Kolkata led India's top seven cities with a remarkable 16% year-on-year residential price appreciation from January to September 2025, outpacing others despite softer sales volumes. Premium homes over ₹1 crore fueled this rise as developers chased higher margins amid a national slowdown, proving the city's market strength and buyer confidence.
Despite a nationwide slowdown in housing sales, Kolkata posted a 4% year-on-year increase in Q3 2025, according to ANAROCK data. Only Kolkata and Chennai showed growth, with Chennai surging 33%, while major cities like NCR, MMR, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad experienced declines, underscoring regional market resilience amid economic pressures.
