The report highlights that the top 9 cities, including Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Hyderabad, and others, will witness a significant decline in housing sales. Mumbai, which is one of the most expensive property markets in the country, is expected to be hit the hardest. The report predicts that the city will witness a 3% decline in sales, with only around 22,000 units being sold during the quarter.
Delhi NCR, which is the second-largest real estate market in the country, is also expected to experience a slowdown. The report predicts that the region will witness a 2% decline in sales, with around 35,000 units being sold during the quarter.
Hyderabad, which has been a bright spot in the Indian real estate market, is also expected to experience a decline in sales. The report predicts that the city will witness a 1% decline in sales, with around 10,000 units being sold during the quarter.
The decline in housing sales is attributed to various factors, including the ongoing pandemic, rising interest rates, and increasing inflation. The pandemic has led to a decline in consumer sentiment, with many potential homebuyers preferring to wait and watch before making a purchase. Additionally, the rising interest rates and increasing inflation have made it difficult for many homebuyers to afford a house.
However, despite the decline in sales, the report notes that the Indian real estate market is expected to recover soon. The government's initiatives to boost the sector, including the extension of the credit-linked subsidy scheme and the reduction in GST rates, are expected to improve consumer sentiment and boost sales.
