New Delhi, Nov 10 (NationPress) The primary housing market sales value in leading Indian cities is anticipated to surge by over 19 percent in FY26 (year-over-year), surpassing Rs 6.65 lakh crore, fueled by robust demand for luxury and ultra-luxury homes, as highlighted in a report released on Monday.
Sales volumes across the top seven Indian cities have shown stability despite geopolitical tensions and escalating prices, indicating that over 1.93 lakh units were transacted in these urban centers during H1 FY26 (April-September), according to insights from the real estate services firm Anarock.
This sales value momentum is primarily led by high-value homes, with demand for luxury and ultra-luxury housing consistently outpacing other market segments.
Data reveals that the cumulative sales value for H1 FY26 reached Rs 2.98 lakh crore, accounting for 53 percent of the total sales value of Rs 5.59 lakh crore for FY2025.
“The sales value of total homes sold is on the rise. Although sales volume experienced a 14 percent decline year over year in FY25, the sales value surged by 6 percent to Rs 5,59,290 crore — the highest since FY22,” stated Prashant Thakur, Executive Director and Head–Research and Advisory at Anarock Group.
Following a peak in overall absorption during FY24, housing sales have softened amid various challenges, Thakur noted, adding that current trends point towards potential double-digit sales value growth by the end of the fiscal year, even as overall volumes are projected to either stabilize or see moderate growth of up to 4 percent.
A detailed city analysis revealed that the National Capital Region (NCR) and Chennai surpassed other cities in H1 FY26, achieving 74 percent and 71 percent of their FY25 sales values, respectively.
In contrast, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) attained 45 percent of the total sales value recorded in the prior fiscal year.
