While the luxury market thrives, the mid and affordable housing segments have struggled to keep pace. Sales of homes in the ₹50 lakh to ₹1 crore range have dropped by 13%, and those priced under ₹50 lakh have seen a 14% decline. Rising interest rates on home loans and limited inventory in the affordable sector have contributed to this slowdown.
City-wise, Mumbai led the pack, recording the highest number of units sold at 24,222, followed by Bengaluru and Pune. These cities continue to be hotspots for real estate investment, driven by a combination of urbanization and high demand for quality housing. On the other hand, the National Capital Region (NCR) experienced a 7% dip in sales, primarily due to low inventory in the mid and affordable segments.
The trend highlights a growing divide in India's housing market, where high-end properties are flourishing while the affordable segment struggles with challenges. Developers are increasingly focusing on luxury offerings, making it harder for budget-conscious buyers to find suitable homes.
As India's real estate market evolves, it's clear that the luxury segment is playing a dominant role, reshaping the industry's landscape. With the demand for premium properties expected to grow, the future looks bright for high-end real estate.
