In volume terms, Ahmedabad remained the top market in terms of both sales and launches in Q3 2025.
Samir Jasuja, Founder and CEO, PropEquity said, “There has been a steady decline in new housing launches, especially in the high-volume affordable and mid-income segments. With rising input costs and evolving consumer aspirations pushing up home prices and home sizes, sales momentum in these markets has begun to moderate.”
“That said, Tier 2 cities remain the key engines of India’s growth story. Expanding employment opportunities, improving infrastructure, and stronger connectivity continue to drive sustained demand across residential, commercial, and retail real estate.”
