India鈥檚 housing market is showing contrasting trends across budget segments. According to the latest data from ANAROCK Research, unsold affordable housing units (priced below Rs 4 million) across the top seven cities dropped by 19% year-on-year in Q1 2025, falling from approximately 140,000 units to 113,000 units. This decline is attributed to restricted new supply and sustained demand from end-users.
Conversely, unsold stock in the luxury housing segment (priced above Rs 15 million) surged 24% in the same period, growing from 91,125 units to over 1.13 lakh units. The spike comes on the back of robust new launches and cautious investor sentiment amid global economic uncertainty.
City-wise trends
Bengaluru led the affordable housing recovery with a sharp 51% decline in unsold inventory, followed by Chennai (44%) and Pune (28%). Only Hyderabad registered a 9% increase in unsold affordable stock.
On the luxury side, Chennai and Pune were the only cities to report a drop in unsold inventory鈥攄own by 4% and 11%, respectively. In contrast, NCR鈥檚 luxury inventory jumped by over 78%, Bengaluru by 57%, and Kolkata by a staggering 96%. Hyderabad and MMR also saw modest increases of 6% each.

Anuj Puri, Chairman of ANAROCK Group, noted, 鈥淎ffordable housing bore the brunt of the pandemic, with its market share shrinking drastically. However, the recent drop in unsold inventory signals a recovery driven by genuine end-user demand. On the other hand, luxury housing鈥攄espite increased sales鈥攈as seen a build-up in unsold stock due to a spike in new supply.鈥�
The data underscores a shifting housing market dynamic, where affordable homes are being absorbed gradually, while luxury inventory is building up even amid higher demand.
