Chairman and CEO of CBRE for India, South East Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, Anshuman Magazine, said that over the next few years, the luxury/high-end residential sector in India is predicted to rise rapidly. The desire for luxury homes in India is fueled by the country’s concentration of high-net-worth individuals.
Potential buyers are looking for larger areas that will provide them with an improved lifestyle, protect their well-being, and provide seamless integration of new work modes as a result of the normalisation of work-from-home culture.
Demand is rising in the premium and luxury categories, driven by predicted capital gains and an increase in HNI and NRI activities.
In Q3 2022, almost 85,000 units were introduced, with high-end, premium, and luxurious homes accounting for 22% of the net supply as a result of rising demand for these areas and activities from HNIs and NRIs. Demand is rising in the premium and luxury categories, driven by predicted capital gains and an increase in HNI and NRI activities.
After being confined to their houses during lockdowns and recently, wealthy businessmen and executives are looking for bigger properties.
