Housing.com Will Be Acquired by Aurum PropTech For ₹458 Cr

Aurum PropTech has announced that it will acquire Housing.com, one of India's leading online real estate platforms, in an all-equity deal valued at ₹458 crore. The acquisition will be made by purchasing 100% of Locon Solutions Pvt. Ltd., the company that owns Housing.com, from REA India, a subsidiary of Australia's REA Group. The deal is expected to create one of India's largest integrated proptech platforms by combining Housing.com's property listing business with Aurum PropTech's technology, digital transaction, rental, and property management services. Aurum said the merger is part of its strategy to build an AI-powered real estate ecosystem that offers end-to-end services for homebuyers, sellers, developers, and brokers.

As part of the transaction, REA India will receive shares in Aurum PropTech through a share-swap arrangement and will increase its stake in the company to 24.9%. The acquisition is subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals and is expected to be completed by September 2026. Industry experts believe this acquisition marks one of the biggest consolidation moves in India's proptech sector. By bringing together property discovery, financing, rentals, transactions, and digital services on a single platform, Aurum PropTech aims to strengthen its market position and improve the overall home-buying experience through advanced technology and artificial intelligence.
