The real estate sector saw 'cautious recovery’ in Q2 2025, with ₹1 crore-plus homes outperforming. South India led sentiment, a Knight Frank-NAREDCO report said!
Real estate developers and financial institutions remain optimistic about growth in India’s property market over the next six months, despite ongoing global uncertainties. According to the Knight Frank-NAREDCO Real Estate Sentiment Index, the sector displayed signs of a 'cautious recovery' in Q2 2025. The ₹1 crore-plus housing segment continues to outperform, driven by strong demand in select micro-markets. Developers are increasingly tailoring new launches to align with evolving lifestyle preferences and patterns of urban expansion.
Geographically, South India emerged as the most confident region, registering a Future Sentiment Score of 63. Key cities such as Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Chennai led this momentum, supported by robust office space absorption and active developer participation in both plotted developments and apartment projects.
The Current Sentiment Score rose modestly to 56 in the April-June quarter, from 54 in the preceding January-March period, ending a four-quarter downward streak. The Future Sentiment Score climbed to 61 in April-June, from 56 a quarter ago. A score of 50 indicates a neutral outlook; scores above 50 reflect positive sentiment, while those below 50 suggest a negative outlook.
The report also pointed to renewed optimism in the housing market, especially in the premium segment, spurred by falling interest rates, record GST collections, and strong demand momentum.
