R Rajasekhar Reddy, Founder and Managing Director of Trendsquares, says the period usually sees a spike in inquiries, site visits, and conversions, reflecting strong underlying demand momentum.
However, experts caution that sentiment-driven purchases should not replace careful evaluation, particularly in a market where risks may emerge much later.
Title clarity and due diligence
A primary consideration for buyers remains verification of land titles and ownership records.
Samujjwal Ghosh, CEO of The House of Abhinandan Lodha, said risks in land transactions often emerge later rather than at the time of purchase, largely due to gaps in initial verification.
“Concerns around title and documentation are typically not due to their absence, but due to gaps in verification at the outset,” he said, adding that clear ownership and thorough due diligence are essential to avoid future complications.
Buyers are advised to check for encumbrances, ensure approvals are in place, and review documentation beyond surface-level compliance.
Infrastructure-led valuation
Infrastructure continues to influence property values, but experts indicate that reliance on announced projects alone may not be sufficient. Instead, emphasis is placed on existing or under-construction connectivity and economic activity.
Ghosh noted that land value tends to follow infrastructure that is already operational or nearing completion, rather than projects that are only proposed.
Investment horizon and exit visibility
Real estate, particularly land, is typically considered a long-term asset, with value appreciation unfolding over an extended period. In this context, liquidity and resale potential become relevant considerations.
Availability of transparent pricing benchmarks and structured transaction ecosystems can support decision-making at both entry and exit stages.
Market observations across regions
Inputs from developers suggest that end-user demand and lifestyle considerations continue to influence buying patterns in several markets.
Somesh Mittal, Co-founder of One Prastha, said integrated townships and plotted developments are seeing traction in NCR and surrounding regions. He highlighted locations such as Sonipat, citing factors like connectivity, affordability and availability of open spaces with planned amenities.
In southern markets such as Bengaluru, residential demand has been supported by infrastructure improvements and affordability conditions. Sujith Sebastian, Chief Sales Officer at Mana Projects, said demand has grown 28% year-on-year, with metro expansion and road connectivity shaping buyer interest in key corridors.
Beyond metros, demand is strengthening in Tier 2 markets.
According to Reddy, metro markets such as Mumbai, Pune, Delhi NCR, and Bengaluru continue to see strong interest across residential and commercial segments. At the same time, Tier 2 cities including Indore, Coimbatore, Surat, Ahmedabad, and Lucknow are witnessing growing traction due to affordability, infrastructure improvements, and job creation.
Manoj Dhanotiya, Founder and CEO of Micro Mitti, says buyer interest in cities such as Indore, Ahmedabad, and Lucknow remains robust, supported by improving infrastructure, affordability, and job creation.
He notes that plotted developments, land investments, and low-density premium housing are seeing heightened traction in these regions. Prices have registered steady appreciation over the past year, particularly in emerging corridors, while transaction volumes remain stable.
Festival-led demand remains a recurring theme
Separately, organised retail players highlight that Akshaya Tritiya continues to influence consumer purchases across categories.
Jayen Naik, President – Operations at Nexus Select Malls, said the occasion remains an important consumption period, particularly for jewellery, with purchases often planned in advance despite elevated prices.
While the festival provides a favourable backdrop for purchases, experts underline that property investment decisions should be guided by due diligence, infrastructure assessment and long-term financial considerations rather than timing alone.
