Registrations also rose 9% month-on-month (MoM) compared to June 2025. The data encompasses transactions in both primary (fresh sale) and secondary (re-sale) markets for residential apartments during this period, in their latest report, real estate consultants Knight Frank noted.
Between January and July 2025, a total of 35,244 apartments were registered in the Kolkata Metropolitan Area, reflecting a 41% YoY increase compared to the same period last year. This sharp rise stands out against the nominal 3% YoY growth recorded in 2024, highlighting a significant surge in homebuyer appetite and the broader expansion of the residential market in the region.
Apartments up to 500 sq ft dominated Kolkata’s residential registrations in July 2025, accounting for 54% of all transactions, showing an improvement compared to 45% in July 2024 and a remarkable rise from 27% in July 2023.
Interesting, this trend bucks the general affinity seen for larger homes in other comparable cities. However, the share of 500–1,000 sq ft and over 1,000 sq ft segments settled at 42% and 4%, respectively in July 2025 both showing a marginal decline from 47% and 8% in July 2024.
In July 2025, the South Zone dominated the micro-market with an impressive 37% share of Kolkata’s total apartment registrations. Thakurpukur, Jadavpur, Behala and Kasba witnessed large volumes in terms of number of registrations within this zone. With many peripheral locations catering to affordable and mid-segment products, this zone’s share remained the highest among all the micro markets. However, the North Zone’s share came down from 34% in July 2024 to 26% in July 2025, though still maintaining the second rank in the city.
