Gold Surges Ahead of Mumbai Property in 30-Year Investment Showdown

• Ankur Warikoo's analysis compares 1 kg gold and Mumbai property returns over 30 years (1995-2025).
• In 1995, 1 kg gold could buy 190 sq ft property; by 2000, property outpaced gold, reducing purchasable area to 126 sq ft.
• Gold regained strength by 2010, allowing 155 sq ft property, but property surged again by 2020, limiting gold's buying power to 140 sq ft.
• By 2025, 1 kg gold (₹1.02 Cr) can buy 227 sq ft property (₹45K/sq ft), significantly surpassing property returns.
• While property was ahead at times, gold's current surge makes it the stronger performer in 2025, though investment choice depends on individual factors.

Why It Matters: Gold has significantly outperformed Mumbai property in investment returns by 2025, reversing earlier trends.
