Overall Market Trends
Across all major cities surveyed, the average home price increased by 21%, from Rs 7,080 per square foot in Q4 2023 to Rs 8,590 in Q4 2024. This trend indicates a strong demand for housing, fueled by factors such as urbanization, job growth, and increasing disposable incomes.
Anarock data indicates that housing sales in the top 7 cities witnessed a marginal 4% decline in 2024 - approx. 4,59,650 units in 2024 against 4,76,530 units in 2023. However, the overall sales value of housing units saw a 16% yearly jump – from approximately Rs 4.88 lakh crore in 2023 to Rs 5.68 lakh crore in 2024.
MMR witnessed the highest sales of approx. 1,55,335 units in 2024, registering a 1% yearly rise. Pune followed with approx. 81,090 units sold. The two western markets together led residential sales in 2024.
New launches in the top 7 cities saw a 7% annual decline – from approx. 4,45,770 units in 2023 to approx. 4,12,520 units in 2024. MMR and Bengaluru saw the maximum new launches, together accounting for an almost 50% of the new supply in the year.
"While sales also saw a marginal decline when compared to 2023, this was offset by a 16% jump in the overall sales value, thanks to average price appreciation and increasing unit sizes," said Anuj Puri, Chairman of Anarock.
“Compared to 2023, 2024 saw a 21% rise in the average price in the top 7 cities," said Puri. "2025 is unlikely to match this steep growth, though. Average residential prices hikes will stabilize in the coming year, though there will be steady growth amid increased input costs and high demand. 2025 will also see generous new supply infusions by listed developers, who have significant inventory lined up. The elections and slow project approval process had dented the new supply pipeline in 2024.”
Among budget categories, luxury housing demand and new supply increased exponentially in 2024 as homebuyers demand continued the post-pandemic trend of bigger, better homes by branded developers. The new luxury supply addition across the top 7 cities rose by 24% in 2024 against 2023.
MMR, Pune, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and NCR, together accounted for 92% of overall sales in 2024 across the top 7 cities.
