Mumbai: India’s real estate market recorded stable performance over the past week as housing sales, new project launches and institutional investments continued across major urban centres. Despite global economic headwinds and relatively high interest rates, buyer confidence remained intact, particularly in the mid-income and premium housing segments. Markets such as the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, National Capital Region, Bengaluru and Hyderabad continued to witness steady demand, largely driven by end-users, reflecting a structurally stronger and more disciplined property cycle.
In the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, residential transactions remained consistent, supported by demand in suburban pockets including Thane, Mira Road and Navi Mumbai. Developers reported sustained inquiries for 1 BHK and 2 BHK apartments, mainly in the ₹70 lakh to ₹1.5 crore price bracket. Selective demand was also observed in premium micro-markets across South Mumbai and the western suburbs, where buyers showed a clear preference for ready-to-move-in homes by established developers. Improved metro connectivity and ongoing infrastructure projects continued to influence purchase decisions.
The National Capital Region maintained healthy momentum during the week, with Gurugram and Noida emerging as key demand centres. Gurugram’s Dwarka Expressway corridor saw increased site visits and booking activity, supported by progress in road infrastructure and project completions. Noida and Greater Noida recorded stable absorption in mid-segment housing, driven primarily by salaried professionals and first-time homebuyers. Industry participants noted steady interest in plotted developments and low-rise floors, indicating a continued preference for spacious living options.
Southern Indian cities continued to perform steadily, with Bengaluru and Hyderabad remaining among the most resilient residential markets. Bengaluru’s housing demand stayed concentrated in Whitefield, Sarjapur Road and North Bengaluru, where IT-sector employment continues to underpin buyer activity. While price appreciation has moderated, transaction volumes remained stable. Hyderabad continued to attract both homebuyers and long-term investors, particularly in western corridors such as Kokapet and the Financial District, supported by strong infrastructure development and policy stability.
Institutional investor sentiment remained positive, with ongoing activity in commercial real estate assets. Global and domestic investors showed selective interest in Grade A office spaces and mixed-use developments in cities such as Bengaluru, Mumbai and Hyderabad. Leasing demand from technology firms, BFSI players and global capability centres supported investor confidence. Warehousing and logistics assets also remained in focus, driven by the steady expansion of e-commerce and supply-chain operations.
Market experts believe near-term real estate fundamentals remain stable, supported by urbanisation, infrastructure spending and sustained end-user demand. While global macroeconomic uncertainty may create short-term volatility, India’s real estate sector continues to offer selective opportunities across residential, commercial and alternative asset classes.
