NEW DELHI: Sales of luxury homes priced at Rs 4 crore and above have seen 37.8% year-on-year growth during the January to September this year, according to a report by CBRE South Asia.
Total sales of luxury homes during the first nine months of this year stood at 12,625 compared to 9,160 units during the same period last year.
Anshuman Magazine, chairman and CEO of India, South-East Asia, Middle East & Africa, CBRE, said, “We also foresee heightened demand in the high-end and premium segments, with traditional mid-range markets like Noida, Bengaluru, Pune, and Chennai increasingly gravitating towards luxury developments. As the market shifts from bungalows to modern apartments and penthouses, the premiumization of amenities will be a key differentiator in luxury projects.”

Delhi-NCR topped with sales of 5,855 units, a 72% year on year increase, followed by Mumbai at 3,820 units, recording 18% year on year growth.
Hyderabad has seen sales of 1,540 luxury homes.
Pune recorded a noteworthy increase in luxury sales activity, with 810 unit sales in the same period.
Moreover, Kolkata saw 1.6-fold increase in luxury residential sales.
The steady demand has encouraged developers to introduce new projects and additional phases, adding approximately 215,000 units to the market.
