Delhi-NCR Sees Residential Sales Growth Amid Office Leasing Decline in Q1 2026

Delhi-NCR's residential real estate market showed mixed trends in Q1 2026, with housing sales rising between 8% and 30% year-on-year, driven by premium demand and infrastructure developments, especially in Gurugram and the Dwarka Expressway corridor. New project launches and price appreciation of 12-15% were noted. Conversely, the office market experienced a 60% decline in net leasing due to reduced new supply, though long-term fundamentals remain positive with expected leasing growth ahead.
