Asal mein ho kya raha hai, suno. Developers ko lagta hai ki mehange wale flats bechna zyada faydemand hai. Zameen aur construction ka kharcha badh gaya hai, toh unka focus ab high-end properties par hai. Is wajah se, jo ghar ₹50 lakh se kam ke hain, unki sales 23% kam ho gayi hain. Poore 8 shehron mein yehi haal hai. Yahan tak ki ₹50 lakh se ₹1 crore wale flats ki bhi sales 12% gir gayi, jismein 23,567 units bik gaye.
Ab ₹1 crore se kam wale ghar total sales ka sirf 47% hain, jo pehle 54% tha. Developers profit ke chakkar mein mass market se door ho rahe hain. Lekin dusri taraf, ₹1-2 crore wale segment mein 10% ki growth hai, ₹2-5 crore wale segment mein 17% aur ₹20-50 crore wale segment mein toh 80% ka zabardast jump dikha hai!
Overall, sabhi categories ko mila kar housing sales 4% kam hui hain, total 84,827 units ka business hua hai. Ye sab isliye ho raha hai kyunki market mein premium properties ki demand zyada hai, aur Q1 2026 mein $5.1 billion ka record capital inflows bhi aaya hai.
Abhi sabse badi problem affordability ki hai. Q1 2026 mein, top cities mein property prices 14.1% badh kar average ₹14,633 per sq ft ho gayi hain, jabki demand ka growth slow ho gaya hai. Naye launches 26% badh kar 1.26 lakh units ho gaye hain, par sales se zyada naye units aa rahe hain.
Is beech, Reserve Bank of India ne home loan interest rates ko 8-9% ke aas-paas stable rakha hai, jo generally affordability ke liye achha hai. Lekin land aur construction material ka kharcha badhne se developers profit maintain karne ke liye higher-value segments ki taraf jaa rahe hain.
Global tensions jaise West Asia conflict ki wajah se bhi thodi cautiousness hai. Oil prices aur construction costs par bhi pressure hai, jo final prices ko affect kar raha hai. Q1 2026 mein overall housing sales mein 7% ka sequential dip bhi dekha gaya hai, haalanki year-on-year 9% ka increase hai. Inventory levels bhi 7% badh kar 6.01 lakh units ho gaye hain.
