The year 2023 has been another inflection point for the real estate sector. Industry experts and stakeholders observe a resilient and dynamic market that has weathered disruptions, showcasing the adaptability across various segments.
Abhishek Kapoor, group CEO, Puravankara believes that the demand by end-users remained continuously there to drive growth in 2023. Coupled with a favourable pause by the RBI in hiking repo rates, the residential real estate market has fuelled the aspirations of those looking to own a home.
Harshvardhan Tibrewala, director, Roha Realty highlights that the Indian realty market's positive sentiment has primarily been driven by the presence of reputable developers who are known for on-time project delivery, commitment to promised amenities, and construction quality.
Venkatesh Gopalakrishnan, director group promoter's office, MD & CEO, Shapoorji Pallonji Real Estate (SPRE) is of the view that in 2023, the realty landscape emerged stronger with luxurious and premium housing segments leading the way. "Discerning buyers sought not just a home but an experience, leading developers to redefine luxury with sustainable designs, cutting-edge technology, and world-class amenities" says Gopalakrishnan.
