On the other hand, housing sales rose 31 per cent this year to nearly 4.77 lakh units — an all-time high — across seven major cities, a report released by property consultants Anarock said.

The sales increased to 4,76,530 units this calendar year from 3,64,870 units in 2022. The rise is despite a 15% appreciation in prices during the year.

Anarock Chairman Anuj Puri said, “2023 has been phenomenal for the Indian housing sector, despite global headwinds, rising domestic property prices, and interest rate hikes over the first half this year.” Housing sales in the top 7 cities breached the previous high of 2022, and new launches stayed in step with the current housing demand, he added.

Puri said it was widely expected that rising property prices and interest rates, along with global market uncertainties, would impact residential sales, but high demand sustained.

The Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) saw the highest sales among top seven cities, followed by Pune.
Sales in MMR rose 40 per cent to 1,53,870 units this year from 1,09,730 units in the previous year.

On supply side, Anarock said that new launches across top seven cities rose 25 per cent to 4,45,770 units in 2023, as opposed to 3,57,640 units in 2022.

Thirty one per cent of total new supply was in mid-range Rs 40 – 80 lakh price bracket, 28% in Rs 80 lakh – Rs 1.5 cr budget, 23% in the ticket price of > Rs 1.5 cr. The share of  affordable housing was lowest at 18%.

Across these seven cities, the consultant said housing prices rose 10-24 per cent, primarily due to increased input costs and strong demand.
Hyderabad recorded the highest yearly jump of 24 per cent in average residential prices to nearly Rs 5,750 per sq ft in 2023 from Rs 4,620 per sq ft last year.
