posted on 13 MayMohali investors: Is super area inflation normal?
Budget finalised, loan pre-approved — now stuck on which sector. I'm looking at a 3BHK in Sector 74, Ganpati Builders. Honestly, the super area vs carpet area thing is driving me crazy. They quoted some crazy super area, but when I saw the actual flat, it felt way smaller. It's like they're inflating numbers, and I'm paying for air. Is this normal in Mohali? My parents keep saying builders always do this, but for a 1.8 Cr flat, every sqft matters, yaar. I'm trying to get a decent ROI eventually. Also, do spot discounts actually exist, or is it just a marketing gimmick? Should I just go direct to Ganpati or can a broker really get me a better deal on the total acquisition cost? Not sure what my next move should be.

Oh my god, I thought it was just me! Same situation here, looking at properties in Zirakpur and Mohali. Builders have this 'super area' magic trick up their sleeves. My father also says the same, 'beta, builders will always find a way to inflate numbers'. For 1.8 Cr, you're right, every square foot matters. It feels like we're paying for common areas we barely use. Did you try asking them for a detailed breakdown? I'm also confused about the broker vs direct builder thing.
