Real estate data analytics firm PropEquity released data of primary residential market for July-September, which is generally considered as a weak quarter because of monsoon season and inauspicious Shraadh period.
Samir Jasuja, founder and CEO, PropEquity said, “The reason why we feel that the housing market remains healthy even though the new launches are coming down consecutively is because the sales continue to be higher than the new launches.”

On the new housing supply front, the report said that new launches in India’s top 9 cities are expected to remain flat YoY, remaining below the 1 lakh unit mark, at 92,229 units in Q3 2025.
“While the current quarter has seen subdued activity, we anticipate a rebound in the upcoming quarter due to the festive season, which is expected to drive stronger demand, leading to improved launch momentum and a higher absorption level,” Jasuja said.
