| Demand rises across segments in Aug 2025 |
The most significant growth was noted in the under Rs 25 lakh category which formed 30% of the total properties registered in August 2025, the report mentioned. With a total of 3,975 units registered costing up to Rs 25 lakh, the category saw a rise of 17% YoY over same time last year. In August 2024 the category recorded registrations of 3,411 units.
The share of homes priced above Rs 1 crore increased from 15% in August 2024 to 16% in August 2025, underscoring stronger appetite for premium housing. Meanwhile, properties priced up to Rs 1 crore eased from 85% to 84% over the same period. Even so, with this segment still making up most sales, demand remains firmly concentrated below the Rs 1 crore price point, suggesting that while the top end is expanding, the market’s foundation continues to be broad-based.
