India’s real estate sector remains resilient but selective as it enters the summer of 2026. Luxury and premium homes continue to drive momentum, while mid-segment demand shows signs of moderation due to higher prices.
Key Highlights:
Price Growth: Residential property prices rose 4.2% year-on-year in Q1 2026. Bengaluru led with a strong 24% jump, followed by healthy gains in Mumbai, Hyderabad, Pune, and Delhi-NCR.
Luxury Boom: High-end properties (₹1 crore+) now dominate sales, accounting for a large share of transactions. Developers are focusing on premium projects as buyers seek better value and lifestyle amenities.
Market Caution: Overall housing sales dipped in top cities, with unsold inventory rising. Buyers are becoming more careful amid affordability challenges in the mid-range segment.
