Chennai's residential real estate market began 2025 on a strong note, with rising sales, improved buyer confidence, and steady demand, according to CREDAI Chennai. Sales rose 7% quarter-on-quarter and 27% year-on-year in Q1, reaching 3,783 units. Ready-to-move and near-completion homes remained most preferred. The RBI's repo rate cut and revised income tax slabs have boosted affordability, especially for first-time buyers. Demand surged in southern suburbs and emerging hubs like Parandur, Minjur, and Sriperumbudur, driven by infrastructure growth and Metro Phase II. With government support and a focus on regulatory compliance, the market is poised for sustained expansion, offering strong potential for both buyers and investors.
The residential real estate market in Chennai and its surrounding areas has entered 2025 on a strong footing, as stated in a new report by the Confederation of Real Estate Developers' Associations of India (CREDAI), Chennai. A steady recovery in demand, increased buyer confidence, and strong sales figures have been observed in the first quarter of the year, covering the period from January to March 2025. Advertisement
According to the report, growth in property registrations and consistent residential sales activity has reflected a resilient housing sector. It was noted that homebuyers continued to show a preference for projects that were either ready-to-occupy or nearing completion. These types of properties were seen as more attractive, possibly due to reduced wait times and lower risks in comparison to projects under early stages of construction.
The recent decision by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to reduce the repo rate has contributed to improved affordability for buyers. Additionally, the revised income tax slabs introduced by the Central government have helped to further support sentiment, especially among first-time buyers. These financial policy changes have been viewed as positive steps towards enabling homeownership.
Residential unit sales during the January to March 2025 period rose by 7% compared to the previous quarter, reaching 3,783 units. When compared year-on-year, a notable 27% increase was recorded. Most of the demand was observed in the southern suburbs of Chennai, where improved infrastructure and the ongoing development of Metro Phase II have driven interest and investment.
Several locations including Parandur-where the proposed new airport is planned-Minjur, Chengalpattu, and Sriperumbudur have also emerged as preferred choices among homebuyers. The report noted that these areas are likely to see continued growth in future quarters due to infrastructure expansion and increased development activity.
With developers focusing on regulatory compliance and end-user needs, and with the government backing infrastructure upgrades, the Chennai residential market seems well-positioned for sustained growth in the coming months. The evolving landscape is expected to offer both investment opportunities and improved living conditions for homebuyers across various segments.
