Why did registrations rise?
Home loan rates continued to be favorable for the growth narrative of the real estate sector notwithstanding a 25 basis point increase in the repo rate in February 2023. Knight Frank estimates that since April 2022, the repo rate has grown by 250 basis points, going from 4.0% to 6.50% this month.
The average price of properties recorded in February 2023 increased, which resulted in a large increase in revenue for the state exchequer, according to the report.
According to Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director of Knight Frank India, the average price of properties filed this month was Rs 1.9 crore, which is 65 percent more than the average value of homes registered in February 2022, which was Rs 1.18 crore.
In addition to the increase in value, he continued, “the Metro Cess contribution has also increased to the revenues.” As a result, for the month of February, there was a 39 crore rupees daily high-income collected over a decade. This illustrates the strength of the mid-to-high-end industry, which is buoyant despite adverse conditions.
