Property in India: what it costs and how to get offers
Property prices in India depend heavily on the city and the locality. In Delhi, average rates for mid-segment areas run at about ₹8,000 to ₹12,500 per square foot, and high-end localities go above ₹13,000, according to property rate listings for November 2026.

What the price depends on
- The city and the locality. Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai each have their own rates, and prices can differ a lot between neighbourhoods in the same city.
- The size. Most listings quote the price per square foot, while plans may use square metres (1 square metre is about 10.76 square feet), so compare prices on one basis.
- Whether the property is new or resale, and whether it is for sale or for rent.
- The floor, parking, lift and the condition of the building.
Agents and their licences
If you deal with an agent, ask whether they hold a property dealer licence. A published fee list shows a fresh licence for an individual at ₹2,000, with a late fee of ₹500 a month. A property management licence costs ₹10,000 for an individual and ₹50,000 for a company in Delhi, and ₹10,600 and ₹1,00,600 in Maharashtra. Fees differ by state, so check the rules for the city where you are buying.
Season and how to view
The climate is tropical: hot all year, with a wet season and a dry season instead of winter and summer. Plan viewings for the drier months, when it is easier to walk the site. In the wet season, check the roof, the drains and the walls for damp, because a property that looks fine in the dry months can show leaks after heavy rain.
What to write in the request
Say whether you want to buy or rent, the city and locality, the size in square feet or square metres, the number of bedrooms and your budget in rupees. Add the date you want to move in. Sellers who see these details can reply with a realistic price and terms.
Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice receive your request and reply in the chat with their own offer, including the price and terms. Your contacts stay hidden until you decide with whom to exchange them. You can create a request from the home page, or browse apartments and houses first.
