National Capital Region.
Builders and brokers in cities like Dehradun, Kasauli, Rishikesh, Nainital and Shimla said many from NCR's middle-class, who cannot afford a luxury second home, have approached them in the past few days looking for properties that fit into their budgets.
«The rising demand for second homes in serene locations like Kasauli and Rishikesh is a direct result of increasing pollution levels in the NCR. Homebuyers are seeking refuge in these destinations, drawn by their clean air, natural beauty, and peaceful environments,» said Amar Kapoor, founder of Terra Grande by Eldeco Group, which is developing vacation homes at Kasauli and Rishikesh.
«These areas provide an ideal escape for those prioritizing health and wellness, especially post-pandemic,» Kapoor said.
Cities like Dehradun are also witnessing increased interest from buyers. «The demand is coming from all segments. Earlier people aged 60 and above were more keen, but now even 40-year-olds are planning to move permanently. A majority of our buyers are from the NCR,» said Manit Sethi, managing director of Excentia Infra, which is executing a project in Dehradun.
