Housing Market Slows Down: Sales Expected to Drop 2% in Top 9 Cities
Real Estate:The Indian housing market is experiencing a slowdown, with sales expected to decline by 2% to approximately 120,000 units in the current quarter across nine major cities. According to PropEquity, a real estate data analytics firm, this downturn is mainly attributed to lower demand in Hyderabad and Pune. The firm released housing sales data for April-June, 10 days before the end of the quarter, which shows a decline in sales compared to the same period last year.

In Delhi NCR, residential property sales are likely to rise to 10,198 units, a slight increase from 9,635 units in the year-ago period. Bengaluru is also expected to see a rise in housing sales, with an estimated 15,127 units, up from 15,088 units. However, Chennai is expected to witness a decline in sales to 4,841 units, down from 4,950 units.

Sales in Hyderabad are estimated to decline by 20% to 15,016 units, down from 18,757 units. Kolkata, on the other hand, is expected to see a rise in sales to 5,130 units, up from 4,025 units. Mumbai's housing sales are expected to fall marginally to 13,032 units, down from 13,219 units.

Navi Mumbai is likely to witness a 36% growth in sales to 9,035 units, up from 6,640 units. However, Pune's housing sales are expected to fall by 15% to 22,482 units, down from 26,586 units. Thane is expected to see a 9% rise in sales to 25,041 units, up from 22,956 units.

PropEquity Managing Director and CEO Samir Jasuja stated that the January-March period was an extraordinary quarter with the highest absorption/sales ever witnessed in India. The April-June quarter is usually the slowest quarter compared to other quarters with respect to supply and absorption/sales.
