Housing sales in India’s seven major cities fell 14% in 2025, with 3.96 lakh units sold compared to 4.60 lakh units the previous year, according to ANAROCK Research.
The decline is attributed to rising property prices, IT sector layoffs, geopolitical uncertainty, and weaker buyer sentiment. However, the total value of transactions grew 6% to over ₹6 lakh crore, supported by increased demand for luxury and premium properties.
Chennai stood out as the only city showing higher sales volume. Meanwhile, average property prices rose approximately 8% across major cities, reflecting a shift toward higher-end housing despite lower overall sales.
