Noida's Rising Property Prices Make Compact 2BHK Flats Costly for Salaried Buyers
A viral video by Noida resident Rishi Shandilya highlights the steep cost of compact 2BHK apartments in Noida, priced around Rs 75-80 lakh. Buyers typically need a monthly salary of about Rs 1 lakh and a down payment of Rs 20-25 lakh to afford such homes, with EMIs nearing Rs 60,000. Rising property prices are attributed to luxury developments, infrastructure improvements like the Jewar airport, and increased land and material costs, making homeownership challenging for many salaried professionals.
