India Home Sales Flatten as Developers Increase New Supply

India Home Sales Flatten as Developers Increase New Supply
Must-read for homebuyers: Planning to buy a new house from a developer? Here's what you should consider · livemint.com

A new report looked at homes sold in major Indian cities during the first half of 2026.

Developers sold slightly fewer homes than in the same period last year.

The total money earned from sales stayed almost the same.

This means the average home price rose a little, but not as quickly as before.

Developers also offered more new homes for sale.

That gives buyers more choices to compare.

However, more homes for sale does not automatically mean lower prices.

Prices can differ greatly between cities, neighborhoods and projects.

Buyers should check the full cost and the developer’s record before choosing a home.
