The survey, which covered over 550 respondents from 18 states across India, found that 53% of developers saw a rise in buyer enquiries and engagement in 2023 compared to 2022. About half of the surveyed developers feel that residential demand will remain stable in 2024, with nearly two-thirds willing to explore alternate segments like plotted developments, branded residences, etc.
Developers are confident that the demand momentum will continue in 2024, driven by factors such as stable interest rates, continued inclination for home ownership, and positive market sentiment. The survey also found that 45% of developers saw a 10-20% rise in construction costs in 2023 amidst rising input costs.
Boman Irani, President CREDAI, emphasized the importance of tackling rising construction costs and rationalizing taxes to sustain the current market dynamics in 2024. Badal Yagnik, CEO of Colliers India, noted that developers anticipate a rise in housing prices, reflecting their confidence in the residential market.
The survey also highlighted evolving trends in the real estate sector, including a growing demand for plotted developments, branded residences, and senior living spaces. About 66% of developers want to explore alternate business segments, while 30% are willing to diversify into other asset classes, including developments like warehousing/logistics parks and data centres.
Furthermore, the survey found that over 80% of developers are confident of increased housing demand from NRIs during 2024, led by the country's attractive investment landscape and potential for investment gains.
As the Budget approaches, developers continue to pitch for tax rationalisation, sops for affordable housing, and single-window clearances to ease business and help more people buy their dream houses. GST-related input tax concession and interest rate reduction could provide financial elbowroom to developers and improve the financial viability of projects.
