Notably, there has been a significant increase in the share of sales registrations for properties priced at Rs 1 crore and above, rising to 13% in July 2024 from 9% in the same period last year. This indicates a discernible shift in homebuyer preferences towards higher-value homes, as evidenced by a sharp 94% year-on-year increase in the registrations of properties priced over Rs 1 crore during July 2024.

Conversely, demand for larger properties (over 2,000 sq ft) increased with registrations rising to 14% from 11in the same period.
Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director, Knight Frank India said, “The residential market in Hyderabad is experiencing a notable shift towards luxury homes with spacious layouts and enhanced amenities. This trend is part of a broader shift across India towards the premiumization of housing as is evident in case of Hyderabad where homes costing Rs 1 crore saw a rise of 129% y-o-y. Since the onset of the pandemic, property prices have been on a steady rise, a trend continuing through July 2024. Supported by robust economic growth and favorable interest rates, buyer confidence has surged. Hyderabad is spearheading this shift, with developers rapidly adapting to market changes and tailoring their offerings to meet the evolving demands of buyers.”
At a district-level, Rangareddy emerged as the leading contributor to registrations in July 2024, capturing 41% of the market, a sharp increase as compared to the 37% recorded in July 2023. Medchal-Malkajgiri and Hyderabad district accounted for 40% and 19% of the total registrations respectively.

Further, three of the top five were in West Hyderabad while the Banjara Hills transactions were in Central Hyderabad.
