“Post-pandemic, the demand is picking up pace. The revenue figures are a clear indication that people are now valuing real estate assets. It is a matter of few months now for the real estate sector to be back to the pre-COVID sales. One trend that we have witnessed is that the demand for 3 BHK is good, and it continues from the pre-pandemic period. The number of inquiries for spacious units has increased after the lockdown,” says Arfeen Ahmed, Director, Homekey.
In post-pandemic period, the size of 3 BHK units in demand was between 1300 Sqft – 1400 sq ft during August-October 2020, and in the period Nov 2020-Jan2021, the demand for bigger homes increased and went up to 1400 sqft – 1600 sqft for 3 BHK units, which remained in demand. The sale of commercial also increased as people are investing more in this real estate asset due to the return on investment it promises. “Most of the buyers of residential units were end-users, and the commercial was dominated by the investors. In post-pandemic, the same trend is continuing,” adds Ahmed.
