The surge in demand for premium housing reflects a clear shift in buyer preferencesby Mr. Sandeep Ahuja, Global CEO of Atmosphere Living on RBI’s unchanged repo rate.

“The surge in demand for premium housing reflects a clear shift in buyer preferences, with over 60% of home sales now in the ₹1 crore and above category. Against this backdrop, the RBI’s decision to hold the repo rate steady at 5.50% gives confidence to homebuyers making long-term investment decisions in the luxury space. Cities like Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Pune continue to lead this growth, and stable lending conditions will only add to the momentum. The luxury housing segment is showing strong quarterly performance, and we see this trend continuing as buyers look for homes that combine quality, lifestyle, and long-term value.”
