Introduction

A Gurugram Family’s Big Win

Last year, Ramesh and Priya, a young couple from Gurugram, were hunting for their first home. Every project they liked was either too expensive or came with hidden charges. Then, a friend introduced them to a group buying deal on TogetherBuying.in.

They joined 25 other buyers, approached the builder as one, and negotiated a lower price. Not only did they save ₹7 lakh on the property, but they also got free parking and waived registration fees.

Stories like theirs are becoming common in 2025 — because group buying is rewriting the rules of real estate in India.

What is Group Buying in Real Estate?

Group buying is when a group of homebuyers teams up to buy multiple units from the same builder at the same time. The builder gets bulk sales, and the buyers get:

  • A lower price per unit
  • Better payment terms
  • Extra perks like free interiors or waived charges

Here’s how it works:

  1. Buyers form a group (through friends, social media, or a platform like TogetherBuying.in).
  2. The group approaches the builder with a collective offer.
  3. The builder, eager to sell multiple homes at once, offers discounts and benefits.
  4. Each buyer books their home at the same negotiated rate.

How Group Buying Disrupts the Old Way of Buying Homes

The traditional process forces each buyer to negotiate alone. Prices vary from person to person, and buyers rarely know what deal others got. It’s stressful, time-consuming, and often unfair.

Group buying changes this:

  • The group negotiates once for everyone.
  • Every buyer gets the same transparent price.
  • Builders sell faster and save on marketing costs.
  • Buyers avoid the emotional pressure of one-on-one negotiations.

Why Group Buying Works in Today’s Market

In 2025, homebuyers face real challenges:

  • High interest rates increase EMIs.
  • Property prices grow faster than salaries.
  • Urban demand pushes prices up in cities like Mumbai, Delhi NCR, and Bengaluru.

Group buying works because it tackles these issues head-on. It reduces the entry cost, which makes owning a home more realistic without stretching finances too thin.

Benefits of Group Buying for Homebuyers

Here’s why more Indians are turning to group buying:

  1. Lower Prices You can save 5%–20% compared to market rates. On a ₹1 crore property, that’s ₹5–20 lakh in savings.

  2. Transparent Deals Everyone pays the same rate — no hidden deals or surprise charges.

  3. Less Stress Instead of weeks of stressful bargaining, one group negotiation seals the deal.

  4. Added Perks Builders often include bonuses like free parking, waived stamp duty, or premium fittings.

  5. Faster Decisions Since the offer is pre-negotiated, you can book quickly without endless back-and-forth.

Real Story: How a Group Saved 15% in Gurugram

In early 2025, 30 buyers teamed up through TogetherBuying.in for a premium apartment project, Gurugram.

  • Market price: ₹8,000 per sq. ft.
  • Group price: ₹6,800 per sq. ft.
  • Savings per buyer: ₹6–8 lakh
  • Perks: Free clubhouse membership + waived registration worth ₹2 lakh

The builder sold faster, and buyers walked away with major savings.
