Commenting on the numbers, Anarock Chairman Anuj Puri said: "The bull run in the housing market continued in the first quarter of 2022, with approx 10 per cent quarter-on-quarter and 71 per cent year-on-year growth in sales, thus recording all-time high quarterly sales since 2015".
The impact of the third COVID-19 wave was significantly lower than of the preceding two waves, he added.
"The unrelenting appetite for homeownership amid the pandemic has coupled with a growing certainty of impending price rises to speed up housing sales velocity," Puri said.
