India

Real residential property prices, BIS index, 2009 to 2025-Q4. The index is rebased to 2010 = 100 for India alone, so its level says nothing next to another country’s. Growth and drawdown are comparable across countries; the level is not.

Real house price index, annual

Annual means of the quarterly real index. A year is plotted only if all four of its quarters are present, so a partial year is dropped rather than averaged over whatever is present.

Banking crises

The annual real index has no complete year at one or both ends of the required window for this crisis, so it cannot be measured. It is listed anyway, with the missing year named.

Limits of this page. The drawdown figures are conditional on the sample: India’s index begins in 2009, so a peak before then is invisible and the deepest drawdown is the deepest observedone. The crisis dating is Laeven-Valencia’s, not this repo’s. Nothing here is a causal claim. See the methodology for the full list.
