posted on 18 MayCan't decide between renting or buying in Gurugram
Dwarka Expressway — seeing so much buzz about it these days, especially with the completion coming up. I'm 29, looking at my first property in Gurugram. Honestly, I'm torn between continuing to rent in Cyber City or buying. My budget is around ₹1.8 Cr. Is it really worth buying a 2BHK for that much near sectors like 102 or 109, or should I just stick to renting? The EMIs feel huge. What about the rental yield there? My parents keep saying buy, but I'm not sure if the math works out. Any thoughts?

I actually bought a 2BHK in Sector 109, a project by a reputed builder, two years ago for ₹1.2 Cr. The appreciation has been decent on paper, but the possession keeps getting delayed. My original plan was to shift, but now I'm still renting in Golf Course Road. If I were you, I'd seriously look into the actual possession timelines and not just the marketing. EMIs are definitely huge, I know the
₹1.8 Cr for a 2BHK near 102/109? That's way too much, yaar. Builder delay ka risk bhi hai. The prices are already inflated because of the hype. Don't fall for the FOMO.
Sahi baat hai. Basai is a good suggestion by someone below. Prices are definitely more reasonable there for now.
Oh man, the possession delays are real! My friend booked in Sector 102 and he's still waiting. He's paying rent AND EMI. That's a huge burden. Be very careful with builder promises.
Bhai, same boat! Dwarka Expy is the future. Cyber City rent is just dead money. Parents are right, buy it, it's a long-term asset.
Agreed! The infrastructure coming up on Dwarka Expy is massive. Connectivity will be a game changer. Think long term, not just current EMIs. It's an investment for your future.
Exactly! Rent is just burning money. Property value will only go up in GGN, especially with the infra coming up.
