Hyderabad’s real estate market is quietly reflecting broader economic changes. While the city continues to attract professionals due to jobs and infrastructure, buyer preferences are clearly evolving.
According to recent data from Knight Frank, home registrations in 2025 dipped by 2 percent to 75,222 units. However, the total transaction value rose 11 percent to ₹52,351 crore.
The decline is largely due to a sharp 9 percent fall in affordable housing registrations below ₹50 lakh. Rising property prices and higher interest rates appear to be making it difficult for first-time buyers.
In contrast, luxury housing has seen strong momentum. Registrations for homes priced above ₹1 crore surged 35 percent, with the top 20 percent of premium homes now contributing nearly 50 percent of total market value.
High-end localities such as Kokapet, Kondapur, Puppalaguda, Nanakramguda, Narsingi, and Gaganpahad recorded robust demand in the luxury segment.
Monthly trends further highlight this premium shift. December 2025 saw a 14 percent year-on-year rise in registrations, driven by a 37 percent jump in luxury home sales, which accounted for 48 percent of transaction value.
The monthly volume of registrations remained steady through the year, ranging from 1,486 units in January to 1,508 units in December. Most buyers preferred homes sized between 1,000 and 2,000 square feet.
This pattern indicates a growing focus on quality rather than quantity. Affluent buyers are prioritising better amenities, prime locations, and long-term value.
However, the trend also raises concerns about housing affordability in a fast-growing technology hub. With premium demand dominating, affordable housing supply may need policy support.
For now, Hyderabad stands as a clear example of India’s maturing real estate market, where value increasingly outweighs volume.
