Top Realtors See Presales Growth in Q2
In the second quarter of the financial year 2026, big real estate companies in India saw a lot of people buying homes before they were built.
This is called presales.
Companies like DLF, Lodha Developers, and Godrej Properties had a lot of success because they launched new projects and people really wanted to buy these homes.
Even though the overall market was a bit slower, these big companies did well because they have strong brands and sell nice, expensive homes.
Some companies, like Oberoi Realty, didn't do as well because they didn't launch any new projects.
Experts think that the rest of the year will be good, but not as amazing as the last two years.
They also think that the total value of sales will go up, even if the number of homes sold stays about the same.
Top real estate developers reported healthy presales growth in Q2 of FY26, driven by new project launches and sustained demand for premium housing.
DLF saw a fivefold year-on-year increase in presales to Rs 4,332 crore, while Godrej Properties reported a 64% increase to Rs 8,505 crore.
Lodha Developers and Prestige Estates Projects also saw significant presales growth, with increases of 7% and 50% respectively.
Oberoi Realty experienced a 10% decline in presales due to the absence of new launches.
Experts remain cautiously optimistic for the remainder of FY26, expecting presales growth of 10-15% and sustained demand for premium homes.
