New Delhi, Nov 7 || More than three in 10 (35 per cent) Indian property buyers are now interested in luxury and ultra-luxury homes, nearly double the 18 per cent recorded in the previous quarter (Q2), according to a report on Thursday, as disposable incomes rise amid overall economic growth.
This notable shift reflects growing confidence in the luxury housing market, according to the survey by real estate platform Magicbricks.
The findings showed that 25.5 per cent of prospective buyers are considering properties priced above Rs 1 crore, with significant interest in the Rs 3.5–Rs 5 crore segment.
The survey also underscores a strong preference for larger living spaces.
Around 45 per cent of respondents are seeking homes above 2,000 square feet, driven by post-Covid lifestyle changes and rising disposable incomes.
Additionally, 56 per cent of buyers favour configurations of 3BHK or larger, emphasizing a demand for more spacious and functional homes.
“These insights underline a dynamic shift in consumer preferences, reinforcing the luxury segment’s prominence in India's real estate landscape,” said the report.
Meanwhile, a majority of homebuyers in India expects property prices to rise by 6-15 per cent over the next 12 months, citing capital appreciation and rental yields as key motivators.
