New Delhi, April 20, 2023 – Magicbricks , India’s premier online real estate platform, released its latest Rental Housing Index (January to March 2023) report, highlighting a 4.1% QoQ and 15.3% YoY surge in average residential rents across the country. The report further observed that after a decline over the past two quarters, the rental demand increased 7.3% QoQ and 3.3% YoY, while the supply reduced by 5.7% QoQ and 17.8% YoY.
IT hubs Chennai (14.3%), Bengaluru (12.2%), and Hyderabad (10.8%) recorded the highest growth in rental demand. Furthermore, out of the 13 cities tracked, all except Noida observed a decline in supply of rental housing.
“The Indian rental housing market is demonstrating a buoyant revival and the macroeconomic trends affirm that this is expected to persist through the coming quarters,” said Sudhir Pai, CEO, Magicbricks . “It is noteworthy that major southern cities have exhibited resilience as they continue to attract talent from across the country. Gurugram and Pune are other notable cities with promising rent-trends as they continue to attract a migratory talent pool. Overall, these market dynamics suggest a swift progression towards “business as usual scenario” for the real estate industry and sustained growth trajectory of the Indian rental housing market.”
