KATHMANDU: Real estate transactions and revenue have experienced a significant upswing, surpassing last year’s figures.
The surge in real estate business can be attributed to increased lending by banks and government initiatives easing property purchases, resulting in a positive impact.
In mid-November to mid-December alone, a staggering Rs 3 billion rupees in revenue were generated from real estate transactions, marking a notable increase from the Rs 2 billion 64 crores recorded in the same period last year.

Comparing the number of registration approvals, the previous month witnessed an impressive 41 thousand 851 approvals, a substantial rise from the 29 thousand 184 approvals in the same month last year.
The surge in the registration approvals correlates with a remarkable increase in total turnover, reaching 1 lakh 27, compared to the previous year’s 89 thousand.
Last mid-November to mid-December, a mere 22 apartments received registration approvals, highlighting the substantial growth and momentum gained in the real estate sector since then.
