With its largest sales in the midrange and luxury home segments, hyderabad became a focal point in this changing dynamic. In the meantime, sales of luxury homes in the National capital Region (NCR) surged, indicating a significant reversal of the trend from five years prior.
This is a far cry from the situation that prevailed five years ago when affordable housing accounted for 37% of the market. The shifting environment is further highlighted by the regional differences in housing patterns. In Q1 2024, cities such as hyderabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Pune, mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), and Bengaluru had strong sales in the premium and mid-range categories, which are priced between Rs. 40 lakh and Rs. 1.5 crore.
Prior to COVID-19, 11% of newly constructed residences in the top seven cities were luxury properties. This percentage increased to a staggering 25% in Q1 2024.
