While the affordable housing segment remains strong, the luxury and ultra-luxury segments are expected to gain further momentum in 2025, pushing average housing prices even higher.
India’s top eight cities—Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, Kolkata, MMR, and Pune—saw a 10% year-on-year increase in housing prices in Q4 2024.
This trend is attributed to various factors, including strong IT sector growth, infrastructure upgrades, and rising investor confidence.
Delhi NCR recorded the highest YoY price growth among India's top cities, with a 31% surge in housing prices.
Luxury and ultra-luxury demand has been the primary driver, particularly in areas like Dwarka Expressway, which saw a 58% YoY increase, and Greater Noida, with a 52% YoY rise.
The upcoming Jewar International Airport is expected to further fuel price hikes in the region.
Bengaluru, known for its robust IT sector, followed closely with a 23% rise in housing prices in Q4 2024, making it the second-fastest-growing market in India.
Key areas like Periphery & Outer West Bengaluru saw up to 15% YoY appreciation, driven by a high demand for ready-to-move-in homes and significant infrastructure improvements.
Ahmedabad witnessed a steady 15% year-on-year rise in housing prices, bolstered by rising investor confidence and ongoing infrastructure development.
This consistent price appreciation makes Ahmedabad an attractive market for both buyers and investors.
Pune’s housing market also saw a notable increase, with prices climbing 9% year-on-year.
However, the city experienced a 14% drop in unsold inventory, the highest decline among major cities.
Popular micro-markets like Baner and Nagar Road saw strong demand, fueled by various infrastructure projects.
Chennai recorded a 6% year-on-year price increase, alongside a 7-10% decline in unsold inventory.
The city’s IT corridor and suburban areas remain highly attractive to homebuyers seeking affordable and mid-segment properties.
The Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) continues to be India's most dynamic real estate market, with a 3% YoY price rise in Q4 2024.
Despite accounting for 40% of India’s unsold inventory, MMR saw inventory levels drop for the first time in three years, reflecting renewed buyer confidence.
Demand for luxury housing is the primary factor driving this growth.
Hyderabad’s real estate market remained stable, with a 2% YoY price increase and a 13% drop in unsold inventory.
Strong demand in mid-segment housing and infrastructure-driven growth continue to position Hyderabad as a key investment hub.
Kolkata’s housing market saw a 1% annual price increase and a 7-10% YoY reduction in unsold inventory.
Healthy demand in key locations like New Town and Rajarhat, supported by rising commercial development and infrastructure expansion, is fostering growth in the residential market.
