New residential realty launches witness 61% of Year-on-Year growth: PropTiger.com report

Mumbai, 29th September 2022: With the festive season in full swing, India’s real estate developers are hopeful about the sector receiving a boost towards recovery, and their wishes are already coming true. New supply registered a YoY growth of 61 percent when compared to Q3 2021 (July – September). The report also stated that the new supply is at par with the 2015 levels for the second consecutive quarter.

According to Real Insight Residential – July-September 2022, a quarterly report on residential market trends released by REA India-owned digital real estate transaction and advisory services platform PropTiger.com, on the back of strong demand, residential sales have continued to show robust growth while registering sales of 83,220 units, a 49% YoY growth between July-September 2022 as compared to 55,910 units sold in the corresponding period last year.

“The real estate industry is bouncing back from the pandemic and subsequent disruptions, and it’s evident from the data trends and insights in our report. Especially with the festive season which has just commenced, we’re experiencing a continuous surge in consumers’ positive sentiments towards property investments. Q3 this year has seen a significant improvement in the demand for housing and this will set the ball rolling for the next quarter as well,” said Vikas Wadhawan, Group CFO, PropTiger.com, Housing.com, and Makaan.com.

Mr. Wadhawan further added, “Despite the slight increase in overall interest rates, the demand for housing hasn’t dipped, thanks to renewed thrust towards home ownership. In fact, we’ve gauged from our report that the demand for residential properties has surpassed the pre-pandemic levels of 2019’s Q3 (July – September). With the festive sentiments and varied discounts offered, developers are sure to further pique consumers’ interest in purchasing the property.”

Mumbai & Pune topping the charts again:
