Mumbai [India], March 27 (ANI): Skyrocketing residential housing prices along with geopolitical headwinds have slowed the Indian housing market’s bull-run in Q1 2025.
Latest data from ANAROCK shows that the first quarter sales of 2025 drop by 28 per cent across the top 7 cities as compared with Q12024.
Approx. 93,280 units were sold in Q1 2025 in the top 7 cities, in sharp contrast to all-time high sales of over 1.30 lakh units in Q1 2024.
Anuj Puri, Chairman ANAROCK Group, says “India’s overall economic scenario remains positive, with GDP growth rate pegged to be the highest globally and inflation also under control,” says Puri. “However, rising housing prices and global headwinds like ongoing geopolitical tensions and a weak global economy, has taken their toll on India’s residential market activity. These factors cascaded down into the housing market in Q1 2025.”
Amid the decline in sales Mumbai Metropolitan region and Pune accounted for over hald of the units sold.
“MMR and Pune accounted for 51 per cent of the total sales, with MMR seeing a 26 per cent yearly drop and Pune a decline of over 30 per cent. At 49 per cent, Hyderabad saw the highest annual drop in sales, while Bengaluru had the lowest decline at 16 per cent.” said Puri

NCR, Bengaluru and Kolkata saw supply rise by 53 per cent, 27 per cent and 26 per cent, respectively, while the other cities recorded supply declines, with Hyderabad recording the highest 55 per cent yearly decrease.”
