Where to find cheap house
Even amid the housing boom in India, the market remains calm and affordable. According to PropTiger.com’s Real Insight Residential July-September 2025 report, Ahmedabad remained India’s cheapest major housing market. The average price of houses here in the third quarter of 2025 was Rs 4,820 per square foot, which has increased by 7.9% year-on-year and 1.9% compared to the previous quarter.
The report shows that at this time an increase of 7% to 19% was recorded in property prices in eight big cities of India. The highest increase was seen in Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru and Hyderabad. While prices rose rapidly and budgets got bigger in these cities, the picture is different in Ahmedabad.
Market increased due to real demand
According to the report of PropTiger.com, this is the reason for the increase in prices across the country. These reasons apply in Ahmedabad also.
- Strong end-user demand in the premium sector.
- Increased construction costs.
- Lack of good and readily livable properties.
Prices in the city have increased continuously without any sharp fluctuations. At Rs 4,820 per sq ft, homes here are about 45% cheaper than Pune, almost half the price of Bengaluru and much lower than the Mumbai Metro Region (MMR) average of Rs 13,250 per sq ft. Still, the annual growth of 7.9% shows that the market is active.
According to developers, Ahmedabad is a buyer-dominated market where property prices are determined by local demand rather than investors or speculation. This is the reason why there is less fluctuation in prices here. While there has been a sharp growth of 13% YoY in Hyderabad and 19% in Delhi-NCR, Ahmedabad’s growth points to stable and sustainable demand.
Highest new supply in western region, Ahmedabad is also not behind
According to the report, new supply in eight major cities declined marginally by 0.1% year-on-year. A total of 91,807 new units were launched and new launches increased by 9.1% compared to the previous quarter, which is a sign of confidence from developers. There were 26.9% new launches in MMR, 18.7% in Pune and 13.6% in Hyderabad. Ahmedabad is also in a good position because it is a part of this western region. This is an area where both institutional and individual investors have been showing interest. Despite this, prices here do not rise as fast as Mumbai and Pune.
Reports suggest that new projects are now being launched as per the demand of buyers, who are mostly inclined towards premium and luxury homes. In Ahmedabad, this trend is reflected in limited premium projects and controlled new supply, with mainly local buyers looking for new good quality properties to upgrade.
Affordable housing, increasing confidence
Affordable housing in Ahmedabad is its biggest strength. According to the report, a 1,000 square feet flat is available here for around Rs 48 lakh. Whereas in Bengaluru, the same flat will be available for around Rs 89 lakh and in MMR it will cost Rs 1.32 crore. Even after taking inflation into account, the price gap between Ahmedabad and other metros has increased further. For middle-class families, this is one of the few big cities where it is possible to buy a home without taking out a huge loan. According to developers, this affordability is the basis of the city’s stable growth. The report shows that the total value of properties sold increased by 14%. But the number of sales declined by 1% to 95,547 units.
Ahmedabad is also taking benefit from this trend. Homes are getting bigger and better, but prices are still low compared to other cities. Long-term investors are seeing opportunity in stability here. Low fluctuations and projects like GIFT City, SP Ring Road and Metro extension are increasing the comfort of living. The report notes that “western and southern cities” are at the forefront of new launches and sales. Ahmedabad, though smaller in size than MMR and Pune, has the same advantageous location. With its affordability, it is attracting both local and investor demand.
