Dwarka, GK emerge as most searched Delhi localities: Magicbricks Report, Jan-Mar’23

New Delhi/ Noida, April 6, 2023: Residential demand and supply in Delhi declined by 12.8% and 5.9% QoQ, respectively, while price increased by 2.8% QoQ, observed Magicbricks PropIndex Report January – March 2023. Further, owing to metro rail connectivity, quality infrastructure, and the availability of multiple residential options, Dwarka and Greater Kailash emerged as the most searched localities of Delhi.

The report further observed that Delhi’s residential market recorded the highest demand for 3BHK where 52% of the homebuyers showed preference towards this configuration. This was followed by 2BHK units which commanded a 30% share of the total demand.

Elaborating on the trends, Sudhir Pai, CEO, Magicbricks commented, “Several multilateral agencies have projected that the Indian economy will grow by 6-7% in FY’ 23, despite the global slowdown. The recent Union Budget has also introduced several encouraging initiatives, including substantial allocations to PMAY and UIDF, which have set the wheels in motion for facilitating employment opportunities and infrastructure development. Given the under-served demand for home-ownership in the affordable and mid-range segment, we are optimistic about the growth trajectory for residential demand in the coming quarters as well. We anticipate that the market will stabilise, supplemented by new projects, and expedited delivery of under-construction properties, which will open up new avenues for investment and innovation.”

The report concludes that owing to inflationary pressures on infrastructure costs, the average rate of ready-to-move and under-construction properties increased 2.1% and 9.3% QoQ, respectively.
