The real estate market along the Yamuna Expressway began to gain momentum in 2021, driven by the gradual return to normalcy and increased interest in suburban properties. Apartment prices rose to Rs 3,400 – 3,600 per square foot, while land prices saw a notable increase to Rs 2,000 – 2,200 per square foot. This period marked the beginning of a significant upward trajectory in property values, setting the stage for the boom in the subsequent years.

By 2022, the effects of improved infrastructure and the growing desirability of the Yamuna Expressway as a prime residential and commercial location became evident. Apartment prices surged further, reaching Rs 3,600 – 3,800 per square foot, while land prices nearly doubled to Rs 3,400 – 3,600 per square foot. This year was particularly crucial as it underscored the region’s emergence as a preferred destination for investors and homebuyers alike.

The property market along the Yamuna Expressway witnessed unprecedented growth in 2023. The average price for apartments skyrocketed to Rs 4,900 – 5,100 per square foot, while land prices soared to an impressive Rs 5,900 – 6,100 per square foot. This remarkable growth was largely attributed to several key developments, including the upcoming Jewar Airport, the expansion of the Noida International Airport, and enhanced connectivity through the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC).

As of 2024, the report highlights that apartment prices along the Yamuna Expressway have reached an average of Rs 7,900 – 8,100 per square foot, with land prices now averaging between Rs 6,900 – 7,100 per square foot. This year-on-year surge reflects a 170% increase in apartment prices and a staggering 450% growth in land prices over the past five years, making the Yamuna Expressway one of the fastest-growing real estate corridors in India.

Builder floor prices have also shown a robust increase, with a notable 35.6% rise in just the last year and a 43.5% increase over the past three years. These numbers underscore the growing demand for residential properties in this burgeoning region.

Sunil Sisodiya, Founder of GeetanjaliHomestate, commented on the findings: “The remarkable price surge along the Yamuna Expressway can be attributed to several key factors. The strategic location, coupled with the upcoming Jewar Airport and other infrastructural developments, has significantly enhanced the area’s connectivity and appeal. Additionally, the rising demand for residential and commercial spaces, fueled by the growing interest in suburban living, has driven property prices to new heights. The Yamuna Expressway is rapidly emerging as a real estate goldmine, offering substantial returns for investors.”

The report further notes that the increasing preference for spacious living, driven by the remote work culture and the desire for a better quality of life, has played a crucial role in driving demand for properties along the Yamuna Expressway. With its proximity to major urban centers, yet offering the tranquility of suburban living, the region is perfectly poised to attract homebuyers and investors seeking long-term gains.

GeetanjaliHomestate’s report underscores the significant potential of the Yamuna Expressway as a prime real estate investment destination. The substantial year-on-year price appreciation across all property segments highlights the region’s growing importance in the Delhi-NCR real estate market. As infrastructural projects near completion and the region continues to develop, the Yamuna Expressway is set to remain a hotspot for real estate investments, offering promising opportunities for both residential and commercial buyers.
