Highlights of Cushman & Wakefield report..!

* The survey in the NCR (National Capital Region ), Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune and Kolkata.

* The housing demand supply scenario and the resulting gap is likely to reduce in the next  5  years.

* The upcoming supply needs to be priced judiciously along with appropriate location, infrastructure, connectivity, relevant features and amenities to ensure absorption.

* NCR is expected to record highest demand of over 7 lakh houses, followed by Mumbai and Bangalore with demands of 6.51 lakh houses and 2.87 lakh houses, respectively.

* Mid-range housing segment is expected to drive the maximum demand of 45%.

* Majority of the developers in the top 7 cities are concentrating on this segment, which would help reduce the supply - demand gap.

Mr. Akshay Kulkarni, Executive Director, C&W India, "Besides, the affordable housing segment is likely to register nearly 3 times more demand than supply and it will see the gap increasing during the next 5 years" said.
