New Delhi, March 13 Housing sales across India's top 50 cities fell by 3% last year to 6.14 lakh units, while increasing by 16% in value to Rs 8.46 lakh crore, according to CREDAI and Liases Foras.
On Friday, the realtors' apex body, the Confederation of Real Estate Developers' Associations of India (CREDAI), and research firm Liases Foras, released a report on residential real estate trends across 50 major cities in India.
The report highlighted the continued resilience of the housing market, driven by strong value growth fueled by rising buyer aspirations, increasing demand for premium housing, and sustained infrastructure-led urban development.
According to the data, housing sales in the primary markets of India's 50 major cities fell by 3% to 6,14,235 units in 2025, compared to 6,33,134 units in the previous year.
In terms of value, sales grew to Rs 8,46,648 crore last year, an increase of 16% from Rs 7,29,112 crore during the 2024 calendar year.
Shekhar Patel, President of CREDAI, said: "The 2025 figures represent more than just a statistical milestone; they reflect a fundamental shift in how India lives, invests, and aspires. When 78% of sales value comes from homes priced above Rs 1 crore, and ultra-luxury alone drives over half the value, it signals rising household wealth, maturing investor confidence, and the success of urban infrastructure initiatives."
He noted that Tier-2, 3, and 4 cities are no longer peripheral and are emerging as engines of economic opportunity.
Pankaj Kapoor, Managing Director of Liases Foras, said: "Top metro cities continue to dominate India's housing market in terms of sales, value, and supply in 2025. However, Tier-2 cities are increasingly emerging as important growth centers in the residential real estate sector."
He added that better connectivity, expanding employment hubs, and infrastructure-driven initiatives are boosting housing demand in these markets for both end-users and investors.
