Source: Knight Frank Research  Mainstream residential prices across 56 countries and territories worldwide saw a slight price correction, which stood at an annual rate change of 4.5% on average, compared to Q2 2020 at 4.7%. According to the report, 16% of the surveyed global countries and territories registered a decline in yearly price growth. In Q2 2020, many housing markets remained frozen and saw a sharp rebound in sales and prices in Q3 2020 including New Zealand, UK and the US, while others witnessed only a marginal impact on pricing including China, France and Germany. Shishir Baijal, Chairman & Managing Director, Knight Frank India said, “In order to combat the adverse economic implications of the pandemic, real estate developers started innovating their marketing strategies which included financial benefits, discount, and easy payment options to attract buyers. While the overall real estate sector dynamics continue to remain strained, there has been a meaningful improvement in sales in Q3 2020. Home loan rates at a multi-decade low of sub 7%, fall in residential prices, aggressive marketing of ready inventory and indirect discounts to the buyers - have helped move the demand needle in Q3 2020. Going forward, though the economic fundamentals continue to remain strong, economic recovery is faster than expected. The housing trend remains strong and is expected to continue in the first quarter of 2021.” Key Findings of Global House Price Index Q3 2020:
