India's Housing Market Shifts to Value-Driven Growth
In 2025, India's housing market changed in a big way.
Instead of selling lots of homes, it started focusing on selling fewer but more expensive homes.
This means that people are buying bigger and better homes, even if they're not buying as many.
In cities like Hyderabad, more people are buying homes that cost over Rs1 crore.
This is because the market is becoming more mature and people want better quality homes with more space and amenities.
The total value of homes sold went up, even though the number of homes sold went down.
This shows that the market is shifting towards luxury and premium housing.
India's residential real estate market shifted to value-driven growth in 2025, with a focus on premium and luxury housing.
Housing sales across the top seven cities declined 14% year-on-year, but the total transaction value rose 6% to Rs6 lakh crore.
Residential prices surged 54% from 2019 to 2024, with price growth moderating to 8% in 2025.
Hyderabad saw a 14% year-on-year increase in home registrations in December 2025, with a 23% increase in transaction value.
Premium housing segment in Hyderabad saw a 37% year-on-year increase in registrations, accounting for 18% of total registrations.
