Kolkata Property Registrations Surge 64%

18 Mar 2024 CW Team

Property registrations in Kolkata experienced a substantial surge of 64% year-on-year in February 2024, indicating robust activity in the city's real estate sector. This significant uptick reflects renewed confidence among buyers and sellers, amidst improving economic conditions and favourable market dynamics.

The spike in property registrations can be attributed to various factors, including pent-up demand, favourable lending conditions, and the easing of COVID-19 restrictions. Additionally, initiatives by the government to streamline property registration processes and reduce associated costs may have contributed to the uptick in transactions.

The residential segment appears to be driving much of this growth, with increased interest from homebuyers in owning property in Kolkata. Developers and real estate agents have reported heightened inquiries and sales activity across different residential projects in the city.

The commercial real estate sector also shows signs of revival, with a notable increase in registrations for commercial properties and office spaces. This trend aligns with the gradual recovery of businesses and the resumption of economic activities post-pandemic.

The surge in property registrations underscores Kolkata's resilience and attractiveness as a real estate destination. Despite challenges posed by the pandemic, the city's property market continues to demonstrate resilience and adaptability, presenting opportunities for both investors and end-users alike.

Looking ahead, sustained government support, coupled with continued economic recovery, is expected to further stimulate growth in Kolkata's real estate sector, driving continued momentum in property transactions and investments.
