The document analyzed survey results from over 1,200 property buyers in five major Indian cities in late 2014. It found that 60% planned to purchase property that year, with over 70% buying for own use rather than investment. First-time home buyers dominated the market, especially in Delhi, Mumbai, and Hyderabad. Apartments were most popular in Mumbai but individual homes, row houses, and land were preferred in Delhi and Chennai. Most buyers sought properties priced under 50 lakhs. Top concerns were property fraud, paperwork issues, and high prices. Over 30% had been searching over a year. Confidence in the real estate market increased after the new government took over.
