The Indian housing market is showing signs of a slowdown. The All-India House Price Index (HPI) grew by a modest 2.2% year-on-year in Q2 FY26. This is a significant drop from the 7% growth we saw in the same period last year. What’s causing this cooling effect?
While cities like Nagpur, Ghaziabad, and Chandigarh contributed to the annual rise, major metropolitan areas such as Kolkata and Chennai experienced softer price movements, pulling down the overall index. This suggests a shift in regional demand and affordability dynamics.
What does this mean for you? Whether you’re a prospective homeowner, investor, or simply tracking market trends, this slowdown presents both opportunities and challenges. It’s a good time to re-evaluate your investment strategies and consider the long-term prospects of different micro-markets.
