Price range, ready-to-move or under construction, 1, 2, or 3BHK — Check here for what homebuyers prefer | Mint
Housing demand across India stayed resilient through 2026, says Colliers' Homebuying Sentiment Survey 2026. But buyers are now pickier: 31% worry about affordability, and over 60% prefer ready-to-move or near-completion flats. If you're buying, compare price against value, confirm your home loan comfort, and pick a right-sized unit in a liveable, well-connected area. Builders should expect slower, more careful buyers this festive season.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Colliers' survey drew insights from around 1,800 respondents across more than 30 established and emerging residential markets in India, and found housing sales buoyant through 2026.
- About 51% of respondents plan to buy a house for self-use, while 16% intend to buy a second or vacation home.
- Over 60% of potential homebuyers prefer ready-to-move or near-completion properties, though roughly half of buyers under 30 are comfortable taking construction risk.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:Before you book a home, check that the price matches the value, that your financing feels comfortable, and that the unit size and locality suit you. If you are buying under construction, weigh the lower early price against the delay risk.
