India vs Australia: Whose Real Estate Market Wins the Match?
Let's begin the match; would you like us to?
A. High-level snapshot (now—Oct 2025)
India: steady, broad-based, modest price growth with strong momentum in premium/luxury segments and faster rent inflation in specific micro-markets. RBI’s All-India HPI showed modest y/y growth in the recent series (Q4 FY2024-25).
Australia: national dwelling values have recovered and are rising again after the 2024–25 rate cycle; affordability remains a major constraint. CoreLogic / Cotality data show renewed price gains and strong rent growth / low vacancy. Also, the government enacted temporary limits on foreign purchases of established dwellings from 1 Apr 2025 (to 31 Mar 2027).
