One of the pertinent trends to note is that majority of the sales were recorded in residential apartment units priced between Rs 1-1.5 crore," said Sandip Patnaik, Managing Director, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh, JLL.

"The increase in input costs and the strong demand have caused an appreciation in residential prices with capital values showing a 3-7 per cent Y-o-Y increase in all cities except Hyderabad which showed resilience by clocking double digit price growth over the same period," said Dr Samantak Das, Chief Economist, and Head Research & REIS, India, JLL.
