Imagine lots and lots of people moving to big cities in India, all looking for a place to live. They come for jobs and a better life. When so many people want something, but there isn't enough of it to go around, the price naturally goes up. It's like everyone wanting the last slice of cake! Also, cities don't have endless space to build new homes, and building takes time. Plus, making those homes costs more these days – things like bricks, cement, and even the workers' wages have become pricier. When it costs more to build, the final price of the house also goes up. Sometimes, people also buy houses not just to live in, but hoping to sell them for a lot more money later. This can make homes even more expensive for regular families just trying to find a place to call their own.
