India's real estate sector has demonstrated significant progress, placing 15th in the world with a 7.7% nominal price rise in the first quarter of 2025. The residential market in the country is gaining from robust demand from end-users, increasing incomes, and a resurgence of investor interest. This favorable trend is anticipated to persist into 2025, fueled by economic growth and steady interest rates. Knight Frank's Global House Price Index indicates that home prices in India rose by 2.9% this quarter, demonstrating ongoing buyer confidence. Worldwide, yearly price increase in the 55 markets monitored by Knight Frank climbed to 2.3% in Q1 2025, a slight recovery from the 1.7% noted in Q4 2024. The report reveals that 87% of the markets experienced annual growth, a notable enhancement compared to earlier years when elevated borrowing costs suppressed demand. Turkey, North Macedonia, and Portugal were the leading nations with double-digit yearly growth. Concurrently, Mainland China and Hong Kong SAR saw the sharpest reductions. The CMD of Knight Frank India, Mr. Shishir Baijal, remarked that the favorable price trend underscores the resilience of India's housing market, even in the face of global economic instability. He expects that as interest rates continue to stabilize, demand will stay strong, particularly in the mid- and premium housing sectors. Mr. Liam Bailey, Global Head of Research at Knight Frank, mentioned that although there has been a slight recovery in global house price growth, genuine affordability continues to be challenged. He thinks that additional policy relaxation will be required this year to maintain growth. India's residential market stability is anticipated to continue until 2025, driven by robust domestic demand and economic expansion
