Ahmedabad Emerges as India's Most Affordable Major City for Housing in 2025
According to PropTiger's Q3 2025 report, Ahmedabad is the cheapest housing market among India's big cities, with average prices at Rs 4,820 per square foot, significantly lower than Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad. While prices have risen moderately by 7.9% from the previous year, rapid price surges in major metros make Ahmedabad the most affordable option for homebuyers.
The PropTiger Real Insight Residential report for July-September 2025 highlights Ahmedabad as the most affordable major city in India for housing, with average prices at Rs 4,820 per square foot, marking a 7.9% increase year-over-year and 1.9% from the previous quarter. This contrasts sharply with other metro cities where property prices surged significantly, such as Delhi-NCR (19% increase, Rs 8,900/sq ft), Bengaluru (15% increase), and Hyderabad (13% increase). The report attributes Ahmedabad's relative affordability to restrained property launches and controlled price rises despite increased input costs and demand focused mostly on limited premium ready-to-move-in housing. Rising property prices in other metros have heightened affordability challenges for average buyers, making Ahmedabad a key market for first-time and price-sensitive buyers. Broader market trends also reflect a growing affordability crisis across major Indian cities, emphasizing the unique position Ahmedabad holds as a viable option amidst rapidly escalating real estate costs in larger urban centers.
