New Delhi, November 21, 2022: Average housing prices have increased by nearly 5 per cent since the beginning of this calendar year on account of rise in input cost and a strong revival in demand, according to PropTiger.com.

As per the firm’s Real Insight Report, the average prices of residential properties in primary markets across eight cities stood at Rs 6,600-6,800 per square feet. The prices have appreciated by nearly 5 per cent from Rs 6,300-6,500 since the end of the December quarter.

While the weighted average prices have risen marginally (5-6%) across the top cities, they have risen at a higher rate in key micro markets of major cities such as Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Gurugram.

In calendar Q3 2022, average prices for new supply and existing inventory across top eight cities appreciated by 3-13% as compared to the same period in the previous year.

Vikas Wadhawan, Group CFO, PropTiger.com, Housing.com & Makaan.com said, “We are witnessing a modest price increase in the primary housing market. This is mainly because of the sharp rise in prices of key raw materials like cement and steel. Apart from rising input cost, a strong revival in demand after the second wave of the COVID pandemic has put an upward pressure on prices.”
