India's Real Estate Sees Growth in Luxury Homes Amid Affordable Housing Challenges

India's real estate market is witnessing a stark contrast between a booming luxury housing sector and a declining affordable housing supply. While demand for affordable homes remains high, developers prioritize premium projects offering expansive amenities and larger living spaces, influenced by changing buyer preferences post-pandemic. This shift has led to a surge in ultra-luxury residences priced around 100 crore, featuring advanced facilities, while smaller, affordable units face reduced demand and funding challenges, raising concerns about housing accessibility for the middle class.
