Housing Stock Growth Fuels Positive Momentum for Homebuyers

New data analysis from eXp India reveals a strong upward trend in housing stock across the majority of key regions, signalling growing opportunities for homebuyers in 2025.

Since the start of the year, almost every area of the country has seen an increase in available property listings, reflecting expanding market supply and positive momentum for buyers nationwide.

Leading the way are the top five regions with the largest growth in housing stock:

• NCR (National Capital Region) — up by 12.4 percent, driven by ongoing development and new project launches
• Mumbai Metropolitan Region — increased by 9.7 percent, benefiting from urban renewal and new residential projects
• Bengaluru — rose by 8.5 percent, reflecting strong demand met with fresh supply in key suburban areas
• Chennai — up 7.9 percent, supported by both primary and secondary market growth
• Pune — increased 6.8 percent, fuelled by infrastructure development and rising investment interest

This widespread growth in housing availability presents significant benefits for buyers, including improved choice, more competitive pricing, and better negotiating power in what has historically been a high-demand market. The overall increase in supply is likely to ease affordability pressures and help sustain positive market momentum through 2025 and beyond.

However, there is one notable exception — Kolkata — which has experienced a slight decline in available listings, down 1.3 percent since January. While this reduction is modest compared to other markets, it does suggest localized supply constraints that could intensify competition and push prices higher if demand remains strong.

Overall, the data from eXp India highlights a predominantly positive outlook for homebuyers this year, with growing stock levels across most major regions helping to balance supply and demand dynamics. The market is positioned for continued growth, provided new supply continues to keep pace with buyer interest.

This growth in supply will help improve affordability and provide buyers with a wider range of options — a vital development in supporting a balanced and sustainable property market. While Kolkata’s slight decline in listings highlights some localized challenges, the overall positive momentum is clear. At eXp India, we remain committed to helping buyers navigate these evolving market dynamics and find the right homes that meet their needs.”
