Market Research Session 1: Real Estate Demand & Buyer Trends
Theme: Understanding the Modern Buyer
1. Shift in Buyer Demographics
The profile of the average homebuyer in India is changing rapidly. Millennials and young professionals are emerging as a significant buying force, thanks to rising incomes, access to digital tools, and changing lifestyle preferences.
