#1. AI & Hiring: Shift to premium roles Real Estate/Property

Programs for mass hiring haven’t been in vogue for two years now but those for

premium / experienced roles are seeing strong momentum. There have been 120k+ open Kunal Tayal >> Research Analyst

tech job postings at a minimum. Also, sales velocity has been better for homes worth BofAS India

INR 25mn+ vs. INR10-20mn and for buyers in the age range of 40+ vs 30-35. BofA +91kunal.tayal@bofa.com22 6632 8663

view: We think these findings explain why residential sales have held up in a city like BLR Jatin Kalra, CFA >>

with tech-heavy employment, despite rising concerns of AI disruption. The premium segment Research Analyst

could remain strong, driving home sales for developers. BofAS+91 22India6632 8390

#2. Pricing: Upside in new micro-markets

Like-for-like price increases in established micro markets have moderated to 8-10%yoy,

despite good demand. However, newer micro markets (like North and East BLR) or those

with infrastructure upgrades (e.g. parts of Whitefield) have seen a very sharp jump. BofA

view: We expect listed developers to tap a good proportion of sales from newer micro

markets and thus get net price growth higher than the like-to-like increase. BLR: Bengaluru
