In 2023, housing sales grew 33 per cent to 4,10,791 units across eight major cities as against 3,08,942 units in the previous year, driven by strong consumer sentiments towards home purchases.
This is the highest sales since 2013, which saw a record sales of 4,50,361 units, the consultant said.
New home launches were up 20% to 5,17,071 units from 4,31,510 units during the period under review.
"Despite initial challenges, such as rising interest rates, escalating input costs, and surging real estate prices amid global uncertainties, the industry demonstrated exceptional resilience. The pent-up demand following the pandemic served as a key driver, propelling the property market to unprecedented levels," Vikas Wadhawan, Group CFO of REA India, said.
The RBI's decision to pause rate hikes played a crucial role in boosting buyer confidence, he said.
