In his commentary, Dhruv Agarwala, the Group CEO overseeing Housing.com, PropTiger.com, and Makaan.com, emphasized the transformative nature of 2023 in the Indian real estate landscape. Describing it as a landmark year, he highlighted the sector’s exceptional growth and resilience, overcoming challenges posed by elevated interest rates and global uncertainties. Agarwala commended the industry’s robustness, attributing it to the Reserve Bank of India’s decision to pause rate hikes in April. This strategic move, combined with pent-up post-pandemic demand, played a pivotal role in bolstering buyer confidence.

The positive momentum reflects not only the industry’s adaptability but also signals the responsiveness of homebuyers to evolving economic conditions.
