India’s Housing Market Shows Strong Regional Growth in 2025

India’s housing market continues to ride a wave of steady growth, with several key regions showing robust performance despite a few short-term slowdowns. The latest market analysis by eXp India reveals that cities like Gurugram, Noida, and Navi Mumbai are powering ahead, supported by rapid infrastructure development, urban expansion, and strong homebuyer demand.

The study, which draws from the NHB Residex data, highlights how regional markets are increasingly driving India’s real estate momentum. While a few pockets saw mild corrections, the broader picture remains encouraging, reflecting both resilience and long-term confidence among buyers and investors.

Northern cities fuel growth

Among India’s leading real estate destinations, Gurugram stood out with the highest quarterly growth in home prices, up 5.2%. The city’s continued transformation, powered by expressway networks, tech parks, and luxury housing developments, has made it one of the country’s most dynamic property markets.

Close behind were Greater Noida (+4.4%), Noida (+4.1%), Chandigarh (Tricity) (+3.4%), and Faridabad (+3.1%). Together, these northern cities are shaping much of the near-term momentum. The NCR region, in particular, has benefited from a combination of infrastructure upgrades — such as the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, the Noida International Airport, and expanding metro connectivity — that continue to make these areas highly attractive to professionals and investors alike.

“Strong demand from working professionals and improved urban infrastructure are giving NCR cities an edge,” noted eXp India’s analysis. “These markets are showing sustained appetite for both affordable and premium housing, especially as hybrid work models encourage people to invest in better-connected locations.”

Short-term corrections in select cities

While the overall trend remains positive, a few cities did experience moderate quarterly dips. Kochi recorded the sharpest decline at -7.4%, followed by Raipur (-4.0%), Delhi (-2.1%), Gandhinagar (-1.6%), and Thiruvananthapuram (-1.3%).

Experts suggest these fluctuations are temporary, reflecting local supply adjustments and seasonal buyer sentiment rather than deeper structural issues. Many of these cities, including Kochi and Delhi, continue to maintain healthy year-on-year performance and remain stable investment destinations.

Real estate observers point out that smaller corrections are a natural part of an expanding market cycle. “Price adjustments tend to occur when new inventory enters the market or when buyers briefly pause to reassess affordability,” said an analyst. “But the long-term trajectory remains upward across most cities.”

Navi Mumbai leads on annual growth

Looking at annual figures, the market’s optimism becomes even clearer. Navi Mumbai emerged as India’s strongest performer, posting a remarkable 39.1% increase in housing prices over the past year. The city’s planned infrastructure, improved transport links, and rising corporate presence have made it one of the country’s most desirable real estate hubs.

Following Navi Mumbai were Gurugram (+30%), Bhubaneswar (+23.2%), Greater Noida (+23%), and Noida (+22.2%). These cities are witnessing strong end-user and investor demand, with several large-scale residential and commercial projects reshaping their skylines.

On the other hand, a few regions such as Howrah (-6.1%), Kochi (-5.5%), Thiruvananthapuram (-4.8%), Gandhinagar (-0.9%), and Delhi (-0.2%) reported slight annual declines. However, these dips remain modest when compared with the overall national trend of rising property values.

Investor and buyer confidence stays high

Sam Chopra, President of eXp India, said the findings highlight the strength and adaptability of India’s housing market. “India’s housing market remains one of the most dynamic globally, with impressive growth in key regional hubs and continued long-term confidence from buyers and investors,” he said. “The strong performance in NCR and coastal cities such as Navi Mumbai underlines the enduring demand for well-connected, high-quality housing.”

Chopra also pointed to how eXp India’s platform is helping agents and developers navigate these market conditions. “Through data-driven insights, virtual collaboration, and international exposure, our model empowers real estate professionals to adapt quickly, provide greater value to clients, and sustain success in an increasingly competitive environment,” he added.

Resilient outlook for 2025

Despite regional variations, India’s housing sector is expected to continue expanding in 2025. Demand for well-planned housing, coupled with government-led infrastructure initiatives and favourable demographics, is likely to sustain growth.

Analysts note that the market’s regional diversity is now one of its biggest strengths. Tier II and Tier III cities are emerging as serious players, while metro regions continue to evolve through redevelopment and new urban planning efforts.

For homebuyers and investors, the message is clear: India’s real estate market is entering a phase of balanced growth, dynamic enough to offer returns, yet mature enough to handle occasional fluctuations.

India’s housing story remains one of optimism, opportunity, and evolving potential, a market that continues to build not just homes, but confidence across every corner of the country.
