13 Nov 2025 CW Team

The study shows that property prices across key hill destinations increased 10.3 per cent year-on-year, led by:

Dehradun: up 30.9 per cent

Manali: up 18.1 per cent

Mussoorie: up 11.1 per cent

Average prices ranged from Rs 5,800 per sq ft in Dharamshala to Rs 12,700 per sq ft in Lonavala. Despite a 1.2 per cent decline in supply, buyer activity remained strong, especially in the Rs 3 million–Rs 10 million bracket, which accounted for nearly 70 per cent of total demand.

Independent houses and residential plots continued to dominate buyer preferences across most hill regions, while villas gained notable traction in Lonavala (72 per cent) and Ooty (31 per cent).

The rental market also rebounded sharply, with soaring demand in:

Shimla: up 43 per cent

Mussoorie: up 31 per cent

Rishikesh: up 16 per cent

Shimla (4.72 per cent), Nainital (3.87 per cent), and Dharamshala (3.69 per cent) offered the highest rental yields, reinforcing rising investor confidence in holiday homes and the vacation rental segment.

While India’s top 13 Tier-1 cities reported 6.4 per cent demand growth and 21.1 per cent price appreciation, hill markets outperformed on the demand side with 8.2 per cent growth, supported by improved connectivity, lifestyle upgrades, and the continuing work-from-anywhere culture.

With relatively moderate price appreciation of 10.3 per cent, hill stations remain comparatively affordable and continue to attract both investors and end-users seeking long-term residential value.
