The decline in unsold inventory is a positive indicator for the sector, as it suggests that demand for new homes is rising and developers are managing to sell off their existing stock more effectively. This trend is particularly noteworthy given the challenges faced by the real estate market over the past few years, including the economic slowdown, changes in regulations, and the impact of the pandemic.
Pune, Mumbai, and NCR are among the cities that have seen the most significant reductions in unsold inventory. Pune, in particular, has witnessed a 10% decline, with the unsold stock now standing at 80,000 units. Mumbai and NCR have also reported decreases of 6% and 5%, respectively. These improvements can be attributed to a combination of factors, including government initiatives to boost the housing sector, lower interest rates, and increased buyer confidence.
Anarock’s CEO, Anuj Puri, commented on the findings, stating, “The reduction in unsold inventory is a clear sign of the market’s resilience and ability to adapt to changing conditions. The government’s focus on affordable housing, along with the introduction of policies to support the real estate sector, has played a crucial role in this recovery.”
The report also highlights the importance of new project launches in maintaining the momentum. Despite the decline in unsold stock, new launches have been steady, ensuring a balanced supply-demand dynamic. In Q4 FY25, developers launched approximately 32,000 new units, which is a 5% increase from the previous quarter.
However, challenges remain, particularly in terms of affordability and the need for more supportive policies. Anarock suggests that further measures to reduce barriers to home ownership, such as more flexible loan options and tax benefits, could help sustain the positive trajectory of the housing market.
The real estate sector is a critical component of India’s economy, contributing significantly to GDP and employment. A healthy housing market not only benefits developers and buyers but also supports related industries such as construction, furniture, and home appliances.
In conclusion, the reduction in unsold housing stock is a welcome development, reflecting the market’s ability to recover and adapt. As the housing sector continues to grow, it is essential for stakeholders to remain vigilant and proactive in addressing challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
