REA India, owner of Housing.com, has reported a 25 per cent growth in revenue to AUD 129.2 million (Rs 7.11 billion) in the fiscal year ended June 2025, supported by strong residential property demand.

Part of Australia’s publicly listed REA Group, REA India is a full-stack real estate technology company that also operates Makaan.com. Recently, it announced the divestment of its housing brokerage arm PropTiger.

The company’s EBITDA loss narrowed to AUD 28.4 million in FY25, compared with AUD 35.8 million in the previous fiscal.

“FY25 has been a landmark year of growth and strategic clarity. Our focus remains on delivering a superior consumer experience by using technology to improve listing quality, simplify discovery, and support better decision-making in the home-buying journey,” said Praveen Sharma, CEO of REA India.

In FY25, the company recorded a 19 per cent rise in app traffic and a 58 per cent increase in verified listings. Sharma added that the proposed sale of PropTiger will enable REA India to scale Housing.com more effectively, particularly in Tier-2 cities, while continuing to drive top-line growth towards long-term profitability.

Last month, Aurum PropTech Ltd announced the acquisition of PropTiger from REA Group for Rs 864.5 million, through the issue of preferential shares to REA India.

Founded in 2011 by Dhruv Agarwala, PropTiger became part of REA Group in 2020 alongside Housing.com. Agarwala stepped down as CEO of REA India in April this year.
