This increase marks a significant jump from Rs 5,800 per sq ft in 2023 to nearly Rs 7,550 per sq ft in 2024.
Despite higher supply and a marginal fall in sales during the year, the region has seen a robust demand for housing, especially in the premium and luxury segments.
The sharp rise in housing prices in Delhi-NCR is driven by a mix of factors.
The region’s rapid urbanization, infrastructure development, and the influx of high-net-worth individuals (HNWI) seeking top-tier residential properties have all contributed to the surge.
Additionally, the rising cost of materials and construction has further pushed prices up.
