Hyderabad Real Estate 2025: Market Stagnation Persists but Premium Homes Surge

Hyderabad’s property market showed little prospects of growth this festive quarter as property registrations continued to record a marginal decrease over the same period last year. As per the current release of Knight Frank India, residential properties registered in January 2025 were at 5,444, in comparison with 5,454 published for January 2024. While the decline is slight, it showcases a market of cautious purchasers and relatively slow-moving sales.

Amid the stagnation, a key trend has emerged — homebuyers are increasingly flooding into premium properties. The report underlined that even though properties priced below ₹50 lakh continue to contribute to most registrations, demand for premium homes is increasing. The number of properties valued at ₹1 crore and above registered in January this year stood at 823 — an increase of 12% year-on-year from 738 properties registered in January 2024.

On the other hand, budget housing observed a marginal decline with 3,282 properties below ₹50 lakh registered in January 2025 as against 3,387 registrations during the same month last year — a fall of 3%. This move indicates that affordability is still an important factor, but there’s a tendency toward larger, nicer homes with better amenities.

When it comes to property sizes, as much as 69% of total registrants preferred homes ranging between 1,000 and 2,000 square feet. At the district level, the bulk of registrations, at 45%, were in Medchal-Malkajgiri, followed by 41% in Rangareddy and 14% in Hyderabad district.

Commenting on the findings, Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director of Knight Frank India, said, “The search for high-value homes is a continual trend with properties registering prices upwards of ₹1 crore witnessing 12% year-on-year growth in registrations. This trend reflects the increasing demand for premium living, supported by sound economic fundamentals and changing lifestyle aspirations.”

As the Hyderabad real estate market continues to show shaded zones, the premium housing segment is flying the success flag amid changing economic and lifestyle trends that are evident in buyer preferences.
