Shalin Raina, Managing Director, Residential Services, Cushman & Wakefield said, “Over the past year, a significant rise in demand for high-end and luxury properties has emerged. This shift reflects a change in homebuyers’ growing desire to invest in a place not only to live but as a high-quality asset that reflects their lifestyle aspirations.” Furthermore, he said the demand for larger, more luxurious homes has attracted established developers, who have the wherewithal to deliver premium, customized living spaces.
“This trend has led to a surge in launches by established developers, significantly increasing their year-on-year contribution to the residential market. We expect this momentum to continue,” Raina said. PTI MJH DR
