Housing Sales Fall 6% in Top Eight Indian Cities in April-June Quarter
Housing sales across eight major Indian cities declined 6% to 91,729 units in April-June 2026 compared to the previous year, with six cities including Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, Pune, Kolkata, and Ahmedabad seeing decreases. Chennai and Hyderabad recorded growth of 36% and 15%, respectively. PropTiger attributed the overall decline to cautious buyer sentiment amid global uncertainties such as the West Asia conflict and concerns over AI's impact on jobs. Prices remained stable above Rs 10,000 per square foot, indicating market maturity rather than weakening demand.
