Housing sales fall 2% in H1 2026 as launches rise 7%
In short
Housing sales fell 2% in H1 2026, while new launches rose 7%. The average ticket size also edged up 2% to ₹1.41 crore.
This matters to homebuyers and developers because there are more homes to compare, but prices are not falling across the board. The reporting does not say which cities are seeing the biggest shifts.

Why it matters
Housing sales declined 2% in H1 2026 even as new launches rose 7% and the average ticket size climbed 2% to ₹1.41 crore. The reporting says buyers have more homes to compare and that there is no broad-based fall in prices yet, with city-level trends diverging. The immediate implication is a mixed housing market: supply is rising, sales are softer, and pricing pressure remains uneven.
