Residential property registrations in nine Indian cities fell by 5% in 2025, while their total value jumped by 11%, as per Square Yards. This shift is driven by affluent buyers favoring luxury homes. A stabilization phase is anticipated in 2026 with a re-balance towards mid-market segments.

Despite a notable 5% decline in residential property registrations across nine major Indian cities by December 25, 2025, the cumulative value surged by 11%, Square Yards reported.
