According to property advisory Knight Frank India’s “India Real Estate – Residential, January-June 2021" report, the January-June period recorded home sales of 99,416 residential units, a 67% rise compared to H1 2020.
Project launches were recorded at 103,238 units in H1 this year, witnessing a 71% surge compared to the corresponding period last year.
However, maximum sales and launches were witnessed in the January-March quarter, when the residential sector saw a significant recovery due to stamp duty relaxation in Maharashtra, low home loan rates and pent-up demand after the pandemic last year.
