"The decline in home registrations in September 2024 can be primarily attributed to the inauspicious days of 'Shraadh', which constituted 12 days of the month in 2024, when traditionally individuals refrain from making significant purchases or engaging in high-value transactions," Knight Frank said in a statement.

In 2023, Shraadh was observed from 29 September to 14 October.
