A Transformational Boom in India's Residential Market

India's real estate sector has entered a transformative phase, with residential property registrations in top Indian cities soaring to new highs. According to a new report by Square Yards, the number of registered transactions across major cities reached 5.44 lakh units in FY25, a staggering 77% jump from FY2019, which had recorded 3.07 lakh transactions.

The surge is being seen as a V-shaped recovery in the housing sector post-pandemic, driven by:

  • Renewed interest in homeownership
  • Growing demand for both primary and secondary housing options
