A total of 7,957 units were sold between January and June 2024, primarily concentrated in the south and west micro-markets. While the south region still dominates the market, the west has seen a significant increase in sales, accounting for 29% of the total sales.
Homebuyers are now looking at houses in the 80 lakh to 1 crore and above bracket in the western region, driven by the promise of improved connectivity and amenities. Srinivas Anikapatti, executive director (Tamil Nadu and Kerala), Knight Frank India, attributes the major shift to the western region to the proposed metro rail connectivity.
Despite the shift towards high-end housing, the city's mid-segment residential market, priced between 50 lakh and 1 crore, accounted for 44% of total sales. The demand from the workforce in manufacturing, hospitality, and logistics sectors led to this.
Builders are optimistic about the North Chennai micro-market, which is expected to benefit from upgrades in infrastructure and employment opportunities.
