On Friday, top real estate body Confederation of Real Estate Developers Association of India (CREDAI) and research firm LeaseFora, released a report on residential real estate trends in 50 major cities of India.
The report highlighted the continued resilience of the housing market, with strong value growth driven by rising consumer expectations, increased housing demand and sustainable infrastructure-led urban development.
According to the data, home sales in the primary markets of India’s 50 largest cities declined by 3 percent to 6,14,235 units in 2025 from 6,33,134 units last year.
In value terms, sales grew to Rs 8,46,648 crore last year, up 16 percent from Rs 7,29,112 crore in 2024.
CREDAI Chairman Shekhar Patel said: “The 2025 numbers mark more than a statistical milestone, they reflect a fundamental shift in the way India lives, invests and aspires. When 78 percent of sales value comes from homes priced above Rs 1 crore and ultra-luxury alone accounts for more than half of the investment value and represents a wealth of wealth. The success of urban infrastructure initiatives.”
He noted that Tier-2, 3 and 4 cities are no longer peripheral and they are emerging as engines of economic opportunities. Pankaj Kapur, Managing Director, Lease Foras, said, “Upper metro cities will continue to dominate India’s housing market in terms of sales, value and supply in 2025. However, Tier-2 cities are increasingly the main growth hub for the real sector.
Better connectivity, expanding employment hubs, and infrastructure-driven initiatives are boosting housing demand for end-users and investors in these markets, he added.
