Aurum PropTech has acquired Housing.com in an all-equity deal valued at ₹458 crore, marking one of the biggest PropTech transactions of 2026.

A Landmark Deal Reshapes India’s PropTech Landscape
India’s PropTech industry saw a major consolidation as Aurum PropTech announced the acquisition of Housing.com in an all-equity deal valued at ₹458 crore. As part of the deal, Housing.com will become part of Aurum’s growing digital ecosystem as the company looks to build India’s first AI-native real estate operating system (OS), Business Standard, The Hindu, BusinessLine and LiveMint reported.
The acquisition, subject to shareholder, SEBI and regulatory approvals, is expected to be completed by September 2026.
More Than an Acquisition, It’s an AI Strategy
Unlike a traditional merger, the deal is focused on building an integrated digital platform that connects every stage of the property journey.
Aurum plans to combine Housing.com’s massive consumer reach with its existing PropTech solutions to create a unified platform powered by artificial intelligence, data and automation.
Key Highlights
- ₹458 crore all-equity share swap transaction.
- Aurum PropTech will issue new shares, resulting in approximately 20.5% equity dilution.
- REA India will increase its stake in Aurum PropTech from 5.54% to 24.9%, becoming a strategic shareholder, as reported by Business Standard and Zee Business.
- Housing.com brings 58 million monthly visitors and nearly 12 million active users, significantly expanding Aurum’s consumer base.
- The integrated platform will span property search, transactions, financing, rentals and property management through a single AI-powered operating layer.
A New Era for India’s Property Platforms
According to Aurum PropTech CEO Ashish Deora, the acquisition is designed to create a powerful data flywheel, where consumer demand, developer inventory and transaction intelligence continuously improve user experiences through AI.
The combined ecosystem is expected to strengthen Aurum’s position against established property portals such as 99acres, MagicBricks and NoBroker, while giving developers access to richer data, smarter marketing tools and end-to-end digital services.
For homebuyers, the vision is equally ambitious: a seamless property journey where searching, financing, buying, renting and managing homes happens on one intelligent platform instead of multiple disconnected services.
What It Means for Indian Real Estate
India’s PropTech sector is shifting from property listings to AI-powered real estate ecosystems with the acquisition of Housing.com. The next phase of growth in the industry will be driven by integrated platforms that can serve consumers, developers, brokers and financial institutions through a single interface as digital adoption accelerates.
If successful, Aurum PropTech’s AI native operating system could change the way Indians discover, transact and manage real estate for years to come.
