Kolkata’s housing market has been in a strong upward trajectory, with a notable boost during the festive season. According to Knight Frank India, the Kolkata Metropolitan Area (KMA) recorded a remarkable 6,196 residential property sales in August 2025, reflecting a 15% year-on-year (YoY) increase. This figure also marks a sharp 33% month-on-month (MoM) rise compared to July 2025, underscoring the heightened demand in the real estate sector.
The data, sourced from the Directorate of Registrations and Stamps Revenue, encompasses both primary (new sales) and secondary (re-sales) residential apartments, highlighting the diverse interest in the housing market. From January to August 2025, a total of 41,440 apartments were registered, representing a 37% YoY growth compared to the same period in 2024. This significant surge indicates a robust appetite among homebuyers and the overall resilience of Kolkata’s housing market.
The festive season has clearly played a pivotal role in driving this momentum, with buyers showing increased activity as the year draws to a close. The data suggests that Kolkata remains a prime destination for real estate investment, with a steady flow of demand from both local and external buyers.
As the housing market continues to show strength, it is clear that Kolkata is not only maintaining its position as a key real estate hub but is also setting new benchmarks for growth and development.
