This significant increase is a result of steady price rises, which have caused a major shift in the dynamics of the residential real estate market. Just a year ago, homes priced above Rs 1 crore formed 24% of the market, meaning its share has grown by a whopping 13 percentage points.
In contrast, homes priced between Rs 45-75 lakh, which were once the largest category, now form the second largest segment with 26% of the market. The Rs 25-45 lakh price category, representing affordable homes, has lost momentum, with its share shrinking from 26% in Q1, 2019 to 17% in Q1, 2024.
The steepest decline has been in the lowest price band - homes priced up to Rs 25 lakh. From 25% of the overall market in Q1, 2019, its share has plummeted to 5% in Q1, 2024. According to industry experts, steep rises in the cost of materials, labour, and land prices have made such low-income projects unviable.
Industry analysts believe that this trend suggests a growing inclination towards upscale real estate offerings, potentially driven by factors such as increased disposable income and changing lifestyle preferences. As the market continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how the luxury segment grows and what implications it has for the overall real estate market in India.
