Why are housing prices in Ahmedabad rising? Anarock Report says THIS

Ahmedabad's real estate market has seen remarkable growth in recent years, fueled by government policies and post-pandemic recovery measures. According to the ‘Ahmedabad Residential Overview’ report by ANAROCK Group and CREDAI Ahmedabad, the city's industrial and infrastructure expansion has spurred job creation and attracted talent, driving real estate demand. The report, revealed at the Ahmedabad Residential Real Estate Summit, highlights that housing prices have surged by 49% from 2018 to mid-2024, with a notable 16% rise in the past year alone.

According to the CREDAI-ANAROCK Report, Ahmedabad's real estate market has experienced substantial growth owing to several government policy initiatives and measures that have supported the sector's expansion and facilitated recovery in the post-pandemic period.

Ahmedabad is recognised as one of the most affordable residential markets among the top seven cities in India. However, there has been a notable shift in supply dynamics. The share of affordable housing in the overall supply decreased from 54% in 2018 to 28% in the first half 2024. Meanwhile, the proportion of mid-end projects in the total supply has exceeded that of affordable housing for the first time since 2018.
