Residential Market Structure in Kolkata

Kolkata's residential market is characterized by distinct geographic micro-markets, varying from heritage South/Central neighborhoods to planned eastern expansion zones in Salt Lake, Rajarhat, and New Town.

Bedroom Configuration Distribution

Data recorded across published projects in Great Homes reveals that 2 BHK and 3 BHK units constitute over 80% of total residential supply in Kolkata's growth corridors. 2 BHK configurations cater primarily to first-time homebuyers and working professionals in Sector V / New Town IT hubs, whereas 3 BHK units accommodate joint families and long-term end users.

Pricing Mechanics & Area Bases

Price comparisons must always account for the underlying measurement basis:- **Carpet Area**: The legally mandated pricing metric under RERA. - **Location Premium**: Proximity to metro stations (e.g., Green Line, Orange Line, Yellow Line) commands a consistent 10%–15% valuation premium over interior pockets.
