House Price Index
Real estate in India has traditionally been considered a safer investment. Despite cyclical changes and recessions, home values have generally risen over time. Low mortgage rates have an indirect effect on home prices, as buyers are willing to take on more debt when credit is cheap.
The data presented herein is based on Indexes published by RBI and BIS:
- Reserve Bank of India (RBI) releases a quarterly house price index based on transaction level data received from housing registration authorities in ten major cities (viz., Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Jaipur, Kanpur, Kochi, Kolkata, Lucknow and Mumbai). The data for Chennai includes commercial properties.
- Bank of International Settlements (BIS), established in 1930 with its head-office in Switzerland, is owned by 62 central banks representing countries from around the world that together account for about 95% of world GDP. It releases a quarterly residential price index covering 58 countries.
