    Value of homes sold in India’s top 15 tier 2 cities has increased by 6% to Rs 40,443 crore in Q1 2025 as against Rs 38,102 crore in the same period last year.

    According to NSE-listed real estate data analytics firm PropEquity, Lucknow with 25% increase in number of units sold in Q1 2025 at 1301 units registered the highest growth amongst top 15 tier 2 cities. This was followed by Coimbatore 21%, Gandhi Nagar 18% and Mohali 2%.

    Overall, the sale fell by 8% to 43,781 units in Q1 2025 as compared to 47,378 units in the same period last year.

    “The decline in sales in tier 2 cities in January-March period is in line with trends witnessed in tier 1 cities. However, lesser supply in this quarter resulted in lower sales in tier 2 cities. State Capitals performed relatively better,” said Samir Jasuja, Founder and CEO, PropEquity.

    Other 11 cities saw decline in number of units sold in Q1 2025 with Visakhapatnam registering the highest decline (37%) and Ahmedabad and Goa recording the least decline (1% each).

    Coimbatore with 52% growth saw the highest increase in sales value at Rs 1120 crore in Q1, 2025. This was followed by Lucknow at 48%, Gandhi Nagar 36%, Mohali and Goa at 17% each, Ahmedabad and Bhubaneshwar at 7% each and Kochi 5%.

    Other 7 cities saw a decline in sales value in Q1 2025 with Visakhapatnam recording the highest decline (35%) and Vadodara and Nagpur registering the least decline (1% each).

    “Demand in tier 2 cities, however, remains robust as people have shown greater preference for organised living. Urban rejuvenation efforts, improved connectivity & social infrastructure, and more importantly greater employment opportunities mainly in IT and new manufacturing hubs in tier 2 cities have further accelerated demand not only from within but also from people who have migrated to metro cities and are preferring to purchase property in their hometowns,” Jasuja said.

    The six State Capitals in top 15 tier 2 cities, namely Gandhi Nagar, Jaipur, Bhubaneshwar, Lucknow, Goa and Bhopal, saw 5% decline in sales and 17% increase in sales value, accounting for 25% of sales and 30% of sales value in Q1 2025.
