“The government’s strong push, coupled with the RBI’s decision to pause the repo rate in the last two instances, along with moderate inflation, have played a pivotal role in revitalizing the residential market. The demand for homes is projected to remain growth-oriented in the medium term as well,” Siva Krishnan, Senior Managing Director and Head – Residential, India at JLL, said.
He expected strong sales in the second half of this year, driven by festive demand.
Realty firm Krisumi Corporation, which is into luxury projects in Gurugram, Managing Director Mohit Jain said, “the top residential markets have consistently performed well, with sales witnessing an upward trend in the past few quarters.”
Jain attributed the growth to robust demand across all price brackets, particularly in the mid and premium housing segments, driven by strong desire to own properties and the stability in home loan interest rates.
