If market trends and reports are anything to go by, luxury real estate is preparing for a prosperous 2026. According to ANAROCK data, prices for luxury homes in the top seven cities have gone up by about
40 per cent since 2022. This shows that there is a strong demand for high-end homes, which is also affecting holiday and second homes. India's affluent are no longer content with urban penthouses. “HNIs today are more open to allocating a larger portion of their capital to luxury homes because these assets offer both lifestyle benefits and enduring value over time,” shares Dhimaan Shah, Executive Director and Co-CEO, Isprava Group. They are seeking homes in destinations where they can pause and reset, rather than purely short-term speculation or quick ROI. At the same time, professionally managed rental platforms have made ownership far more practical with the potential to earn passive income.
