26 Nov 2025 CW Team

Greater Noida recorded the sharpest rise among airport-linked markets. Demand rose 13.36 per cent year-on-year, supply increased 29 per cent over two years, and average prices climbed 79.3 per cent from ₹5,505 psf in JAS 2023 to ₹9,872 psf in JAS 2025. High-traction micro-markets included Noida Extension, Yamuna Expressway, Sector 1, Sector 12, Techzone 4 and Eta 2. Demand was largely value driven, with 54 per cent of searches for homes under ₹75 lakh, while multistorey apartments accounted for 66 per cent of interest.

In Navi Mumbai, residential pockets such as Panvel, Kharghar, Ulwe, Dronagiri and Uran saw increased traction as the upcoming international airport influenced buyer movement. Overall demand grew 7.2 per cent, and prices rose between 16 per cent and 42 per cent across micro-markets, led by Dronagiri (41.9 per cent) and Panvel (26 per cent). Rental demand increased 14.2 per cent, supported by expanding employment and improved connectivity. Interest in plotted developments rose sharply in Panvel (209 per cent), Uran (205 per cent) and Dronagiri (161 per cent).

Goa continued to attract high-intent buyers, with luxury housing demand rising 39.7 per cent over two years. North Goa micro-markets recorded 76.5 per cent price appreciation, the second-highest among the three regions studied. Demand for plotted developments increased 32.5 per cent, outpacing the 9.5 per cent rise in apartment demand, reaffirming Goa’s position as a lifestyle and second-home destination.

The combined data shows airport-led development is driving real estate momentum in emerging growth clusters. Improved connectivity, future capital appreciation and higher economic activity around aviation hubs are pushing buyers towards affordable hubs, mid-income corridors, premium micro-markets and rapidly appreciating plotted segments.
