India’s luxury real estate market is experiencing a significant influx of buyers, driven by a growing demand for high-end properties. Various factors, such as economic expansion and evolving consumer preferences, have contributed to an increase in sales within major urban centers.
A report from CBRE indicates that there was a remarkable year-on-year sales growth of 37.8% in residential properties priced above Rs. 4 crore during the period from January to September 2024. Luxury unit sales surged to 12,625 units in the first nine months of 2024, compared to 9,160 units during the corresponding period last year. The regions of Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, and Hyderabad collectively represented nearly 90% of total sales across the top seven cities, with Delhi-NCR at the forefront, recording 5,855 units sold.
