What Is a Seller’s Market?
A seller’s market happens when there are more buyers than available homes. This drives up prices, increases demand for ready-to-move-in flats, and gives sellers the upper hand in negotiations.
According to industry analysts, 2024 and 2025 are seeing this exact scenario in cities like Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Pune, Bengaluru, and even tier 2 and 3 cities.
Shravan Gupta’s View on the Market Shift
Shravan Gupta, a well-known leader in Indian real estate and head of MGF Group, believes this is a turning point.
“The seller’s market will open a new future for Indian real estate. It will increase the value of old and new apartments, boost investor confidence, and create more trust in property as a long-term asset,”
— Shravan Gupta
His view reflects the mood of many investors and buyers who are now actively participating in the market.
Why Home Sales Are Rising in 2025
Unlike earlier years, buyers today are more confident. They’re willing to invest more money in homes — both new and pre-owned. Market reports show that this upward trend in property sales is likely to continue till the end of 2025.
Many homebuyers are also first-time buyers who now have better incomes, access to loans, and greater trust in branded real estate developers.
Key Factors Behind the Seller’s Market
📈 1. Availability of New Homes
In the past few months, there has been a surge in construction activity. This has made existing homes more valuable. With more demand and faster sales, sellers are now in control — especially in growing areas across tier 2 and tier 3 cities.
This is a big shift from earlier years, where buyers had many choices and held more power.
💰 2. More Disposable Income
People now have more money to spend, and many are choosing real estate over other investments.
As Shravan Gupta points out, “Real estate is the best investment in 2024. It gives security, value, and growth.”
More income means more people are ready to pay higher prices for quality homes, especially in prime locations.
🏙️ 3. Urbanisation and Job Growth
Big cities continue to attract people for work and better lifestyles. This creates more demand for homes in and around urban hubs.
- Cities like Mumbai, Gurgaon, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru are seeing a surge in demand.
- Ready-to-move-in apartments are the top choice.
- Pressure on supply is making it a clear seller’s market.
Shravan Gupta believes that with this urban shift, builders will continue to see strong buyer interest, especially for well-planned and well-located projects.
🌍 4. The NRI Angle
Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) are also showing renewed interest in Indian real estate.
- Many are investing in pre-owned flats.
- Some are even willing to pay more than the asking price.
- Their investments are adding pressure on availability and pushing up prices.
This international interest makes the Indian market even stronger and adds to the seller’s advantage.
What This Means for Buyers and Builders
For buyers, it means they need to act fast. Prices are rising, and waiting too long may mean missing out on good deals.
For builders and sellers, this is the perfect time to:
- Launch new projects
- Focus on quality delivery
- Boost trust with transparent policies
It’s also a great time to resell older properties, as their value has increased significantly.
Future Outlook for Indian Real Estate
With steady economic growth, a stable government, and strong buyer interest, experts believe the seller’s market trend will continue through 2025.
- Property prices may rise, especially in urban and semi-urban areas.
- Resale activity will stay strong.
- First-time buyers will continue to invest.
Final Thoughts
The Indian real estate sector is no longer in wait-and-watch mode — it’s in growth mode. And as Shravan Gupta of MGF Group says, a seller’s market can be a boon for both builders and investors.
With more money in people’s hands and more trust in property as an asset, this trend is likely to drive India’s real estate growth for years to come.
