“Housing price growth accelerated after the pandemic, particularly if we consider the last two years,” said Anuj Puri, Chairman, ANAROCK Group.

“As per our data, the top 7 cities collectively saw over 44 per cent of price appreciation in the last five years. At a city level, Hyderabad recorded the highest jump of 64 per cent between 2019 and H1 2024, followed by Bengaluru with a 57 per cent increase. The lowest price growth of 25 per cent was seen in Kolkata. NCR and MMR both witnessed a 48 per cent price appreciation each in this period,” Puri added.

The commonly held notion that high new supply in a market tends to curtail price growth is not entirely true, said Anarock, noting that many of residential properties have seen significant price appreciation over the last five years. For instance, Greater Noida West in NCR in the last five years, saw a whopping 129 per cent price appreciation.
