Should I avoid buying property in areas where rents are higher?
When you invest in property for sale in Ahmedabad, focus on the balance between rental yield (the annual rent you earn compared to the property cost) and price appreciation. In most parts of the Ahmedabad property market, rental yields range between 2% and 4% annually. So, if a property’s rent is very high but its purchase price is even higher, your actual yield may remain low. For example, in prime areas like Satellite, Bodakdev, or Prahlad Nagar, rents are higher because of lifestyle amenities and business proximity, but property prices are also steep—so the percentage return stays moderate. On the other hand, emerging areas such as Shela, Sanathal, or Narol (where residential projects by Laxmi Group Ahmedabad are coming up) may offer moderate rent but better appreciation potential over time.
Higher rents often signal that an area is already mature and in demand. That’s good if you want regular rental income and lower risk. But for investors looking for value growth, newer or developing zones with improving infrastructure can be smarter. The key is to compare rent levels with buying cost—if an apartment costs too much compared to its annual rent, it may take years to recover your investment.
