Puri explains, “The general belief that increased supply restricts price growth is not always applicable. Many active residential micro-markets have defied this trend. For instance, Greater Noida West, despite significant new supply, saw a remarkable 129% price appreciation.”
As cities continue to evolve and attract a diverse range of buyers, including professionals and investors, the demand for housing remains robust. With urbanisation on the rise and new projects continuously being launched, the trajectory for property prices seems poised for sustained growth, creating both opportunities and challenges for prospective buyers and developers alike.
In conclusion, as the housing market adapts to post-pandemic realities, the balance of demand and supply will be crucial in shaping the future landscape of residential real estate in India’s major cities.
