Housing Sales in 15 Tier II Cities Rise 4% to Over Rs 37K Crore in Q3 2025

NEW DELHI, Nov 29: Housing sales across 15 major Tier II cities have increased 4 per cent annually to Rs 37,409 crore in the July-September quarter, despite a fall in volumes, according to PropEquity.

Real estate data analytic firm PropEquity data showed that housing sales in India’s top 15 Tier II cities fell 4 per cent year-on-year (YoY) to 39,201 units in the September quarter of this calendar year.

These 15 Tier II cities are Ahmedabad, Surat, Gandhi Nagar, Vadodara, Jaipur, Nashik, Nagpur, Mohali, Bhubaneshwar, Lucknow, Bhopal, Coimbatore, Goa, Trivandrum, and Kochi.

The new supply declined 10 per cent YoY to 28,721 units in the third quarter ended September 2025.

In Ahmedabad, the biggest property market among these 15 cities, the housing sales fell 6 per cent annually to 13,021 units during the July-September quarter. In Surat, the sales fell 8 per cent to 4,936 units.

Samir Jasuja, Founder and CEO of PropEquity, said, “Tier 2 cities remain the key engines of India’s growth story. Expanding employment opportunities, improving infrastructure, and stronger connectivity continue to drive sustained demand across residential, commercial, and retail real estate.”

Lalit Parihar, Managing Director of Aaiji Group, a Dholera-based real estate firm, said the four cities of Gujarat, namely Ahmedabad, Surat, Gandhi Nagar, and Vadodara, continue to dominate in both launches and sales in Tier 2 cities, accounting for over 60 per cent each.

“These cities continue to demonstrate strong housing demand driven by robust economic growth, manufacturing strength, rising white-collar employment of migratory and local population, and rapid infrastructure upgrades. With improved connectivity, expanding industrial hubs, and a growing aspirational middle class, these cities offer a balanced mix of affordability, quality of life, and long-term investment potential,” he added.

Kirthi Chilukuri, Founder & Managing Director of Stonecraft Group, said the decline in new housing launches in Tier II cities during Q3 2025 is more a strategic pause than a slowdown.

“The 4 per cent rise in sales value shows that demand remains strong, with buyers willing to pay more for trusted brands and better amenities. This signals a healthier, more mature market where long-term value matters,” said Chilukuri.

Yashank Wason, Managing Director of Royal Green Realty, said the demand in Tier 2 cities remains strong.

Rajat Khandelwal, Group CEO of Tribeca Developers, noted that homebuyers are clearly showing a strong preference for newly launched projects.
