In the nine-month period, the mid-segment (₹50 lakh-1 crore) and upper-mid segment (₹1-3 crore) held significant shares, with 39% and 35% respectively. However, the premium and luxury segments saw substantial growth, driven by changing lifestyle preferences and increased disposable income.

The year is expected to close with sales reaching a historic milestone, 12-15% higher than the 2.94 lakh units sold in 2023, bolstered by the festive season's buyer activities. Reputed developers are expected to drive demand with quality supply in prime locations and growth corridors.

Samantak Das, Chief Economist and Head of Research and REIS, India, JLL, stated, 'Residential sales during the first nine months of 2024, achieving 85% of the volume recorded during the entire year 2023, speak largely about the robust sales traction across the top 7 cities. 23% of the overall 9-month sales were recorded in projects launched during January-December, indicating a strong revival of buyer confidence in early-stage projects.'
Siva Krishnan, Senior Managing Director (Chennai & Coimbatore) and Head - Residential Services, India, JLL, added, 'There has been a notable surge in demand for the premium segment (₹3-5 crore) and luxury segment (above ₹5 crore) compared to other segments during the first nine months of 2024, driven by rising disposable income and a preference for larger homes.'
Residential prices continued to grow in Q3 2024 in the top seven cities, with a Y-O-Y increase ranging from 3% to 20%. Delhi NCR saw the highest price increase at 19%, followed by Bengaluru with a 14% rise.
