New Delhi, June 14: Housing prices in Delhi-NCR rose the maximum, by 16 per cent, in the January-March period among top eight cities on better demand and higher construction cost, according to a report by CREDAI, Colliers and Liases Foras.
Realtors’ apex body CREDAI, real estate consultant Colliers and data analytic firm Liases Foras on Wednesday released their joint ‘Housing Price-Tracker Report Q1 2023’.

The report mentioned that housing prices in Delhi-NCR have seen a steady rise since the last 11 quarters.
“Notably, Dwarka Expressway witnessed a significant price rise at 59 per cent YoY, largely led by opening of Central Peripheral Road and the loop connecting Dwarka expressway with NH-8,” it said.

Pankaj Kapoor, Managing Director, Liases Foras expects moderate price rise going forward.
CREDAI President Boman Irani said, “despite the rise in housing prices, which is primarily owing to rising raw material costs and this consistent demand, we expect the strong momentum to continue as consumers have shown a clear appetite to buy new, bigger houses with better amenities – especially in the post pandemic era.”
Peush Jain, Managing Director (Occupier Services), Colliers India said the housing sector has remained resilient, offsetting the challenges posed by higher interest rates amidst global headwinds.
Increased preference for home ownership, relative affordability and quality supply are helping the growth in the housing sector, he added. (PTI)
