Despite higher interest rates, folks are after bigger properties. Cities like Hyderabad are on fire, especially for 2.5 to 3-bedroom units or larger homes above Rs. 1 crore. Cities like Hyderabad, Bangalore & Chennai are making headlines thanks to better connections and opportunities.

Despite some hurdles, the demand for homes in top cities soared in 2023 and is likely to keep rising in 2024. Real estate will keep shaping India's cities and economy, opening up more opportunities for everyone.
