Considering these factors, many exited the Indian market between October 2024 and March 2025, offloading \u20b92.16 Lakh Crores. As a result, people have started to invest their money in a steady and more lucrative option\u2014real estate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anupam Rastogi, Co-founder and Chief Business Officer of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Square Yards<\/a>, noted that many investors have been \u201clooking at real estate as an attractive asset class.\u201d However, the ANAROCK data has also shown that housing sales dropped 11.5% in Q1 of 2025 in the top 7 towns. This indicates a decline in housing sales from 1,02,083 units in Q4 2024 to 90,330 units.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Housing Prices Rise 10\u201334% Despite an 11.5% Drop in Sales<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rastogi commented, \u201cHowever, ongoing economic and geopolitical uncertainties have made investors adopt an optimistic yet cautious stance.\u201d This has increased the average residential property prices by 10 to 34% in the top 7 cities in Q1 compared to the previous year. Of those towns, Delhi NCR and Bangalore had the highest inflation jumps of 34% and 20%, respectively.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anupam Rastogi remarked, \u201cGoing forward, residential demand is expected to grow in a range, particularly in key localities, supported by end-user and investor interest, long-term investment planning, and desire for diversification.\u201d Market analysts recommend that investors take a selective approach when allocating capital across different investment options.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This change in investment appears well-timed considering the current state of the economy. The Indian economy expanded by 6.2% in Q4 2024, 3.3% less than last year.
