This growth is attributed to higher volumes and an increase in prices.
PropEquity released the data on February 12, 2025, for 15 major tier-II cities.
The total housing sales increased from 1.71 lakh units in 2023 to 1.78 lakh units in 2024.
The sales value also saw a significant jump from ₹1.27 lakh crore in 2023 to ₹1.52 lakh crore in 2024.
Among the 15 cities analyzed, Coimbatore recorded the highest increase in housing sales at 36%, while Visakhapatnam saw the maximum decline at 21%.
Bhubaneswar led in sales value growth with a 47% increase, whereas Nashik experienced a 2% decline in sales value.
Ahmedabad topped the list in terms of sales value, selling homes worth ₹49,421 crore in 2024, a 17% rise from ₹42,063 crore in the preceding year.
The 15 cities included in the analysis were Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara, Gandhi Nagar, Nashik, Jaipur, Nagpur, Bhubaneswar, Mohali, Visakhapatnam, Lucknow, Coimbatore, Goa, Bhopal, and Trivandrum.
Samir Jasuja, founder and CEO of PropEquity, commented on the Budget 2025 announcements, which are expected to boost housing demand in tier 2 cities.
The proposals include the development of airports, promotion of GCCs (Goods and Services Tax Business Parks), tourism, and relaxation on second homes.
Notably, the tax exemption on income up to ₹12 lakhs and the continued focus on infrastructure development, such as metro rail, highways, and expressways, will enhance growth across all segments of the real estate sector.
However, Jasuja also noted that the 20% increase in sales value, despite a 4% rise in sales volume, points to a rapid increase in home prices.
Factors like the rise in the cost of raw materials and speculative investments could impact the real estate market, he added.
These trends indicate a robust real estate sector in tier 2 cities, driven by various economic and infrastructural developments.
