Out of the 58 homes, 53 were sold in Mumbai alone comprising 91% share of the total deals. Meanwhile Delhi-NCR recorded 4 deals with 2 ultra-luxury homes in Gurgaon and 2 bunglows in Delhi. One unit was sold in Hyderabad.
Puri mentioned that the demand for both luxury and ultra-luxury properties has surged since the pandemic. The High Net-worth Individuals (HNIs) and Ultra-HNIs are buying such homes for investment and personal use.
He further adds that this comes as these individuals are looking to reshuffle their investment portfolio amid the anticipated volatality in the stock market.
“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", Anuj Puri said.
The Anarock report also mentioned that Apartments remained the preferred property type for HNIs as of 58 deals, 53 were for apartments and the remaining for bunglows. At least 79% of the total deals were concluded by businessmen, and 16% by senior professionals from across various sectors. Politicians and Bollywood celebrities accounted for the remaining 5%.
