The Surge of Luxury Real Estate in India: A 2024 Overview

In 2024, India’s luxury real estate market experienced an unprecedented surge in demand, particularly for properties priced between ₹10 crore (A$1.83 million) and ₹80 crore (A$14.68 million). This segment has become the preferred investment choice for high-net-worth individuals (HNIs) and ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNIs), reflecting a significant shift in the preferences of the wealthy elite. According to a report by Hindustan Times, the focus on spacious, amenity-rich homes has intensified, catering to the lifestyle aspirations of India’s affluent class.

Changing Preferences in Luxury Living

Cities like Mumbai, Gurgaon, and Delhi have seen demand for luxury properties far outstrip supply. Buyers are increasingly prioritizing exclusive residences over traditional standalone bungalows, seeking homes that not only provide comfort but also serve as social hubs. Notable features such as dedicated parking, modern clubhouses, and elite communities have contributed to the allure of these properties. Experts emphasize that these luxury homes are not just places to live; they are venues for networking and socializing with high-profile peers, enhancing their appeal among the wealthy.

Record Transactions in Key Markets

Mumbai has emerged as the leader in the luxury housing market, recording 21 deals collectively valued at ₹2,200 crore (A$403.67 million), which accounted for a staggering 84% of ultra-luxury property sales in 2024. Other cities also made headlines with remarkable transactions. Bengaluru witnessed a record land purchase in Indiranagar for ₹67.5 crore (A$12.38 million), marking it as the city’s most expensive land deal. Meanwhile, Hyderabad recorded transactions worth ₹80 crore (A$14.68 million) in the upscale Jubilee Hills area. In Noida, a villa was sold for ₹26 crore (A$4.77 million), with a Lamborghini offered as an enticing incentive.

Factors Driving the Luxury Real Estate Boom

Several key factors have propelled the growth of the luxury real estate market in India:

  1. Wealth Accumulation: The 2024 Hurun Rich List revealed that there are now 1,539 Indians with a net worth of ₹1,000 crore (A$183 million) or more, showcasing the increasing purchasing power of UHNIs.

  2. Capital Appreciation: Luxury real estate has proven to be a reliable investment, with property values in key markets rising by over 15% annually.

  3. Lifestyle and Status: High-end properties equipped with modern amenities offer exclusivity and an elevated social standing, making them highly desirable among the elite.

  4. Inflation Hedge: UHNIs are increasingly viewing luxury real estate as a stable asset during economic fluctuations, further driving demand.

Emerging Secondary Markets and Global Investments

In addition to primary markets, secondary destinations like Goa and Alibag have seen a booming demand for marquee villa properties. Indian billionaires are also expanding their portfolios internationally, acquiring luxury homes in global hotspots such as Dubai, New York, London, and Switzerland. A notable example is Pankaj Oswal, an Australian-Swiss businessman, who recently purchased a property in Switzerland for ₹1,649 crore (A$302.5 million).

Developer Response to Growing Demand

Reports from CBRE and Anarock indicate a remarkable 37.8% year-on-year increase in luxury housing sales during 2024, reflecting a robust appetite among India’s elite for high-end properties. As economic confidence grows, with 79% of HNIs and UHNIs expressing optimism about India’s financial prospects, the demand for luxury homes is expected to continue its upward trajectory.

Conclusion

The luxury real estate market in India is undergoing a transformative phase, driven by a confluence of wealth accumulation, lifestyle aspirations, and a desire for exclusivity. As high-net-worth individuals and ultra-high-net-worth individuals seek to invest in spacious, amenity-rich homes, the market is poised for sustained growth. With record transactions and a strong demand for luxury properties, 2024 has solidified India’s position as a burgeoning hub for luxury real estate investment.
