Pune saw the steepest yearly decline of 15 per cent in the quarter.New launches, on the other hand, rose by 7 per cent Y-o-Y from around 98,625 units in Q2 CY 2025 to around 1,06,000 units in Q2 2026. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region and Bengaluru saw the maximum new supply, accounting for 53 per cent of the total new inventory additions across the top seven cities.On the pricing side, the quarterly, average residential prices in the top seven cities rose by a meagre 1 per cent, but rose 7 per cent annually. Anarock chairman Anuj Puri said the Q2 numbers are on expected lines as the impact of the West Asia conflict on the entire sector were obvious.“What we have currently is a more balanced housing market where new supply is catching up with absorption, as sales growth moderates across most top cities. Notably, the most sales growth now is in premium housing, GCC-led employment hubs, and infrastructure-driven corridors, “ he said.Published on June 29, 2026
