Delhi-NCR Housing Sales Fall 17 Per Cent In Jan-Mar: Anarock

02 Apr 2026 CW Team

Developers responded by enhancing sales incentives and by recalibrating launch schedules to match the reduced demand, according to the report. Affordability considerations and the continued sensitivity of buyers to economic headlines played a role, even as home loan availability remained generally intact. Pricing trajectories varied across localities, with some projects registering stable effective rates and others witnessing marginal moderation. The report suggested that promotional offers and flexible payment plans became more prevalent.

Demand composition shifted modestly, with end users reportedly more active than speculative buyers, and with sales skewing towards completed and ready-to-move projects. The decline in overall sales was not uniform, as peripheral suburbs showed different patterns compared with established central nodes. Anarock emphasised that short-term disruptions could persist while uncertainty lasted but that structural demand drivers such as urbanisation and household formation remain in place. Stakeholders were advised to monitor lead indicators such as enquiries and site visits.

Looking ahead, the consultancy expected a gradual stabilisation if geopolitical tensions subside and if consumer confidence recovers, enabling developers to resume normal launch activity. Policymakers and lenders were urged to remain attentive to liquidity and sentiment dynamics to support market functioning. The report concluded that while the quarter reflected a noticeable pause, recovery could follow once external headwinds ease and market participants adjust to the new environment.

Anarock Property Consultants (Anarock) has reported that housing sales in Delhi-NCR declined by 17 per cent in the January to March quarter, with the West Asia conflict weighing on buyer sentiment. The consultancy indicated that the geopolitical shock prompted many prospective purchasers to defer decisions and that investor activity also cooled. Transaction volumes were said to have slowed across several micro markets, while new project launches were limited as developers adopted a cautious stance. Market observers noted a softer pace of absorptions compared with the preceding quarter.
