Housing sales in Delhi-NCR are likely to increase 22 per cent during July-September 2024 to 10,263 units from 8,411 units in the corresponding period of the previous year.

Rise in fresh supply of homes was one of the major factors for an increase in sales in Delhi-NCR market, besides strong consumer demand.

Overall across nine major cities, PropEquity data shows that new launches in July-September 2024 may fall to 93,693 units from 1,05,655 units in the same period last year.

Sales are estimated to decline 18 per cent to 1,04,393 units in the quarter under review from 1,26,848 units in the same period last year.

These nine cities are -- Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane, Pune, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai and Kolkata.

Commenting on the NCR numbers, Gurugram-based Krisumi Corporation MD Mohit Jain said, "Middle and upper-middle-class buyers are showing a strong preference for spacious homes. The demand for luxury homes priced in the range of Rs 3-5 crore has witnessed tremendous demand particularly in Gurugram." Jain expects the upward trend in sales to continue in the upcoming festive season as well as over the next few years.

Sanju Bhadana, MD of Gurugram-based 4S Developers, attributed the rise in sales and launches in NCR to infrastructure development in the past few years.

On lower sales in the top 9 cities, property consultant InfraMantra founder Shiwang Suraj said, "The real estate market has traditionally been slow in the third quarter with developers holding up their launches for the festive quarter." "The enquiries from homebuyers have been encouraging and we are hopeful that the next quarter sales could potentially be higher than previous festive quarters," he added.

Gurugram-based real estate brokerage firm VS Realtors (I) Pvt Ltd founder and CEO Vijay Harsh Jha said, the NCR market has been performing exceptionally well defying the all-India trend.

Rochak Bakshi, Founder and CEO of True North Financial Services, said the demand is driven by investors because of price rise.

"The sharp appreciation has made most of properties beyond the reach of end-users and the possibility of a significant appreciation from the current level looks very unlikely," he added.
