Bengaluru emerges as the market that performs best on all counts, whereas Mumbai continues to dominate the residential sales market. As the financial hub of India, Mumbai has seen the largest number of home sales driven by demand from all economic classes. A positive buyer sentiment, stable finance, and consistent launches in the market have enabled Mumbai to remain ahead in terms of sales.

On the other hand, the National Capital Region (NCR) takes the forefront when it comes to residential price appreciation. The high demand for upscale and luxury homes, as well as the shortage of supply in certain micro-markets, results in an increase in real estate values in the region. Moreover, the constant development of infrastructure and better connectivity makes the NCR housing market more attractive to investors.

The performance of these top cities reflects the changing dynamics of the residential real estate industry in India. There are specific strong points in each city; Bangalore for healthy markets, Mumbai for highest number of transactions, and NCR for highest price growth.
