Below the Quote on Housing sales in Top 15 tier 2 cities: PropEquity by Lalit Parihar, Managing Director, Aaiji Group, a Dholera-based real estate firm

Ahmedabad has witnessed a measured yet healthy housing price growth reflecting the city’s fundamentally strong, end-user-driven real estate market. The proposed inclusion of Ahmedabad in the list of metro cities eligible for a higher 50% House Rent Allowance (HRA) exemption under the draft Income Tax Rules, 2026, is a significant positive and will further enhance rental affordability while supporting housing demand.

The city continues to see steady residential sales and disciplined new launches, indicating a mature and balanced market. With major infrastructure upgrades underway and the upcoming Commonwealth Games acting as a catalyst for urban development, Ahmedabad’s real estate ecosystem is well-positioned for sustainable growth.

Driven by genuine demand, improving connectivity and sustained economic momentum across Gujarat, this steady appreciation reinforces Ahmedabad’s position as one of India’s most affordable, resilient and stable housing markets for both homebuyers and long-term investors.
