India's housing market experienced a 14% decline in sales volume in 2025, selling approximately 395,625 units across seven major cities, a continuation of a downward trend from 2024. Despite this drop in units, the total sales value increased by 6% to over Rs 6 lakh crore, driven by price appreciation and a shift towards luxury homes. Factors like high prices, IT sector layoffs, and geopolitical uncertainties contributed to the volume decrease, while developers anticipate a revival in 2026 with potential lower mortgage rates and economic growth.
