She noted that the pandemic brought about a major shift in housing preferences, with many individuals opting to upgrade to larger properties with better amenities. This led to an increased demand for 3-4 BHK homes and higher rentals.

Jain noted that the past 4-5 years have witnessed a trend of aspirational renting, especially in the luxury and uber-luxury segments.

"High-net-worth families chose to transition from traditional intergenerational homes to lavish experiences offered by high-end condo living. With limited new launches in the luxury segment, the existing supply of luxury properties experienced a notable spike in rentals," she said.

According to a real estate broker, the monthly rent in DLF's ultra premium project 'The Aralias' at Golf Course Road Gurugram has increased to Rs 4.5-4.75 lakh from Rs 2.6-2.7 lakh pre-pandemic. The minimum apartment size in this project is 5,800 square feet. Furnished flat is available for rent at Rs 5.5-6 lakh.

Similarly in DLF's 'The Magnolias' project, the monthly rent stood at Rs 3.7-3.8 lakh pre-pandemic and now it is Rs 5.5-6 lakh for unfurnished and Rs 6.5-7 lakh for furnished. The minimum size is 6,400 square feet.

In DLF's 'The Camellias' project, the monthly rent is Rs 8-9 lakh for an unfurnished flat and Rs 11-12 lakh for furnished apartment. The minimum apartment size in this project is 7,400 square feet.

Noida-based realty firm Gulshan group Director Deepak Kapoor said the capital values as well as rentals have grown in Delhi-NCR with return to normalcy after the second wave of the COVID pandemic.

"This increased demand has led to a rise in capital values and rental prices, particularly in the high-end property segment.
