Shveta Jain, Managing Director, Residential Services, Savills India said, “Activity in the premium to luxury residential segment in NCR, Mumbai and Bengaluru is likely to remain robust in the first two quarters of 2023. The market movement, while being reliant on end users, has also benefited from investors seeking medium to long-term investment opportunities in both under construction and secondary spaces. Investor interest was also prominent for leisure locations offering both rental and capital appreciation opportunities. To capitalise on the new growing demand for second homes, developers have been seen making a bee line for land parcels ranging between 2,000 sq metres and 3 acres in locations such as Goa, Alibaug, Kasauli etc. The heightened demand is leading to both paucity of supply and increase in values for clear title land parcels.”
