India's top cities witnessed their worst housing sales performance in 14 quarters, dipping below 1 lakh units. Mumbai and Thane led the decline with 34% fewer sales while Delhi-NCR surprisingly grew supply by 37%. The PropEquity report highlights a 19% annual sales slump alongside 30% fewer new units entering the market. Experts attribute this to market stabilization after the 2023-24 peak, with Chennai and Hyderabad showing modest recovery signs.

Not surprising at all. The property prices in Mumbai and Bangalore have become insane! Even decent 2BHK flats are selling for 2+ crores. How can middle class families afford this? Developers need to wake up and build more affordable housing. 🇮🇳

Interesting to see Delhi-NCR bucking the trend. Maybe because of better infrastructure development in Noida/Ghaziabad? The metro connectivity has improved a lot there. Still waiting for Mumbai's real estate to become reasonable though 😅

This is just market correction after the COVID boom. Too many people bought properties in 2021-23 fearing prices would rise further. Now reality is setting in. Smart buyers should wait 6-12 months for better deals.

The government should intervene to control housing prices. So many young couples are unable to buy their first home because of these crazy rates. Maybe stricter regulations on investor purchases would help actual home buyers.

As someone working in real estate, I can confirm builders are holding back new launches. Inventory levels are high and they want to clear existing stock first. The days of 10% annual price hikes are over for now.

Maybe people are finally realizing that renting makes more financial sense in cities like Mumbai and Bangalore. Why pay 3-4 lakh EMI when you can rent the same flat for 50-60k? The math just doesn't add up anymore.
