Indian Cities Witness 4% Drop in Affordable Housing Sales
Real Estate Pune:The Indian housing market has experienced a significant shift in recent times. Sales of affordable homes priced up to Rs 60 lakh in eight major cities, including Delhi-NCR, Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Pune, and Ahmedabad, have witnessed a decline of 4% in the first quarter of 2024. According to PropEquity, a leading real estate data analytics firm, affordable home sales stood at 61,121 units during January-March this year, down from 63,787 units in the same period last year. This decline is attributed to a reduced supply of affordable housing units as builders focus on more lucrative luxury projects. With higher profit margins, builders are shifting their attention towards luxury apartments, leading to a significant drop in the fresh supply of affordable homes. This trend is a response to evolving consumer demands and economic conditions.
