“Prime residential markets have been under immense pressure, particularly since demonetisation. While the move had an adverse impact on the overall residential market, luxury homes’ sales were worst hit. The quintessential wealthy investors, known to take interest in such projects are missing, courtesy, better returns from other investment avenues. Among the top three cities in India, the growth in price in this genre has been slowly tapering. While Mumbai maintained positive growth, albeit at an abysmally low rate, Delhi and Bengaluru witnessed negative growth. We foresee the trend to continue for at least 8-12 months in this end-user driven market,” said Samantak Das, chief economist and national director – research, Knight Frank India.
International luxury home price trends
Guangzhou continued to top the index, with a staggering 36.3 per cent price surge in luxury homes but the overall narrative for China was of a slower growth. While the annual prime price growth in Shanghai slipped from 19.7 per cent last quarter to 14.9 per cent, the rate of price growth decline in Beijing nearly halved from 15 per cent to 7.2 per cent, owing to government-enforced cooling measures.

Among luxury residential properties in Europe, Madrid, Paris and Berlin recorded robust growth. However, other key markets such as Zurich, Vienna, Geneva and London, ended the 12-month period witnessing a sharp price decline.
