This surge in interest does not come as a surprise to industry experts, with the festive season traditionally driving up real estate transactions in India. The IRIS (Indian Residential Index for Online Search) report states that this remarkable increase is the highest reading since December 2023.
Key trends from the report by Housing.com, a prop-tech platform with over 20 million monthly users, reveal that 2BHK units remain the most searched properties across India. In terms of location, Delhi-NCR is leading, with demand focused on 3BHKs, while Mumbai sees the most interest in 1BHKs within the ₹50 lakh to ₹1 crore range.
The report also highlights a shift in buyer preferences, with 50% of searches focused on ready-to-move-in properties. This indicates that homebuyers are looking for properties that are immediately available, rather than those that are still under construction.
