On Friday, 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, with strong value growth driven by rising buyer aspirations, increasing premiumisation of housing demand and sustained infrastructure-led urban development.
As per the data, the housing sales across primary markets of Indian 50 major cities fell 3 per cent to 6,14,235 units in 2025 from 6,33,134 units in the preceding year.
In value terms, sales grew to Rs 8,46,648 crore last year, an increase of 16 per cent from 7,29,112 crore during 2024 calendar year.
Shekhar Patel, President of CREDAI, said: “The 2025 numbers mark more than a statistical milestone, they reflect a fundamental shift in how India lives, invests and aspires. When 78 per cent 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 they 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 2025 in sales, value and supply. However, Tier-2 cities are increasingly emerging as important growth centres in the residential real estate sector.
Better connectivity, expanding employment hubs, and infrastructure-driven initiatives are boosting housing demand in these markets for both end-users and investors, he added.
