The quarter witnessed total sales of around 4,410 luxury housing units compared to around 3,150 units during the same quarter last year.
The report added that Kolkata also saw a notable two-fold increase in luxury residential sales. The surge in demand for luxury housing has been primarily driven by a growing preference by affluent buyers seeking enhanced amenities and more spacious living areas that complement their multifaceted lifestyle.
“We foresee a strong momentum in the housing market for the remainder of the year. This optimism is driven by favourable home-buying sentiments, festive season promotions, and significant land acquisitions by developers. These elements are expected to balance supply and demand dynamics and invigorate market activity” said Anshuman Magazine, Chairman & CEO – India, South-East Asia, Middle East & Africa, CBRE.
He also added that “the luxury housing segment, particularly for properties priced at INR 4 crore and above, is set to thrive as buyers seek homes that align with their affluent lifestyles. Capital value growth in this segment is projected to stabilise, with an increasing focus on core project fundamentals such as quality, location, and access to essential infrastructure”.
Additionally, the report added that aspirational class has been on an upward trend, significantly driving luxury sales. Furthermore, the rise in NRI and astute investors in the Indian real estate market has considerably contributed to the heightened demand for luxury properties. This trend aligns with the noticeable shift in buyer preferences towards high-end units launched by leading developers, as evidenced by the substantial market share of tier-I developers.
The report noted that this shift is expected to persist, reflecting the evolving expectations of modern homebuyers who are now more discerning and well-informed about developer reputation, execution capability, and financial capability.
