On 17 October 2026, the MA listings board carried 5,930 active dealer asks for 3 BHK homes across Mohali, from ₹52.5 lakh to ₹2.8 crore. The average ask was ₹1.47 crore, or about ₹8,732 per sq ft, and the busiest sectors were 88, 91 and 82. These are asking prices from dealer broadcasts, not registered sale values.

The label "3 BHK" hides two different products, and the price per sq ft only compares fairly once you know which one you are looking at.

Two formats under one label

Independent floor. One full floor of a low-rise building on a plotted site, usually inside a licensed colony such as TDI City in Sectors 117 to 119. A handful of homes share a staircase and often a lift. There is little or no clubhouse, and running costs are low.

Group housing apartment. A unit in a tower with shared lifts, security, a clubhouse and power backup. These come with an upfront club and maintenance deposit and a monthly maintenance bill. Towers of 20 floors and more are now common along the Airport Road belt.

The area figure is not always the same figure

The RERA Act, 2016 defines carpet area in Section 2(k) as the net usable floor area of the home, excluding external walls, service shafts, the exclusive balcony or verandah, and the exclusive open terrace, but including internal partition walls.

Brochures rarely lead with that number. Towers are often quoted on super area, which adds a share of lobbies, lifts and amenities. Floors are often quoted on covered area. Two homes both called "1,700 sq ft" can differ by several hundred sq ft of usable space. Ask for carpet area in writing and compare the price per sq ft of carpet area, not of the headline figure.

What the 2025 bylaws change for floors

Punjab's unified building bylaws, notified in December 2025, allow stilt plus four floors in newly developed licensed colonies and sectors, and stilt plus three in already planned areas, according to The Tribune. Plots up to 200 sq yd need a road at least 30 ft wide; larger plots need 40 ft. MA covered the earlier approval here.

For a buyer, more floors per plot means more households sharing one staircase, one stilt and one street. Check the stilt parking plan before you compare prices.

Questions that separate the two

- Land share. For a floor, what share of the plot does the deed transfer, and who controls the roof?
- Parking. How many stilt or basement slots come with the home, and are they marked?
- Running costs. For a tower, the monthly maintenance, the club charge and the maintenance deposit. For a floor, who pays for the lift and common lighting?
- Registration. Check the project or colony on the Punjab RERA portal before any payment.
- Resale depth. How many comparable homes are on the board in the same sector? A thin board means a slower exit.
