Mumbai MMR Sets New Benchmark with Average Home Sales at INR 94 Lakh

Mumbai, Maharashtra, July 15, 2024 – The Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) has recorded an unprecedented surge in average registered home sales value in the second quarter of 2024, according to the latest report by Square Yards. The average registered home sales value basis the IGR data, analysed by Square Yards, reached a record-high of Rs. 94 lakh, reflecting a 10% YoY growth, despite a decrease in the total number of registered transactions in the region.

In the June 2024 quarter, a total of 50,025 residential real estate transactions were registered across Mumbai MMR, amounting to a registered sales value of Rs. 46,833 crore. Although there was a 6% drop in the overall registered sales value year-over-year (YoY) in Q2 2024 (April-June), this occurred alongside a steeper 15% decline in the total number of registered transactions during the same period. This dynamic coupled with record-high average registered sales value across Mumbai MMR, suggests a growing appetite for high-valued homes.

Mumbai MMR Residential Real Estate Summary – Q2 2024 (April-June)
  Q2 2024 Q1 2024 Q2 2023 YoY QoQ
Registered Residential Transactions (No. of units) 50,025 60,719 58,823 -15% -18%

Average Registered Sales Value (Rs. crore) 0.94 0.89 0.85 10% 5%

Indrajit Sidhanta, Principal Partner & Head of Business Development, Square Yards said, “Recent data from June 2024 quarter highlights that, although the total number of registered transactions has fallen, there’s been a notable increase in average sales value. This rise points to a growing interest in premium properties from Grade A developers, not only in Mumbai but also in peripheral areas, and reflects the confidence of buyers and investors in the region’s robust residential real estate sector.”

“Also, historically the June quarter tends to be a bit slower, but we anticipate an upswing as developers are strategically positioning themselves in key localities across Mumbai MMR, and gearing up with a strong pipeline of projects to capitalize on the upbeat homebuyer sentiment during the upcoming festive season,” he noted.

Pune’s Real Estate Boom – Is Now the Perfect Time to Invest?

Pune, one of India’s most vibrant real estate markets, has experienced rapid changes over the past few years. Latest data from leading real estate consultancies show a scenario of strong housing price increases and ongoing changes in market dynamics, pointing towards further price hikes in the future.

According to real estate consultants Anarock, Pune and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) saw over 50% of the overall housing sales in Q2 2024 among the top seven cities. This is a resounding statement for Pune — a city once considered the laid-back cousin of the financial capital and is now competing in the same league.

Rising Property Prices: A Continuum

Recent data from various leading consultancies clearly show Pune’s trend of rising property prices. There has been a significant 20-23% year-on-year increase compared to Q1 2023. This resilience and rising demand are driving prices higher. Several factors explain Pune’s growing housing prices

– Economic Growth & Employment Opportunities: Pune’s real estate market has improved significantly due to its development into a major IT and manufacturing center. High demand from professionals seeking homes near their workplaces has led to a surge in property values in and around IT parks and manufacturing hubs.

– Infrastructure Development: Ongoing and planned infrastructure improvements such as road extensions, new flyovers, and the Pune Metro are boosting the city’s property values and connectivity. This dynamic is evident across Greater Pune, which includes the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) and the infrastructure-driven Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC).

– Shift in Housing Segments: Pune’s housing market is now driven by mid-range and premium-to-luxury housing, thanks to higher demand for such options. The higher purchasing and borrowing power of the target clientele supports ongoing price increases.

So – Buy Now or Later?

To answer this very important question, it is necessary to consider some fundamentals. Pune’s strong economic growth draws professionals and families from various industries. The city offers a high livability quotient, better housing affordability, and a superior climate compared to neighboring Mumbai. It also boasts top-grade healthcare and education options and proximity to Mumbai, Maharashtra’s main economic hub.

Pune has delivered an overall residential price appreciation of well over 20% in just one year. Naturally, both end-users and investors find the city very appealing, especially considering its rapid growth since 2020, which saw Pune’s lowest year for housing demand in the last decade due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Job losses, economic disruption, and the disappearance of construction labour brought building activity to a halt. The lockdowns caused a significant decline in real estate market demand and supply.

But in 2021, the market began to bounce back powerfully. With a 17% year-on-year increase, Pune saw the highest property sales since 2013. Buyer confidence increased steadily. In 2023, the Pune housing market rebounded remarkably. The current year is poised to set new benchmarks.

The writing is clearly on the wall — there is no stopping the Pune housing market, and a wait-and-watch stance can cost buyers dearly. For those who want to buy a home in Pune, either to live here or to reap investment returns, there is a strong argument for acting now. Historical data and current patterns clearly imply that the city’s property values will keep rising.

Given the continuous growth of the city and its expanding economic base, homes bought now will deliver significant value addition over time. Pune is currently second only to Mumbai in new residential launches and sales and is also attracting increasing interest from institutional investors eyeing its commercial real estate market.

This means more workplaces, more jobs, and even higher housing demand driving prices steadily northward. For potential buyers and investors, the message is clear – there is no equity in waiting for a more opportune time in Pune’s thriving housing market.

Unsold Housing Inventory: NCR Cities Down 57%, Gurgaon Down 37%

GURGAON: Going by a region’s prevailing unsold housing inventory as an indicator of its realty market’s health, North India’s Delhi-NCR – once notorious for speculation-driven oversupply and all-round market disarray – is in significantly better shape than the other regions.

Director GLS, Surinder Singh

Latest data by real estate consultants indicates that Delhi-NCR’s unsold inventory declined by a massive 57% in the last five years.

NCR is followed by Southern markets – Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Chennai – which saw their collective unsold stock shrink by 11% in this period. MMR and Pune in the West saw their cumulative unsold stock reduce by 8%. In the East, Kolkata saw its unsold inventory decline by an impressive 41% in the period. NCR’s unsold stock declined from approx. 2 lakh units at Q1 2018-end to approx. 86,420 units by Q1 2024-end.

NCR based developers are upbeat with the development and said the residential market has regained confidence and will continue in the coming years. Mr. Surinder Singh, Director GLS Group, said “The improved sentiments in the real estate sector, coupled with increased demand for homes, have significantly reduced our unsold inventory. This positive shift reflects our commitment to meeting market needs and delivering quality living spaces.”

Of the total unsold inventory in NCR, Gurgaon currently has the maximum stock of approx. 33,326 units – a 37% decrease in the last five years.

Noida had approx. 7,451 unsold units by Q1 2024-end, against 25,669 units in the same quarter of 2018 – thus declining by 71%, topping the list. “Greater Noida is next with approx. 18,668 units lying unsold as of Q1 2024-end. However, Greater Noida reduced its stock by a whopping 70% since Q1 2018. Ghaziabad saw its unsold stock decline to approx. 11,011 units in Q1 2024, from approx. 37,005 units in Q1 2018 – a massive 70% 5-year decline” said the report.

Delhi, Faridabad & Bhiwadi together had approx. 15,964 unsold units as on Q1 2024-end, from approx. 23,038 units at Q1 2018-end – a 31% decrease.

“What really worked for the NCR market was developers’ determination to keep new supply additions under control. ANAROCK data indicates that NCR witnessed total new supply of approx. 1.81 lakh units between Q1 2018 to Q1 2024. NCR’s upbeat performance also reflects renewed buyer confidence in the region” said Singh.
