posted on 13 MayMohali property prices are already peaking, don't fall for the hype.
Honestly, I just moved into my 3BHK in Sector 82 two months ago, after getting possession in March. Everyone glorifies Mohali investments, but I'm seeing things nobody told me. My builder Adani M2k Projects Llp ne high appreciation bola tha, especially with all the infrastructure talk. But ab lagta hai ki prices ₹1.6 Cr - ₹5 Cr+ already touch kar chuke hain. Is Mohali abhi bhi good investment in 2026-27 or is it mostly end-users buying now? Lagta hai ROI utna nahi milega jitna pehle milta tha. Change my mind.

I think the original poster is right. Mohali is definitely seeing more end-users now than pure investors. The high entry point means the 'quick flip' potential is gone. People are buying for residence, for schools, for proximity to family in Chandigarh. Investors are now looking at tier-2 cities or more niche commercial properties for better ROI. The days of 20-30%
My experience with builders has been a nightmare, not just in Mohali. I almost put my money in a project near Airport Road (Gurgaon side) a few years back, and thankfully pulled out. The promises made versus the ground reality are poles apart. Adani M2k ka toh track record bhi mixed hai, I've heard stories. Always check the RERA complaints and talk to existing residents, not just sales agents. These guys will paint a rosy picture, especially with the 'infrastructure' narrative. My cousin faced similar issues with a project coming up near Badshahpur, endless delays and hidden costs. Buyer beware!
Totally agree! Hidden costs are the worst. Maintenance charges, club membership, parking fees... they add up so fast. Jo budget banaya hota hai, usse upar hi chala jaata hai. Plus, the quality of construction is often compromised.
RERA mein complaint nahi kiya kya? Ya builder ka track record pehle se hi kharab tha? It's so hard to trust anyone now.
While I understand the frustration, we also need to consider the long-term view for Mohali. Connectivity to Chandigarh, upcoming industrial hubs, and the international airport expansion are real factors. Plus, compared to some parts of Gurugram or even Noida, the base price, though high now, might still have some room to grow in the next 5-7 years. It's not the 'get rich quick' scheme it once was, but for end-users looking for a decent lifestyle, it's still attractive. Just need to pick the right project, not just the 'hottest' one.
Long-term view toh theek hai, but kitna long-term? Already prices are at a premium. If I'm buying a 1.6 Cr property today, I'd expect at least 7-8% annual appreciation to beat inflation and loan interest. Mohali ka real estate market abhi utna mature nahi lagta to sustain such high growth from this base. It's too risky for my first home.
Aap kaunse projects ki baat kar rahe ho, U4? Koi specific builder name ya sector jahan abhi bhi potential dikhta hai?
Totally agree with the original post, yaar. My budget was around ₹80-90L for a 2BHK and Mohali was on my radar. But jab actual site visits kiye, especially around Aerocity and IT City, prices were insane. Builders are quoting ₹6000-₹7000 per sqft for basic projects, which feels like peak Bengaluru or Gurugram rates. For a first-time buyer like me, it's just not making sense anymore.
Haan, Adani M2k ka toh pata nahi, but my brother booked with another big builder near Sector 115 and even there, the prices are just climbing. They keep saying 'future infrastructure' but the current reality is slow development and high EMIs. Lagta hai hum jaise first-time buyers ke liye sirf disappointment hi hai.
Bhai, exactly! Which sectors are you seeing this in, U1? Is it across Mohali or specific pockets that are getting overhyped?
