In most OECD countries, the gap between household incomes and property values has widened notably over the last decade, while soaring mortgage rates have curbed mortgage borrowing. Established housing markets such as Hong Kong, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom saw house prices decline in the first quarter of 2024. On the other hand, Turkey, Russia, and the United Arab Emirates recorded double-digit growth.

    Residential real estate in India - statistics and facts

    Generally considered the third key pillar of the food, clothing, and shelter trinity popularized in India over generations, owning a home is still prioritized as a measure of financial security by a vast majority of the Indian population.

India’s growing urban population, rising household incomes, and decade-long low-interest rates have been propelling the demand for residential units, driving up the sales volume. Even though the residential real estate sector was severely hit in 2020, it marked a strong recovery in consecutive years, crossing pre-COVID sales figures.
