 According to Dr. Samantak Das, Chief Economist and Head Research & REIS, India, JLL, “The increase in number of luxury residential transactions in 2023 demonstrated the robust demand for such high-end properties in India.  Notably, out of the 45 luxury homes sold in 2023, 14 homes were in the price segment of INR 100 crore and above, with majority (79%) of them in Mumbai. The interest for such properties is expected to strengthen in future as there is both the aspiration for high-end bespoke living and the confidence of affluent buyers in the long-term value that these properties hold.”

It is interesting to note that in terms of transaction breakdown, apartments accounted for 58% of the total luxury deals, while bungalows made up the remaining 42%. Twenty-six apartment transactions were closed, majority (92%) of them in Mumbai. Whereas most of the bungalow transactions were recorded in Delhi NCR.

“In the first two months of 2024, at least four homes priced at INR 50 crore and above have already been sold with a combined worth of INR 397 crore. We foresee an upward trend in luxury residential transactions in 2024. With a growing segment of high-net-worth individuals seeking exclusive and opulent living spaces, the demand for luxury properties is expected to surge. Moreover, with growing number of HNIs in the country, the demand for these homes will grow further” explained Ritesh Mehta, Senior Director, and Head (North and West), residential services and developer initiative, JLL India.
