The regions of Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, and Hyderabad collectively accounted for nearly 90% of total sales across the top seven cities, with Delhi-NCR leading the pack with 5,855 units sold. The growing interest in high-end residential properties is primarily driven by wealthy buyers seeking homes that offer superior amenities and environments that align with their lifestyle. High-net-worth individuals (HNIs) are at the forefront of this surge, and their demand for luxury properties is expected to rise in tandem with ongoing economic development and urbanization in the country.
Developers are focusing on creating exclusive, luxury-oriented projects that provide privacy, exceptional amenities, and sustainable living options, specifically targeting affluent buyers and the HNI demographic. These projects are designed to cater to the sophisticated needs of luxury property buyers, offering features such as state-of-the-art security, premium finishes, and world-class recreational facilities.
The ‘Homebuyer Sentiment Survey—H1 2024,’ conducted by FICCI-Anarock, revealed that real estate continues to be the ‘most preferred investment option’ for people in the country. At least 59% of the respondents who participated in the survey stated that they prefer real estate as their top investment choice. The potential for long-term appreciation and stable returns on investment makes real estate an attractive option, leading many to channel their wealth into luxury properties. This has further fueled the thriving market for high-end homes in India.
For instance, Mahindra Lifespaces reported Rs 1,415 crore in pre-sales for the first half of FY25, indicating strong investor confidence in the luxury real estate sector. Similarly, Signature Global awarded a Rs 1,203 crore construction contract to Capacit’e Infraprojects Ltd, signaling continued development in the luxury housing market. However, it is important to note that projects less than 500 sqm are not registered under MahaRera, adding a layer of regulation to the market.
In conclusion, the luxury real estate market in India is booming, driven by a combination of economic growth, evolving consumer preferences, and the increasing wealth of high-net-worth individuals. Developers are capitalizing on this trend by creating exclusive, high-quality projects that cater to the needs of affluent buyers, ensuring the continued growth of this vibrant market.
