The housing market continues to demonstrate remarkable resilience and depth. The 20% growth in sales value expected in FY26 with not more than 4% growth in sales volume reflects sustained end-user demand, higher pricing in key micro-markets, and a growing preference for larger and premium homes.
The next phase of growth will be led more by value appreciation than by sheer transaction numbers. Developers are becoming more selective in launches, focusing on quality and timely delivery rather than chasing volume.
Overall, the Indian housing sector appears to be entering a phase of consolidation and maturity after two years of exceptional post-pandemic growth.
By: Mr. Vijay Harsh Jha, founder and CEO of property brokerage firm VSRealtors:
The housing market is showing signs of stabilisation in housing sales numbers. However, growth in sales value indicates a growing shift towards premium homes which will continue to solidify in the coming years. Cities in NCR are seeing demand for homes priced upwards of Rs 3 crore. The growing infrastructure development, rising aspirations and increased presence of corporates, as is evident from rising leasing activity, points to the region’s strong housing growth prospects.
