On a sequential basis, sales dipped marginally by 1 per cent across the nine cities. Delhi-NCR witnessed the steepest fall of 24 per cent, while Thane recorded an 11 per cent decline. Other markets, including Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Mumbai, reported increases.
Launches see mixed trends
New housing supply across the top cities stayed flat. Bengaluru accounted for nearly one-fifth of new launches, though it saw a 10 per cent decline. Chennai, Navi Mumbai, Pune, and Kolkata registered increases, while Hyderabad, Mumbai, Thane, and Delhi-NCR posted declines. Quarter-on-quarter, new supply fell 10 per cent, with Delhi-NCR and Chennai leading the drop.
Festive demand may lift activity
Samir Jasuja, founder and CEO of PropEquity, said: “The reason why we feel that the housing market remains healthy even though the new launches are coming down consecutively is because the sales continue to be higher than the new launches. We anticipate that 2025 will mirror 2024 with approximately 4 lakh unit launches and approximately 4.5 lakh sales, which is marginally lower than the 2024 numbers.”
He added that the festive season is expected to boost demand, supporting stronger launches and absorption levels in the coming quarter.
