31 Jul
Summary
- Housing sales fell 5% in first half of 2025

- Demand shifted to larger, premium homes
- Delhi-NCR's market share in value terms rose to 26%
According to a recent report by CREDAI and CRE Matrix, India's primary housing market experienced a mixed performance in the first half of 2025. While housing sales across eight major cities declined by 5% to 2.53 lakh units, the total sales value increased by 9% to ₹3.59 lakh crore.
This shift reflects a decisive change in homebuyer preferences, with a growing demand for larger, better-located, and more premium homes. The average ticket size rose by 14% to ₹1.42 crore, indicating that quality and location have become more important than quantity for Indian homebuyers.
The report also highlighted the growing prominence of the Delhi-NCR market, with its market share in value terms increasing from 23% to 26% during the review period. Experts attribute this surge to the region's growing lifestyle aspirations, massive infrastructure development, and strong demand for bigger homes, particularly in the luxury segment.
Overall, the data suggests that India's residential real estate story is no longer just about quantity, but rather about quality, confidence, and lifestyle. As the market matures, homebuyers are increasingly seeking out premium properties that cater to their evolving needs and aspirations.
