During the global economic recession the real estate in Gurgaon experienced a slowdown with no or few property buyers in the market. Even working population of MNC's suffered a phase of lay-offs. The employer firms had to overcome the loss and so salaries were slashed down. The reduced earnings ultimately lessen the purchase power of an average person. As a result, the recession made it difficult for the developers to find buyers for their expensive properties. To handle the loss, developers of Gurgaon real estate planned low margins high-volume sale of properties which lead to the increase of investors in the property market. The strategy is to create affordable housing where real estate Gurgaon developers are launching low-cost projects in the city. This strategy has benefitted the developers from the market depression.
