Goa stood out as the only Tier 2 city where weighted average launch prices exceeded Rs 10,000 per sq. ft. Meanwhile, cities like Surat, Gandhi Nagar, and Raipur remained under Rs 5,000 per sq. ft., maintaining affordability for buyers.

PropEquity’s CEO, Samir Jasuja, attributed the rising prices to renewed interest from developers and investors, driven by affordable land, infrastructure upgrades, and strong housing demand. These factors have spurred increased launches of premium and luxury housing projects by both established developers and new entrants.

This growth reflects Tier 2 cities’ increasing appeal as real estate hubs, offering opportunities for both buyers and investors.
