thebalanced.newsIndia's Luxury Property Market Sees Mixed Trends Amid Geopolitical Impact and Regional Growth
India's luxury residential property market shows mixed trends in early 2026. While premium home launches remain high, sales across major cities declined 7% quarter-on-quarter, partly due to geopolitical tensions from the West Asia conflict affecting buyer sentiment, especially among Middle Eastern NRIs. Conversely, Hyderabad's luxury segment saw strong investment, with HNIs and UHNIs purchasing properties worth Rs 8,562 crore in FY 2026, highlighting regional shifts in luxury real estate demand alongside growth in Bengaluru's market.
