India Ratings has projected a moderate growth of 3-4% in housing prices for the next fiscal year.
Housing prices increased by 21% year-over-year in 2023-24.
Higher interest rates increase borrowing costs, reducing the purchasing power of homebuyers and leading to a slowdown in demand, which can cap rapid price growth.
The government has introduced measures such as higher property taxes and stricter regulations on real estate transactions to ensure a more sustainable and stable housing market.
Moderate growth could make homes more affordable for first-time buyers and lower and middle-income segments, but it may affect the profitability of developers. It also offers opportunities for developers to focus on quality and resilience.
