Four in every 10 potential homebuyers are now planning to buy premium and luxury properties in the top seven markets of the country, during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The latest report, prepared collectively by property consultant Anarock and CII, shows how radically the Covid-19 pandemic has changed buying preference.

As per the report, for the first time, affordable housing demand— traditionally an attractive option for most — is now near equal to that of premium homes. Affluent buyers are considering purchasing their second home, driving the demand for such buying to 41%.
