Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, and Hyderabad emerged as the leading markets, accounting for nearly 84% of the total luxury housing sales across the top seven cities. Pune recorded a noteworthy increase in luxury sales activity, with demand growing nearly six-fold on an annual basis to touch around 1,100 units.
The report highlighted that Delhi-NCR topped the list with sales of around 3,300 units, a 13.8% year-on-year increase, followed by Mumbai at around 2,500 units, recording 13.6% year-on-year growth. Hyderabad saw a 44% year-on-year increase in sales, with around 1,300 units sold, while Pune registered sales of 1,100 units, marking a 450% year-on-year increase during this period.
The surge in demand for luxury housing has been driven primarily by a growing preference among affluent buyers seeking enhanced amenities and more spacious living areas that complement their multifaceted lifestyle. The aspirational class has been on an upward trend, significantly driving luxury sales. Furthermore, the rise in NRI and astute investors in the Indian real estate market has considerably contributed to the heightened demand for luxury properties.
The report added that the Indian housing market maintained its robust momentum during the Jan-Jun'24 period, with a total of 156,000 units sold, and over 153,000 new units launched across all categories. Mumbai, Pune, and Bengaluru emerged as the leading cities, accounting for an impressive 63% share in total residential sales in India during Jan-Jun'24.
Anshuman Magazine, Chairman & CEO - India, South-East Asia, Middle East & Africa, CBRE, said, 'We foresee a strong momentum in the housing market for the remainder of the year. This optimism is driven by favourable home-buying sentiments, festive season promotions, and significant land acquisitions by developers.
