The residential real estate market in the city and its neighbourhood has commenced 2025 on a positive note with a strong recovery and increasing buyer confidence, a report by the industry body CREDAI said. Sharp growth in registrations, steady sales of the residential units and a resilient housing market has emerged in the January-March 2025 period, the study prepared by the Confederation of Real Estate Developers' Associations of India (CREDAI), Chennai said on Sunday. Projects nearing completion or ready-to-occupy continued to be the preferred choice among buyers. The recent reduction in the repo rate by the Reserve Bank of India and the Central government's revised income tax slabs has further supported buyer sentiment, particularly among first time buyers. Sales of residential units grew 7 per cent quarter on quarter to 3,783 units during the three month period while it was 27 per cent growth year-on-year. Southern suburbs accounted for the majority of the project registrations with the demand being driven by the improved infrastructure, Metro Phase II project, among others. CREDAI Chennai President A Mohamed Ali said, "the Government's focus on inclusive urban development through schemes and new infrastructure investments in suburban corridors is enhancing liveability and making homeownership more accessible to a wider section of the population." We expect this momentum to carry through into the next quarter as well, especially with infrastructure-led locations attracting renewed investor and end-user interest" commented CREDAI Chennai Secretary Aslam Packeer Mohamed.
