“HNIs and ultra-HNIs are purchasing these trophy residences for personal use, investment, or both,” said Puri. “This is a noteworthy market dynamic, given that home prices are surging nationwide due to increased input costs and robust buyer demand. Although there was only a one-unit increase in the number of transactions closed in 2024 compared to 2023, there was a 17% annual increase in value during the same period. Some of the most prominent Grade A developers have been upping ultra-luxury inventory in response to the growing demand.”
Apartments clearly remained the preferred property type for ultra-HNIs - of the 59 deals, 53 were for apartments and the remaining six bungalows.
