Market Dynamics Driving Growth
Buyer Profile Expansion
The market draws various investors. HNIs from Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi NCR look for lifestyle improvements. NRIs, especially from Canada and the UK, invest for long-term investment. Entrepreneurs are drawn to Mohali's IT hubs while retirees enjoy Panchkula's peaceful setting.
Infrastructure Advantage
Being close to NCR offers a unique appeal. Better air quality, improved infrastructure, and premium amenities attract city folks. Projects like Suncity Parikrama in Sector 20 and Omaxe Cassia in Sector 25 provide gated communities with modern features.
Future Outlook
Knight Frank India's 2024 Wealth Report shows Tricity's rising appeal, with 15% of North India's UHNI investments going to the region. This trend makes Panchkula a serious competitor in luxury real estate.
The mix of affordability, growth potential, and lifestyle benefits makes a strong investment case. As NCR markets grow, Panchkula offers new chances for both homebuyers and investors looking for value growth.
