West Asia conflict keeps home price growth under check in Jan-Mar across top 7 cities: Anarock
Business To Business, New Delhi, 05 April 2026: India’s housing market showed signs of slowing momentum in early 2026, with only modest price growth amid weaker buyer sentiment, according to data from Anarock.
- Average housing prices across the top seven cities rose 2% quarter-on-quarter, from ₹9,260 to ₹9,456 per sq ft.
- On a year-on-year basis, prices increased 7%, up from ₹8,868 per sq ft in Jan–Mar 2025.
- Decline in housing sales, reflecting cautious buyer behavior
- Negative consumer sentiment, influenced by the ongoing geopolitical tensions in West Asia
While prices are still rising, the
pace of growth has softened, indicating:
- A possible cooling phase after strong post-pandemic demand
- Buyers turning more cautious due to global uncertainties
- Developers potentially facing pressure on sales volumes
In essence, the market remains stable but is showing early signs of
demand fatigue, with external geopolitical factors starting to weigh on consumer confidence.
