Mumbai, November 30, 2023: Ultra-luxury homes (priced >INR 40 Cr each) have had an unprecedented bull-run in 2023, with both the number of sales and sales value of such assets hitting new peaks. Latest ANAROCK Research data finds that year 2023 till date has seen a staggering 247% yearly surge in terms of total sales value of ultra-luxury homes against the whole of 2022.

 Anuj Puri, Chairman – ANAROCK Group, says, “A total of 58 ultra-luxury homes have been sold across the top 7 cities in 2023 to date, for a collective sales value of approx. INR 4,063 Cr. In contrast, the whole of 2022 saw a total of 13 ultra-luxury homes sold in these cities for a total sales value of approx. INR 1,170 Cr.

Elaborating on the genesis of this unmatched appetite for trophy homes, Puri says, “Demand for both luxury and ultra-luxury properties has surged since the pandemic, with HNIs and ultra-HNIs buying such homes for investment, personal use, or both. The upsurge in demand for ultra-luxury homes can also be traced to the reshuffling of HNI investment portfolios amid the anticipated volatility in the stock market due to the existing geopolitical tensions. Not surprisingly, leading Grade A developers have also been scaling up their new supply in the ultra-luxury category. Among wealthy Indians, there is a very distinct FOMO aspect to securing the most desirable options before someone else does.”
