Luxury Housing Market Sees Significant Growth in Top Indian Cities
Real Estate News:The Indian luxury housing market, comprising units priced above Rs 4 crore, has recorded a significant 27% year-over-year increase in sales during the January-June 2024 period. According to a report by CBRE South Asia Pvt. Ltd., titled 'India Market Monitor Q2 2024', the total sales of luxury units during this period stood at 8,500, compared to 6,700 units during the same period last year.

Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, and Hyderabad emerged as the leading cities, accounting for nearly 84% of the total luxury housing sales across the top seven cities. Pune recorded a noteworthy increase in luxury sales activity, with demand growing nearly six-fold on an annual basis to touch 1,100 units.

The surge in demand for luxury housing has been primarily driven by a growing preference by affluent buyers seeking enhanced amenities and more spacious living areas that complement their multifaceted lifestyle. Additionally, the aspirational class has been on an upward trend, significantly driving luxury sales. Furthermore, the rise in NRI and astute investors in the Indian real estate market has considerably contributed to the heightened demand for luxury properties.

The overall residential sector in India maintained its robust momentum during the January-June 2024 period, with a total of 1,56,000 units sold and over 1,53,000 new units launched across all categories. Mumbai, Pune, and Bangalore emerged as the leading cities, accounting for a 63% share in total residential sales in India during January-June 2024.

Anshuman Magazine, chairman & CEO – India, South-East Asia, Middle East & Africa, CBRE, said, 'We foresee a strong momentum in the housing market for the remainder of the year. This optimism is driven by favourable homebuying sentiments, festive season promotions, and significant land acquisitions by developers. These elements are expected to balance supply and demand dynamics and invigorate market activity.'

The luxury housing segment, particularly for properties priced at Rs 4 crore and above, is set to thrive as buyers seek homes that align with their affluent lifestyles. Capital value growth in this segment is projected to stabilize, with an increasing focus on core project fundamentals such as quality, location, and access to essential infrastructure.
