This data was released by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Thursday, based on transaction-level data collected from the registration authorities in 10 major cities.
The cities monitored for the report are Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Jaipur, Kanpur, Kochi, Kolkata, Lucknow, and Mumbai.
The annual HPI growth varied significantly across the cities, ranging from a high of 8.1 percent in Kolkata to just 0.1 percent in Kanpur.
On a sequential (quarter-over-quarter) basis, the all-India HPI increased by 0.4 percent in Q3 2024-25.
Several cities recorded a sequential rise in house prices during the latest quarter.
These cities include Mumbai, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Kolkata, Chennai, Jaipur, and Kochi.
The varying growth rates highlight the diverse economic conditions and housing market dynamics in different regions of the country.
The RBI's quarterly house price report provides valuable insights into the health of the real estate sector.
It helps policymakers, investors, and homebuyers make informed decisions by understanding the trends in property values.
The report is particularly important for cities like Mumbai and Kolkata, where the property market has a significant impact on the overall economy.
In Mumbai, the increase in house prices reflects the ongoing demand in the real estate sector, driven by factors such as a growing population, economic development, and improved infrastructure.
Similarly, in Kolkata, the high annual growth rate of 8.1 percent suggests that the city is experiencing a robust housing market, possibly due to increased investment and urbanization.
For homebuyers, these trends can be both encouraging and challenging.
Encouraging because a growing market often indicates a stable and prosperous economy, but challenging because higher prices can make it more difficult for first-time buyers to enter the market.
Investors, on the other hand, may find the data useful for identifying opportunities in cities with significant growth.
Cities like Kolkata, with its high growth rate, and others like Bengaluru and Chennai, which also showed positive trends, could be attractive for real estate investments.
Overall, the RBI's report underscores the importance of monitoring house price movements to understand the broader economic landscape and to make informed decisions in the real estate market.
