Housing Prices Surge 10% in Q1

17 May 2024 CW Team

According to the latest report, the cities that contributed significantly to this surge include Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Kolkata, and Ahmedabad. Factors such as increased demand from end-users, a resurgence of investor interest, and improved market sentiment have driven this growth.

The report highlights that Mumbai and Delhi-NCR saw the highest price appreciation, largely due to their continued appeal to both domestic and international buyers. In Mumbai, the luxury segment performed particularly well, driven by limited supply and high demand for premium properties. Delhi-NCR, on the other hand, benefited from infrastructure developments and an influx of new projects.

Bengaluru and Hyderabad also recorded substantial price hikes, attributed to their thriving IT industries and robust employment opportunities, which attract a steady influx of professionals seeking housing. Pune and Chennai followed suit, with both markets experiencing healthy demand across various segments, from affordable housing to mid-range and luxury properties.

The growth in Kolkata and Ahmedabad, though slightly lower compared to other cities, still reflected positive market trends driven by local demand and improved economic conditions.

Industry experts believe that this upward trend in housing prices is likely to continue throughout the year, supported by favourable economic indicators, government incentives for homebuyers, and sustained interest from both end-users and investors. However, they also caution that affordability concerns and potential interest rate hikes could pose challenges in the future.

Overall, the 10% increase in housing prices in Q1 2024 underscores a strong recovery and optimism in India's real estate sector, setting a positive tone for the remainder of the year.
