Encouraging Signals from Housing.com’s IRIS Index The IRIS index (Buy) from Housing.com, a key indicator of future demand in India’s major cities, is trending at 131 points in December 2023, achieving 83 percent of its historical peak. This trend is indicative of a positive market outlook for the forthcoming months.

2024 Trends: Increased Demand for Larger Homes The trend towards larger home configurations, especially 3+BHK apartments, is gaining momentum. Search queries for these spacious layouts have escalated sixfold year-over-year in 2023, indicating a shift towards larger living spaces.

This segment has seen a remarkable 7.5 times increase in online property search volume year-over-year in 2023.

Mr. Dhruv Agarwala, Group CEO, Housing.com, PropTiger.com, & Makaan.com said “2023 stands as a landmark year in the Indian real estate sector, characterised by exceptional growth and resilience. Despite challenges like elevated interest rates and global uncertainties, the industry has demonstrated robustness. The RBI’s decision to pause rate hikes in April, coupled with pent-up post-pandemic demand, has significantly bolstered buyer confidence. A noticeable uptick in residential demand is evident across various market segments, heralding a promising 2024.”

Ms. Ankita Sood, Head of Research,  Housing.com, PropTiger.com, & Makaan.com said“2024 is well poised for taking the sector forward. We expect good momentum in both property buying and renting as our IRIS index which tracks upcoming demand, estimates northbound movement. Property prices surged 15-20% from pre-COVID levels and monthly rents, saw a spike of 25-50% in key areas of cities driven by the service industry. We see that growth for 2024 will not just be limited to the metros, but be driven by the Tier-2 cities as newfound economic and realty epicentres.”

Further, according to the Consumer Sentiment Outlook, a majority of homebuyers also show a preference for direct purchases from developers, indicating a renewed trust towards new property developments as compared to resale properties.

In conclusion, these trends depict a vibrant and evolving landscape of homebuyer preferences and expectations in India’s residential real estate market for 2024.
