The report highlights that the increase in sales has been driven by the demand for premium housing priced over Rs 1 crore. However, concerns have been noted in the affordable housing segment, where sales have dropped due to challenges related to availability and affordability.
Mumbai led the pack with 24,222 units sold, marking a new high for the market and a 9% year-on-year increase.
