Housing Supply Plunges in India's Tier-2 Cities During Q1 2025
Imagine that cities are like stores that sell houses.
In the first three months of 2025, these stores in smaller cities had fewer houses for sale.
Overall, there were 35% fewer houses available.
Some cities had big changes, like Bhubaneshwar, which had 72% fewer houses.
But in Nashik, not much changed.
Fewer affordable houses are being built, while more expensive ones are becoming popular.
This is because developers are trying to make more money.
The government's recent actions may encourage buyers.
Housing supply in India's top 15 tier-2 cities dropped 35% in Q1 2025.
Bhubaneshwar saw the largest decline in supply, decreasing by 72%.
Nashik experienced the smallest decline in supply, at just 2%.
Affordable homes (under Rs 50 lakh) saw a sharp decline in new launches.
Developers are shifting priorities, focusing on premium homes.
