“In 2025, registered residential property transactions in India’s nine major residential markets fell by 5 percent year-on-year, while total sales values increased by more than 11 percent in the same period,” the consultant said in a statement.In 2024, the number of registrations stood at 5.77 lakh units worth Rs 4.03 lakh crore.
“Amid a sharp rise in the number of wealthy Indians with higher disposable incomes, premium and luxury homes dominated the value contribution in 2025, especially in markets such as the MMR (Mumbai Metropolitan Region),” said Tanuj Shori, Founder and CEO of Square Yards.
He noted that sustained price growth over the past three to five years has tested affordability barriers in several premium micro markets.
“While demand remains structurally resilient, growth in the luxury segment is expected to moderate in 2026, signaling the beginning of a stabilization phase rather than a slowdown,” Shori said. On the outlook for next year, Square Yards said the housing market is well positioned for sustained progress through 2026, supported by disciplined supply pipelines, a maturing buyer base and a gradual rebalancing of demand for the mid-market.
Commenting on the report, Rajat Khandelwal, Group CEO, Tribeca Developers, said homebuyers are clearly showing a strong preference for newly launched projects.
Santosh Agarwal, CFO and Executive Director of Alpha Corp Development Ltd, said this growth is driven by continued demand for premium and larger properties, higher average ticket sizes and a clear shift towards high-end, branded developments.
“End-users and investors alike are prioritizing well-located projects, superior amenities and long-term value over volume-driven purchasing,” Agarwal said.
