Indian Real Estate Sets New Record with ₹1.52 Lakh Crore in Home Sales

India’s real estate trends in 2025 presented a mixed picture. While the number of homes sold declined, the total value of residential sales reached record levels. Across the top seven metro cities, home sales volumes fell by 9% to 12% compared to the previous year, particularly during the January–September period. Despite this decline, the value of home sales increased by over 14%, reaching an impressive ₹1.52 lakh crore, injecting fresh optimism into the real estate market.

The year 2025 stands out as a landmark period in the history of India’s real estate sector. According to the latest JLL India report, the sector attracted $10.4 billion (approximately ₹93,200 crore) in investments during the year—significantly higher than in 2024. This translates to an average daily investment inflow of over ₹255 crore, reflecting strong institutional confidence in Indian real estate. Compared to 2024, investments in the office space segment doubled in 2025, with office assets accounting for 58% of total real estate investments.

City-wise Investment Trends
Bengaluru emerged as the top investment destination, attracting 29% of total real estate investments, followed closely by Mumbai. Importantly, investment activity was not limited to metro cities alone. Tier-2 cities attracted approximately $175 million in investments, signalling a broader market expansion.

Investors are increasingly diversifying beyond traditional residential and office assets. Sectors such as data centres, student housing, life sciences, and healthcare real estate are witnessing rapid growth in investment interest. Experts believe that real estate has now emerged as one of the safest avenues for long-term wealth creation and stable income generation. Sustained foreign investor confidence combined with strong domestic institutional participation is steadily positioning India’s real estate sector on the global stage, industry experts note.
