NEW DELHI: Residential property searches increased by 16.9% quarter-on-quarter and 27.7% year-on-year while property listings rose by 2.9% quarter-on-quarter and 16.2% year-on-year in Q2, 2022, according to PropIndex report by Magicbricks.

Delhi (47.2%), Ahmedabad (21.4%), Kolkata (21.2%), Noida (20.6%), and Bengaluru (18.8%) witnessed the highest quarter-on-quarter growth in residential searches while Delhi (10.8%), Bengaluru (6.7%), Gurugram (6.6%), Chennai (5.1%) and Kolkata (5.1%) exhibited maximum quarter-on-quarter growth in listings in Q2, 2022, according to the report.

"The rise in residential demand across 13 India cities is reflective of economic recovery and income stabilisation. This is also fuelled by families returning to metros as offices and educational institutions reopen. While growing inflation, disruption of the global supply chain and increase in input cost of materials and mortgage rates are pushing up the prices, overall we are seeing buyer’s confidence and expect India’s residential market to continue growing over the next few quarters as well," said Sudhir Pai, CEO of the company.

Prices of ready-to-move properties increased 2.3% quarter-on-quarter and 6.4% year-on-year in the said quarter. Greater Noida, Thane, Delhi, and Ahmedabad witnessed the highest quarter-on-quarter rate rise of 4%, 3.7%, 2.8%, and 2.6% respectively
