“Luxury homes are driving housing sales across most cities since the first Covid-19 wave,” says Anuj Puri, Chairman – ANAROCK Group. “The quest for more space – one of the defining characteristics of luxury homes – fuels most of this demand, which has helped developers to clear significant chunks of their unsold luxury stock. Data also reveals a 1% decline in the overall unsold stock of luxury homes priced >INR 2.5 Cr across all top 7 cities; however, MMR saw a 24% yearly decline in its unsold luxury stock. In fact, the current luxury stock of approx. 15,520 units is the lowest the city has held in this category in a long time.”
Furthermore, despite increased new supply in the top 7 cities in Q1 2023, overall unsold stock across all budget categories remained static in the period. It was approx. 6.28 lakh units by Q1 2022-end and stood at approx. 6.27 lakh units as on Q1 2023-end.
