According to the report, more than 65 per cent of prospective buyers are entering the market as end-users, while investors appear to be taking a measured pause. 'Among all cities, Bengaluru has the largest share (43 per cent) of buyers seeking property specifically for investment; the remaining 57 per cent are end-users,' the report noted. Delhi-NCR, on the other hand, has the lowest share of investors at 26 per cent, with 74 per cent of buyers seeking to buy as end-users.
Around 63 per cent of buyers consider real estate as the 'most preferred' investment asset class, marking a 4 per cent increase over the previous year. The report also highlighted that 62 per cent of aspiring buyers of affordable housing are dissatisfied with the current available options in the market, with 92 per cent of these buyers being unhappy with the project locations.
As much as 90 per cent of buyers stated that these projects are of low construction quality and are 'poorly designed', while 77 per cent of respondents find the unit sizes too small to be of utility and interest. 'These findings dovetail disturbingly with the documented demand contraction for affordable housing, or homes priced at or under Rs 45 lakh,' said Anuj Puri, Chairman of ANAROCK Group.
The report further highlighted that rising home prices are a major concern for over 81 per cent of property seekers across India. The top seven cities have seen average residential prices rise by over 50 per cent in the last two years, from Rs 6,001 per square feet in Q2 2023 to Rs 8,990 per square feet by Q2 2025. This significant increase in property prices is affecting the affordability and accessibility of homes for many potential buyers.
