Nearly 60%  of the Mumbai city households earn less than Rs 80,000 annually, and the income of 19 per cent of those at the bottom of the pyramid is so low that they cannot afford to buy a house. This was revealed by a CII and Jones Lang Lasalle report on the real estate sector.

Land prices  increasing and other factors, such as input costs, further jacking up real estate prices, the situation seems to only get worse for an average homebuyer.
 Mr. Anuj Puri, chairman and country head, Jones Lang Lasalle said “Unaffordable land prices have resulted in leapfrogging of residential development to the suburbs of suburbs or exurbs.""

The CII and Jones Lang Lasalle also found that 15% of the households fall in the higher middle income group, earning an average annual income of Rs 3,09,950. This segment generated a bulk of the demand in the high volume residential real estate market on the outskirts of the city.
