“Tier II cities have witnessed a significant price appreciation primarily due to increased demand, as absorption has been significantly higher than new launches in the last five fiscal years. The rise in consumer confidence fueled by economic growth, a boost in connectivity, infrastructure development and strong job markets has driven up prices in double digits in the majority of these cities,” said Samir Jasuja, Founder and CEO at PropEquity.
Tier 2 cities offer a lower cost of living, making them attractive for homebuyers seeking value. This affordability fuels demand for residential properties, compared to Tier 1 cities. In addition, enhanced connectivity brings amenities like educational institutions and healthcare facilities closer, making tier 2 cities more attractive for families and young professionals.
