Notwithstanding the difficulties posed by rising house loan rates and the possibility of inflation, India's residential market has expanded thanks in large part to the country's steady economic growth, which has made it possible to give end users more financial stability. Additionally, the paper stated that during the start of the epidemic, federal and state governments took action to increase home sales by offering incentives to prospective homeowners. This sparked the market and caused an acceleration of home sales.

According to Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director of Knight Frank India, "the strong domestic economic fundamentals and the escalating aspirational attributes of residential real estate, are driving heightened demand among homebuyers in prominent residential markets within the country" in light of the higher interest cost environment brought on by higher levels of inflation.

Despite rising interest rates, which have been the main tool used by central banks to combat high levels of global inflation, annual house prices continue to grow. The ten-year average of 3.7% prior to the pandemic is being approached by the average yearly price growth of 3.5%. Of the 56 markets under observation, 21 saw price decreases and 35 saw annual price increases.

Turkey has been at the top of the rankings since Q1 2020 and has experienced the fastest growth, rising 18.1% on an annual basis and 89.2% on a quarterly basis. The top five rankings are dominated by countries in southeast Europe, with North Macedonia (11.0%), Greece (14.0%), and Croatia (13.7%) all exhibiting strong annual growth.

With 6.3% annual growth, Japan leads the Asia-Pacific area, followed by India with 5.9% annual growth.
