In 2025, India's residential real estate saw a 14% dip in housing sales volume across the top 7 cities, with approximately 395,625 units sold, down from 459,645 in 2024. Despite this, the overall sales value increased by 6% to over Rs 6 lakh crore, driven by higher ticket sizes. New launches saw a slight 2% rise. Factors like geopolitical tensions and IT sector layoffs contributed to the decline, while average price growth moderated to single digits.
