Hyderabad Home Sales Drop 26% in Q1 2025 Amid Buyer Caution

17 Apr 2025 CW Team

Hyderabad’s residential property market witnessed a significant slowdown in the first quarter of 2025, with home sales plunging by 26 per cent. Between January and March, only 10,647 housing units were sold—down from 14,298 units during the same period last year.

In contrast, other southern metros reported positive momentum: Bengaluru registered a 13 per cent increase in sales, while Chennai experienced an 8 per cent rise, reflecting healthier demand trends in those cities.

Experts attribute Hyderabad’s slump to fluctuating interest rates, subdued buyer sentiment, and delays in launching new housing projects. However, they maintain that the city remains a promising long-term destination owing to its robust infrastructure, thriving IT sector, and ongoing urban development initiatives.

Despite the dip, market analysts remain optimistic about a recovery in the coming quarters, buoyed by economic stability and renewed housing demand. The divergence in trends also points to evolving buyer preferences and shifting regional dynamics within India’s real estate sector.
