Kolkata’s residential property market continued its strong run in 2025, with the city recording a 32% year-on-year rise in home registrations during the first nine months of the year, according to real estate consultancy Knight Frank India.

A total of 46,742 apartments were registered in the Kolkata Metropolitan Area (KMA) between January and September 2025 — the highest nine-month figure since 2020. The growth reflects sustained buyer confidence and rising housing demand across both primary (fresh sales) and secondary (resale) markets.

September 2025 saw a 6% year-on-year (YoY) growth property registrations. The data encompasses transactions in both primary (fresh sale) and secondary (re-sale) markets for residential apartments during this period.

The share of apartments sized between 500–1,000 sq ft remained at the top position in September 2025, accounting for 53% of all transactions, showing an improvement compared to 43% in September 2024. However, the share of over 1,000 sq ft segment rose to 14% in September 2025, showing a marked increase from 5% in September 2024.

Shishir Baijal, Chairman & Managing Director, Knight Frank India, stated, “Kolkata’s residential market continued the momentum with 32% YoY growth in property registrations during the first nine months of 2025, indicating steady buyer confidence. The rise in activity across key zones and the continued preference for quality homes underscore the city’s resilience. With ongoing infrastructure developments and stable demand, the market is well-positioned for sustained momentum in the coming months.”

In September 2025, the South Zone continued its momentum with an impressive 38% share of Kolkata’s total apartment registrations. Behala, Jadavpur, Kasba, Sonarpur and Thakurpukur witnessed large volumes in terms of number of registrations within this zone. With many peripheral locations catering to affordable and mid-segment products, this zone’s share remained the highest among all the micro markets. The North Zone’s closely followed with a share of 34% in September 2025, maintaining the second rank in the city.
