Mumbai, 21 September 2022: Residential rental markets across the top 7 cities have made a strong comeback after offices and schools reopened in 2022. Analysis of the average monthly rental trends across the leading luxury localities in the top 7 cities reveals that most markets have saw double-digit growth in the last two years, with only a few exceptions. 

As per latest ANAROCK data, the average monthly rentals in the prominent luxury micro-markets across the top 7 cities increased anywhere between 8-18% in the last two years. Mumbai’s Worli saw the highest rental growth of 18% in the period – from INR 2 lakh per month in 2020 to INR 2.35 lakh in 2022 for luxury homes of minimum 2,000 sq. ft. area.

This was followed by Bengaluru’s Rajaji Nagar, which witnessed a 16% jump in the same period – from INR 56,000 in 2020 to INR 65,000 in 2022.

Anuj Puri, Chairman – ANAROCK Group, says, “Residential rental demand skyrocketed across the top cities in 2022 with schools reopening classrooms and most companies calling employees back to offices. Pent-up rental demand hitting the market has caused a demand-supply mismatch in many areas, resulting in monthly rental hikes. Also, post-Covid tenant preference has tilted towards large-size homes.”

“Most prominent luxury housing markets witnessed double-digit growth in rentals in the last two years,” says Puri. “Pre-Covid, average 2-year luxury rental increases at a given time were largely single-digit, between 5-7%.”
