This substantial rise is attributed to the increase in input costs, including land, labor, and construction materials.
According to Anarock, Delhi-NCR recorded the highest yearly increase in average residential prices, jumping from Rs 5,800 per square foot in 2023 to nearly Rs 7,550 per square foot in 2024.
This sharp increase in housing prices occurred despite a higher supply and a marginal decline in sales during the 2024 calendar year.
The significant rise in input costs has been a major factor in the price hike.
The cost of land, labor, and construction materials has increased substantially, contributing to the overall rise in housing prices.
Anarock's data reveals that housing sales in Delhi-NCR dropped by 6 per cent to 61,900 units in 2024, down from 65,625 units in the previous year.
However, the fresh supply of housing properties in Delhi-NCR saw a notable increase of 44 per cent, with 53,000 units added in 2024, compared to 36,735 units in the preceding year.
This rise in supply is expected to continue in the coming years, driven by listed developers who have significant inventory lined up.
Overall, Anarock's data shows that housing prices across the top seven cities—Delhi-NCR, Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Pune—rose between 13-30 per cent.
The average residential price across these cities increased by 21 per cent, from Rs 7,080 per square foot in 2023 to Rs 8,590 per square foot in 2024.
Anuj Puri, chairman of Anarock, provided insights into the housing market outlook for 2025.
He stated that while the steep growth seen in the past year is unlikely to repeat, average residential prices will continue to see steady growth due to increased input costs and high demand.
Puri also noted that the year 2025 will witness generous new supply infusions from listed developers, who have a significant inventory ready for the market.
However, the elections and a slow project approval process have somewhat dented the new supply pipeline in 2024.
Despite these challenges, the real estate market in Delhi-NCR and other major cities is expected to remain robust, driven by strong homebuyer demand and a steady influx of new housing units.
