New Delhi, Feb 16 || The overall residential market in India continues to exhibit underlying resilience, supported by a stable macroeconomic backdrop and recent repo rate cuts, a report showed on Monday.
Premium segments (homes priced Rs 1 crore and above) now constitute 50 per cent of total annual sales in the country.
While the overall market remained resilient with 3,48,207 units sold in 2025 and sales of units priced over Rs 1 crore rose by 14 per cent year-on-year (YoY), the affordable housing segment – homes priced under Rs 50 lakh, experienced a significant decline of 17 per cent YoY, said the report by Knight Frank India for the second half last year (H2 2025).
The report notes that the slowdown is largely confined to lower ticket segments. Consequently, homes priced above Rs 1 crore now dominate the landscape leaving a comparatively much smaller footprint of affordable housing sales across India.
This trend was particularly evident in cities like Delhi-NCR, said the report.
