As India’s residential market picks up, the Millennials and Gen Z buyers are expected to comprise about 60 per cent of new homebuyers by 2030, the JLL anticipated in its year-end residential market note.

By definition, Millennials, or Generation Y, are the people born between the early 1980s and the mid-1990s to early 2000s, while Generation Z are born between the mid-to-late 1990s and early 2010s.

The global real estate services firm added in the note that the urban homeownership rate is set to increase to 72 per cent by 2025, up from 65 per cent in 2020.

This will be supported by affordable financing options and a younger demographic entering the housing market, the note added.
It further stated that India’s housing market is poised for a remarkable transformation by 2025, driven by rapid urbanisation, technological innovations, and changing consumer preferences, stated Ritesh Mehta, Senior Director and Head (North and West), Residential Services and Developer Initiative, JLL India, in his note. Tier II and III cities are emerging as pivotal growth hubs, with smaller urban centres like Jaipur, Indore, and Kochi driving more than 40 per cent of new housing developments by 2025.
The housing sector is expected to contribute 13 per cent to the national GDP by 2025, reflecting its resilience and potential, as per the JLL.

The demand for sustainable development, smart homes, and tech-integrated living spaces, along with affordable housing initiatives, has gained momentum in the market, as per the report.
