The significant surge in housing prices can be attributed to the steep hikes in construction costs and healthy sales. After maintaining a status quo from late 2016 to 2019, the pandemic struck, and the demand for residential properties soared to new heights. Developers initially offered discounts and freebies to induce sales, but as demand increased, they gradually hiked prices.
Anuj Puri, Chairman - ANAROCK Group, said, 'The COVID-19 pandemic was a boon for these two residential markets, causing demand to soar to new heights.' He added, 'Paradoxically, the pandemic was an undisguised blessing for the National Capital Region.'
The unsold inventory in both regions has also witnessed a significant decline. In NCR, the unsold stock reduced by over 52% in the last five years, from approximately 1.82 lakh units at H1 2019-end to approximately 86,900 units by H1 2024-end. The region has seen a sharp decline in its unsold stock, and the inventory overhang has reduced to 16 months in NCR in H1 2024 as against 44 months back in H1 2019.
In MMR, the current available stock is at approximately 1.95 lakh units, with a 13% decline in its unsold stock in the last five years. The region has seen over 5.26 lakh units launched between H1 2019 and H1 2024, thrice the new supply in NCR during this period.
Aakash Ohri, Joint Managing Director and Chief Business Officer, DLF Homes, said, 'The surge in demand for homes underscores a fundamental shift in people's perception of homeownership, where the value of having a place to call home has become more apparent than ever before.'
Within NCR, Gurugram has emerged as a preferred choice for luxury homebuyers, with a large presence of HNIs and UNHIs base and a significant rise in the number of affluent millennials in the region.
