India’s residential market is showing signs of stability rather than a slowdown. According to Knight Frank India, housing sales across the country’s eight largest property markets rose 1% year-on-year in Q3 2025 (July–September), with 87,603 units sold.
What stands out is not so much the modest volume growth as the quality of demand; premium segments are driving value, even as unit growth is plateauing.
Premium share detail: The report states that more than 52% of sales in the top eight cities in Q3 2025 were for homes priced above ₹1 crore.
The data suggests a phase of “high plateau” rather than rapid growth or sharp decline. While YoY volume growth is +1%, price growth remains double digit in many cities. Analysts believe the market is consolidating, awaiting fresh triggers like rate cuts, mid-segment supply, or policy incentives.
For buyers: If you’re targeting the ₹1–2 crore segment, now is a good time to transact, but focus on the builder’s credibility, actual infrastructure delivery, and total cost of ownership.
For investors: Look towards tech-driven cities with low vacancy and strong rental yields; premium homes may offer better capital growth, but mid-segment affordability remains key.
For developers: With the mid-segment being the “next wave”, focusing on well-priced 2/2.5-BHKs, timely delivery, and good amenities will matter in 2026.
While the 1% rise in unit sales across India’s top eight cities may appear modest, it masks a deeper story: durable demand, premium-led growth, and selective supply discipline. The housing market is not frothy; it is consistent. For markets and players anchored on delivery, quality, and location, the outlook remains positive, albeit without dramatic leaps. Hirize Developers stands as a reflection of this steady momentum — consistently delivering premium projects that align with evolving urban aspirations and reinforcing buyer confidence through trust, transparency, and timely execution.
