India's Real Estate Sector Faces Decline
The real estate sector in India is facing a tough time.
Stocks have been falling for seven days in a row.
Experts say that layoffs in the IT sector are a big reason for this.
Many high-income professionals who were planning to buy luxury homes are now choosing to rent instead.
This is especially true in cities like Bangalore and Hyderabad.
Sales of mid-to-premium homes have already dropped by 15% compared to last year, and experts think this trend will continue.
The economic uncertainty is making people more cautious about spending large amounts of money on homes.
Real estate stocks in India have fallen for seven consecutive sessions.
IT layoffs are a major reason for the decline in luxury housing demand in urban centers like Bangalore and Hyderabad.
Mid-to-premium housing sales have dropped by 15% year-on-year.
Professionals are opting to rent instead of upgrading to owned homes due to economic uncertainty.
Experts predict that the decline in housing demand will continue in the near future.
