Hyderabad’s housing market slowed sharply in 2025. Residential sales fell 23% year on year to 44,885 units. New project launches also dropped 26% to 43,260 units, according to ANAROCK, marking one of the steepest declines among major cities.
Compared to other metropolitan regions, Hyderabad recorded the biggest fall. Mumbai Metropolitan Region sold 1.28 lakh units, down 18%. Pune saw a 20% drop with 65,135 units sold. Bengaluru declined 5% with 62,205 units.
Kolkata sold 16,125 units, a fall of 12%. Chennai stood out as the only major market to grow. It recorded sales of 22,180 units, showing a 15% increase despite broader market weakness across most cities.
Overall, residential property sales across the top seven Indian cities declined 14% in 2025. Total sales stood at 3.95 lakh units, compared to 4.59 lakh units in 2024, reflecting a clear slowdown in buyer activity.
The real estate consultancy cited multiple reasons for the decline. These include rising property prices, IT layoffs, geopolitical tensions, and economic uncertainty. Despite lower volumes, total sales value rose 6% from Rs 5.68 lakh crore in 2024 to Rs 6 lakh crore in 2025.
Hyderabad, MMR, and Pune were the worst affected markets. Along with Bengaluru and NCR, these cities accounted for 90% of total residential sales across the seven cities during 2025, highlighting their continued dominance despite slower growth.
The Anarock report also noted a 2% rise in new project launches overall. Launches increased from 4.12 lakh units to 4.19 lakh units in 2025, with MMR and Bengaluru recording the highest new supply.
The report remains cautiously optimistic about recovery. RBI rate cuts and developers holding prices steady are expected to help. A favourable economic outlook and lower repo rates may reduce home loan interest, improving buyer sentiment.
