With more supply hitting the markets in top 7 cities, over-heated housing rents are stabilizing. Latest ANAROCK data shows that average residential rental prices across key markets in these cities saw a 2-4 percent quarterly rise in Q2 2024 to date over the preceding quarter. Q1 2024 saw rents in these markets rise by between 4-9 percent quarterly against Q4 2023.
According to Santhosh Kumar, Vice Chairman, Anarock Group , the second quarter of most years typically sees rents increase more than in other quarters due to the commencement of the new academic year and the employment of new staff. This year, declining rental value growth coincides with substantial new housing supply entering these markets.
The top 7 cities are set to deliver approximately 5.31 lakh new units in 2024 while in 2023, these cities saw nearly 4.35 lakh units hit their markets. This denotes a 22 percent annual supply increase this year if delivery schedules remain on track.
