During this period, around 15,000 projects were launched, including apartments, floors, and villas, in the top 10 cities Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, Thane, Navi Mumbai, Pune, Noida, and Gurugram.
Commenting on the data, Samir Jasuja, Founder & CEO of PropEquity, said, “Real estate prices have gone up exponentially across all major cities in the last five years. The primary factors driving this surge include massive infrastructure development, growing interest from NRIs, HNIs (High Net Worth Individuals), and UHNIs (Ultra High Net Worth Individuals), as well as stock market gainers looking to create wealth and generate income through real estate investments. Additionally, rising homeownership sentiments and the overall shift towards luxury and super luxury homes due to rising aspirations and affluence are also contributing to the steep rise in prices.”
