Global Housing Price Rise: Mumbai and Delhi Rank High in 44 Cities
Real Estate News:Mumbai has been ranked third and Delhi fifth among top 44 cities globally in terms of appreciation of housing prices during the January-March 2024 period, according to Knight Frank. This significant rise in housing prices has pushed Mumbai up from its 6th position and Delhi from its 17th position in the same period last year. Manila holds the top spot with a remarkable 26.2 per cent annual growth in prices, followed by Tokyo at 12.5 per cent.

Knight Frank's report 'Prime Global Cities Index Q1 2024' reveals that Mumbai recorded an 11.5 per cent year-on-year (YoY) growth in prime residential prices during January-March 2024. Delhi, on the other hand, rose from 17th rank in January-March 2023 to 5th position in January-March 2024 with a growth of 10.5 per cent YoY. While Bengaluru observed a decline in ranking from 16th place in Q1 2024 to 17th rank in Q1 2024, it still recorded a 4.8 per cent YoY growth in residential prices.

Knight Frank's Prime Global Cities Index (PGCI) is a valuation-based index that tracks the movement of prime residential prices across 44 cities worldwide using data from its global research network. The index tracks nominal prices in local currency.

Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director at Knight Frank India, attributes the strong demand trend for residential properties to a global phenomenon, led by gateway markets of Asia-Pacific and EMEA. He believes that the improved rankings of Mumbai and New Delhi on the Prime Global Cities Index were underscored by the resilience in sales growth volume. Baijal expects the momentum of sales to remain stable over the next few quarters as the economic conditions are likely to remain broadly unchanged.

The consultant notes that global housing price growth has strengthened, with the average annual house price growth rising by 4.1 per cent in the 12 months to March 2024. This marks the fastest rate of growth since the third quarter of 2022.
