Manila led the way with a 26% year-on-year price growth, followed closely by Mumbai. New Delhi and Bengaluru also saw notable increases, with 10.6% and 3.7% rises in prime residential property prices, respectively. New Delhi moved up to the 3rd position from 26th last year, while Bengaluru maintained its 15th spot.
The premium segment has been the primary driver of sales growth across India, reflecting the increasing affluence and lifestyle aspirations of the wealthy. Shishir Baijal, CMD of Knight Frank India, anticipates that this momentum will continue in 2024, supported by a strong economic outlook.
The Prime Global Cities Index tracks prime residential price movements across 44 cities worldwide in local currency terms. Globally, annual price growth slowed to 2.6% in the second quarter of 2024 from 4.1% in the previous quarter, below the long-term average of 5.3%. While markets like Dubai and Miami, which have experienced significant gains since 2020, have seen moderate growth, European cities such as Stockholm are gaining momentum.
Knight Frank's Global Head of Research, Liam Bailey, emphasized that the future of price growth largely depends on central banks' willingness to cut rates further in the next 12 months. Indian markets, however, remain an exception to this global trend, with continued growth in prime residential prices underscoring the country's expanding wealth and rising aspirations.
