This robust growth can be attributed to better demand for premium homes, stable mortgage rates, and strong economic growth, as reported by property consultant Knight Frank.
Last month, another real estate consultant, Anarock, noted a 4% decline in housing sales to nearly 4.6 lakh units across seven major cities, but Knight Frank’s data provides a more optimistic outlook.
In a virtual conference, Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director of Knight Frank India, highlighted that the demand for homes priced between Rs 2-5 crore each has been particularly strong.
He noted that cities like Hyderabad and Pune have reached all-time highs, while Mumbai has recorded its highest sales in 13 years.
