The data highlights a significant shift in the mindset of home buyers, particularly among the elderly, who are seeking larger and better living conditions. The COVID-19 pandemic has played a crucial role in this shift, with many seniors opting to upgrade their homes to accommodate their families.
Traditionally, the older generation has favored a stable lifestyle, often choosing to own an apartment rather than rent. However, following the pandemic, there has been an increased inclination among senior citizens to upgrade their homes.
The desire to bring the entire family together under one roof and the need for better lifestyle-oriented spaces have resulted in increased share of property registrations in this age group. Many seniors are now opting for larger apartments, which has contributed to the growth in property registrations.According to Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director of Knight Frank India,
