The report suggested that 12 per cent of respondents are 'slightly concerned' and 10 per cent 'extremely concerned', while only 7 per cent are 'not at all concerned'.
The online survey saw nearly 8,250 participants. They were asked - 'How concerned are you about the recent jump in housing prices in your preferred city/area?' The average residential prices rose by over 50 per cent in the last two years from Rs 6,001 per sq ft in Q2 2023 to Rs 8,990 a sq ft by Q2 2025, the consultant said.
Price hikes have affected buying decisions - only 21 per cent will buy as planned, while 71 per cent face delays (32 per cent slight, 29 per cent by 1-2 years, 12 per cent indefinite) and 6 per cent cancelled.
