Mumbai: In 2025, the homebuyer confidence grew due to stable market, faster project delivery, improved regulations and buyers favouring established developers causing the market to be more consolidated with consistency, scale and financial discipline.
Consumer expectations have also shifted this year families now look for better design, larger layouts, and dependable services.
Talking to Bizz Buzz, Sandeep Ahuja, Global CEO, Atmosphere Living says, “This has increased the demand for luxury housing and branded residences which have organised infrastructure, security, and amenities, making them an attractive investment option for the modern buyer.”
With India now contributing to almost 4% of global branded residences and while the demand remains concentrated in Mumbai, Delhi – NCR, Bengaluru and Pune while Goa and Uttarakhand have grown into a hub for second home branded residences.
The NRI investment has grown as global capital has remained steady as infrastructure development has also been consistent. These factors strengthened India’s position going into 2026, creating a solid foundation for the next cycle of growth across both major cities and emerging markets.
The year 2025 has been a hallmark in growing homebuyer’s confidence - a trend that has shown how buyers have migrated towards real estate when choosing long-term investments. This confidence has also fueled demand for large-scale township developments, with both established and new-age developers opting toward integrated living models that combine education, retail, open spaces, and security into a single ecosystem.
Within Mumbai, this is evidently seen in locations such as Borivali, Navi Mumbai, the Kalyana-Dombivli belt, along with some parts of Mira Road and Goregaon Extension, where improved connectivity and the availability of larger land parcels are allowing townships to take root.
Rohan Khatau, Director, CCI Projects says, “Consumer aspirations have also evolved with them leaning towards larger, flexible spaces with essential services and lifestyle conveniences.
Rohan Khatau, Director, CCI Projects says, “Even when it comes to assets, real estate has been thriving with more than 4 billion investments made this year signalling long-term confidence in India’s real estate sector.”
For townships, there is an opportunity to continue building with purpose, delivering consistently, and establishing communities that reflect the changing aspirations of Indian homebuyers.
