Property prices across India’s major metropolitan cities continued their steady climb in the July–September quarter of 2025, buoyed by strong end-user demand, high input costs, and limited ready-to-move-in inventory, according to digital real estate platform PropTiger.com by Aurum Proptech. The report showed that the weighted average property price across the top eight cities posted robust year-on-year growth, led by Delhi NCR, which recorded a 19 per cent annual and 9.8 per cent quarterly increase. This surge was attributed to strong luxury housing demand and ongoing infrastructure improvements. The weighted average home price in Delhi NCR rose from Rs 7,479 per sq. ft. in Q3 2024 to Rs 8,900 per sq. ft. in Q3 2025. Bengaluru also posted impressive gains, with 15 per cent year-on-year and 12.6 per cent quarter-on-quarter growth. Prices there climbed to Rs 8,870 per sq. ft. in Q3 2025 from Rs 7,713 per sq. ft. in the same quarter last year. Hyderabad followed closely with 13 per cent annual and 4.6 per cent quarterly growth, with average prices rising to Rs 7,750 per sq. ft. from Rs 6,858 per sq. ft.. Karishmah Siingh, President of Sales, Marketing and CRM at Sattva Group, said Bengaluru and Hyderabad’s growth reflects the broader evolution of India’s urban economy. “As the IT and GCC sectors expand, they are shaping new patterns of homeownership built around proximity, lifestyle, and long-term security,” she said. “Families now seek integrated communities that support both professional and personal well-being, marking a mature and resilient housing market.” Other major cities — including Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, and Kolkata — recorded solid single-digit price growth, highlighting broad-based developer confidence and buyers’ willingness to invest in appreciating assets. The report also noted that home sales across India’s eight key residential markets stabilised, with a 1 per cent annual dip in volume to 95,547 units sold during Q3 2025. However, the total value of properties sold surged 14 per cent year-on-year to Rs 1.52 trillion, indicating a clear market shift towards premiumisation. New supply across the top eight cities saw a marginal annual decline to 91,807 units, though quarterly launches rose 9.1 per cent, signalling measured optimism among developers. “Developers are strategically launching higher-value projects to align with the strong demand for premium and luxury housing,” the report stated. Regionally, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) accounted for 26.9 per cent of new launches, followed by Pune (18.7 per cent) and Hyderabad (13.6 per cent). Together, these three cities represented 59.2 per cent of new inventory introduced during the quarter. The top eight markets tracked were Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, NCR, MMR, and Pune.
