal titles before committing.
- Lock in home-loan rates while interest remains competitive.
- Research the builder’s track record for timely delivery and construction quality.
Looking Ahead to 2026
Experts expect 8–12 percent annual appreciation in high-growth Mohali sectors like 79, 80 and Aerocity over the next two years. Premium Chandigarh addresses should continue to climb due to limited supply, while commercial rentals will benefit from IT and corporate expansion along the Airport Road.
Advice for First-Time Buyers
For those buying their first home, a 2 or 3 BHK apartment between 1,200–1,600 sq.ft. offers the best balance of price and resale value.
Pointers to keep in mind:
- Choose north- or park-facing units if your budget allows—they command higher resale prices.
- Don’t focus only on price per sq.ft.—evaluate construction quality, amenities, and maintenance charges.
- Negotiate parking and maintenance costs upfront.
