Indian Cities See 23 Percent Home Price Surge, Mumbai Tops the List Followed by Pune and NCR

Homebuyers in India’s top cities are grappling with a steep 23% surge in property prices, with the average home now costing ₹1.23 crore during April-September 2024. This increase, driven by a growing appetite for luxury housing, has redefined urban real estate trends. Leading the market, Mumbai Metropolitan Region saw the highest sales volume, closely followed by Pune and the National Capital Region (NCR), as per a report from a Mumbai-based consultancy. Notably, NCR experienced the sharpest price rise, climbing by 56%, while Bengaluru and Hyderabad recorded 44% and 37% hikes, respectively.

Despite a marginal 3% dip in overall unit sales, the total sales value surged by 18%, reflecting unyielding demand for high-value homes. More than 227,400 housing units were sold in seven key cities during the first half of the fiscal year. The luxury housing sector, attracting wealthy Indians abroad, is projected to account for nearly 20% of all home sales by 2025. Developers like DLF Ltd. are ramping up offerings, reporting over ₹64 billion in new sales bookings for Q1 of FY25, with a target of ₹170 billion by March 2025.

From a sustainability perspective, the rapid price escalation underscores the need for balanced urban growth. Rising property values could push affordable housing further out of reach for middle-income groups, highlighting the importance of inclusive policies. Integrating green infrastructure and optimising urban land use can provide sustainable solutions to the burgeoning demand for residential spaces.

Furthermore, equity investments in India’s real estate market are expected to surpass $10 billion this year, signalling robust investor confidence. Cities like NCR, Mumbai, and Bengaluru continue to dominate as investment hubs, with a resurgence in built-up office assets and strategic land acquisitions. This unprecedented growth marks a transformative phase for urban housing, although policymakers must address affordability and environmental resilience to ensure long-term urban sustainability.
