 "Housing sales in MMR, Pune dip 30% to 42,000 units in June: PropTiger")
Housing sales in Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) and Pune together fell 30 per cent to 41,901 units during April-June period of this year as surge in prices dampened consumer demand, according to PropTiger.
The combined housing sales in MMR and Pune, the two important property markets in Maharashtra, stood at 60,191 units in the year-ago period.
On Monday, housing brokerage firm PropTiger released the data, which showed that sales in India's eight primary residential markets fell 14 per cent to 97,674 units during April-June this year, from 113,768 units in the corresponding period of the preceding year.
"The short-term dip in home sales and new launches is more of a recalibration than a sign of waning demand. Affordability pressures, particularly in the budget and mid-income segments, have led to some cautious buyer sentiment," Sridhar Srinivasan, Head of Sales, PropTiger.com said.
However, Srinivasan noted that the underlying demand remains intact.
As per the data, the housing sales in MMR declined 32 per cent to 25,939 units, from 38,266 units.
Pune saw a 27 per cent fall in sales to 15,962 units, from 21,925 units.
