India’s real estate sentiment is witnessing a strong upswing, driven primarily by a renewed surge in office leasing and a sharp rise in demand for premium housing across major metros. Industry analysts note that the sector’s confidence index has strengthened consistently through the year, signalling a sustained growth phase for both commercial and residential markets.
On the commercial front, Grade-A office absorption has jumped significantly, fuelled by global capability centres (GCCs), IT/ITES firms, consulting companies, and a fresh wave of startups upgrading to larger, tech-enabled office spaces. Several cities including Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, and Gurugram have reported double-digit leasing growth, supported by strong business expansion plans and a preference for flexible, wellness-centric workplaces.
In the residential segment, premium and luxury housing have clearly taken the lead. Developers report that homes priced above ₹1.5 crore continue to outperform other categories, backed by affluent buyers, NRIs, and young professionals seeking larger, experience-focused living spaces. The trend is reinforced by lifestyle upgrades, hybrid work culture, and improved mortgage options. Many leading builders have seen record pre-launch and launch-day bookings, indicating high consumer confidence.
Experts say the simultaneous rise in office leasing and premium home purchases reflects a broader economic revival. Corporate occupiers are expanding, income levels are climbing, and buyer sentiment remains positive — even in the face of elevated interest rates.
With commercial demand rebounding and premium housing maintaining its strong momentum, the real estate sector is poised for robust growth heading into the next year. Developers, investors, and homebuyers alike are viewing this phase as one of the strongest and most stable recovery cycles in recent times.
