Home Registrations Dip 5% in 9 Cities, But Value Soars 11%: Square Yards

• Home registrations fell 5% to 5.45 lakh units across 9 cities by December 25 this year, according to Square Yards.
• Despite fewer registrations, the total value of these residential properties surged 11% to ₹4.46 crore.
• The increase in value is primarily driven by demand for premium and luxury housing from wealthy Indians.
• Affordability thresholds are being tested, but the luxury segment expects stabilization, not a slowdown, in 2026.
• The housing market is poised for sustainable progress in 2026, with a shift towards the mid-market segment and quality developments.

Why It Matters: Despite fewer home registrations, property values rose significantly due to luxury housing demand.
