India\u2019s residential real estate market in the first half of 2025 presented a compelling paradox \u2014 record sales value alongside declining volume. It clearly highlights a shift toward premium and luxury homes while affordable markets struggle to find traction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the CREDAI-CRE India Housing Report for H1 CY\u201925<\/a>, Tier-1 Indian cities collectively clocked housing sales worth a record \u20b93.6 lakh crore in the first half of 2025 \u2014 a 9% increase in value compared with H1 2024 \u2014 even though the number of units sold fell around 4%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Higher ticket sizes drove this value growth \u2014 the average unit price rose 14% YoY to \u20b91.42 Cr, as buyers gravitated toward larger, better-located properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This dynamic underscores an important trend: value is outpacing volume \u2014 India\u2019s real estate story is increasingly about premium positioning rather than sheer unit sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The NCR remained the top market by sales value in H1 2025 with a 26% share, fueled heavily by luxury homes priced above \u20b93 crore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MMR maintained a strong position with a 23% revenue share, signaling continued demand in India\u2019s traditional marquee market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In unit terms, Southern India \u2014 especially Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad \u2014 led the pack, surpassing the NCR in the number of units sold, though not always in value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This divergence \u2014 South leading in volume, NCR and Mumbai driving value \u2014 points to diversified demand dynamics across regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the most notable shifts seen in multiple markets is the surge of high-end housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In Hyderabad, flats priced above \u20b93 crore accounted for more than a third of total sales value, making it the second costliest housing market in India after NCR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By contrast, affordable housing, under \u20b970 lakh, accounted for just ~3% of value, showing how scarcity in the lower end has reshaped demand patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Across Tier-1 cities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This confirms a buyer preference shift toward quality and lifestyle over basic affordability, a key narrative in 2025\u2019s housing landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Elevate your decisions in real estate as a developer or broker with CRE Matrix\u2018s data-driven insights.
