Team L&M

Residential property prices in India have witnessed significant growth over the past five years, driven by strong housing demand and increased new supply across key cities. According to ANAROCK Research, several high-activity micro-markets in the top seven cities have recorded remarkable price appreciation between 2019 and H1 2024.

Top Micro-Markets with Highest Price Appreciation in India

Among the leading micro-markets, Bengaluru’s Bagaluru recorded the highest price appreciation of 90%, making it one of the fastest-growing real estate destinations in India.

• Prices increased from ₹4,300/sq. ft. in 2019 to ₹8,151/sq. ft. in H1 2024
• Over 94% of new supply was in the mid and premium segments (₹40 lakh–₹1.5 Cr)
• No new affordable housing supply was recorded

Hyderabad’s Kokapet followed closely with 89% appreciation:

• Prices rose from ₹4,750/sq. ft. to ₹9,000/sq. ft.

Bengaluru’s Whitefield ranked third with 80% price growth:

City-Wise Property Price Growth Trends

Across the top seven cities:

• Average housing prices increased by over 44% in five years
• Hyderabad led with 64% growth, followed by Bengaluru (57%)

• Kolkata saw the lowest growth at 25%

This highlights a strong post-pandemic recovery in India’s real estate market, especially in high-demand urban corridors.

New Supply vs Price Growth: Breaking the Myth

Contrary to popular belief, high housing supply does not necessarily limit price growth. Several micro-markets with substantial new launches have recorded sharp price appreciation.

For instance:

This trend reflects end-user demand, infrastructure development, and investor confidence driving prices upward.

India’s residential real estate market continues to show resilience and strong growth momentum, supported by rising demand, infrastructure expansion, and strategic urban development.

Micro-markets with strong connectivity, employment hubs, and premium housing supply are leading the growth cycle. As demand remains steady, property prices in India are expected to maintain an upward trajectory, especially in high-growth corridors.
