Housing sales in India’s top 15 tier 2 cities dropped by 8% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2025, according to a report by real estate data analytics firm PropEquity. A total of 43,781 units were sold in Q1 2025 compared to 47,378 units in Q1 2024.

On the flip side, Visakhapatnam saw the steepest fall, with a 37% decline in unit sales. Bhopal and Jaipur followed with 31% and 32% drops, respectively. Cities like Ahmedabad and Goa recorded minimal declines of 1%.

Sales value rises despite dip in volumes

Interestingly, even as the number of units sold declined, the sales value surged, suggesting a rise in property prices or a shift toward premium housing. Coimbatore led the value chart with a 52% increase, reaching Rs 1,120 crore in Q1 2025. Lucknow posted a 48% growth, followed by Gandhi Nagar (36%), Mohali and Goa (17% each), and Ahmedabad and Bhubaneshwar (7% each).

Meanwhile, Visakhapatnam again saw the highest dip in value at 35%, with Bhopal (24%) and Jaipur (10%) trailing. Vadodara and Nagpur saw marginal declines of just 1% each.

State capitals show resilience

The six state capitals in the report—Gandhi Nagar, Jaipur, Bhubaneshwar, Lucknow, Goa, and Bhopal—saw a 5% drop in unit sales but a significant 17% increase in sales value. These cities together accounted for 25% of total units sold and 30% of the total sales value in Q1 2025, underscoring their importance in the tier 2 market.
