Hyderabad Sees Rise in Premium Home Sales Amid Market Decline

Hyderabad’s real estate market has witnessed a 1% increase in registrations for properties priced above Rs 1 billion, even as overall property registrations fell 16% year-on-year (YoY) in February 2025, according to a Knight Frank India report. 

The trend toward premiumisation continued, with high-end homes accounting for 18% of total registrations. However, registrations for affordable homes (below Rs 5 million) declined by 20% YoY, highlighting a shift in buyer preferences toward larger and more luxurious properties. 

In February 2025, homes sized 1,000–2,000 sq. ft. remained the most popular, making up 67% of registrations, while homes exceeding 2,000 sq. ft. increased to 17%, up from 13% in February 2024. 

Despite the overall decline, Hyderabad saw a 13% month-on-month (MoM) rise in revenue, with over 5,900 property registrations recorded in February 2025.
