Meanwhile, office space transactions grew 18% year-on-year during the three-month period to reach 19 million square feet, the highest quarterly absorption since Q1 2018. Bengaluru led the way with a 28% share in the total office volume transactions across the select eight cities during Q3 2024.
The report highlights that the residential segment has recorded sales to the tune of 2.6 lakh units so far in 2024, while the office category has registered leasing of 53.7 million square feet. The ₹1 crore and above segment continues to drive overall sales growth, with a 41% year-on-year growth in sales.
However, affordable housing remains a laggard, with sales declining by 14% annually. The report notes that the combined impact of rising prices, higher home loan rates, and the relatively adverse effects of the pandemic in this sector persisted, suppressing demand.
New launches were recorded at 90,479 units across the eight cities, recording a 6% year-on-year growth in Q3 2024. Mumbai and Pune saw the highest volume of units launched, collectively constituting 43% of the total units launched during the quarter.
Rent growth was seen across all office markets, with Bengaluru growing by a notable 158% year-on-year during the third quarter of the ongoing calendar year.
