Bengaluru housing sales slip 6% amid national decline in Q2 2025

India’s housing market is showing signs of a slowdown, with sales across nine major cities projected to fall by 19% year-on-year in the April-June quarter, according to data from PropEquity. Bengaluru, while more resilient than other metros, is not immune—residential sales in the city are estimated to drop 6% to 14,676 units, down from 15,582 units during the same period last year.

The nationwide decline in housing sales to 94,864 units—falling below the 1 lakh mark for the first time since Q3 2021—is being attributed to a dip in new project launches and cooling demand. New housing supply is also expected to shrink 30% to 82,027 units, marking the fourth consecutive quarter of reduced supply.

While Bengaluru’s decline is modest compared to steeper falls in cities like Mumbai (34%), Pune (27%), and Thane (34%), developers in the city remain cautious, reflecting broader market sentiment. Other cities facing significant sales contractions include Hyderabad (20%) and Navi Mumbai (17%). Kolkata is expected to see an 8% dip.

In contrast, Delhi-NCR and Chennai are bucking the trend with projected sales increases of 16% and 9%, respectively, suggesting regional variations in buyer activity and inventory absorption.

Bengaluru’s comparatively stable performance underscores its steady demand, but the slowdown signals a need for strategic planning among developers navigating a more restrained market landscape.
