Hyderabad: Hyderabadās residential real estate market registered property transactions worth over Rs 4,000 crore in May 2025, marking a strong rebound in market activity.
According to the latest report by Knight Frank India, the city witnessed a 2 per cent year-on-year (YoY) and 5 per cent month-on-month (MoM) rise in registrations, the first such increase recorded this year.
Surge in premium housing demand
The rise in transaction value was driven largely by a surge in premium housing demand. Homes priced above Rs 1 crore saw a 37 per cent jump in sales volume YoY, increasing their share in total registrations from 14 per cent in May 2024 to 19 per cent in May 2025.
Despite accounting for a smaller portion of overall sales, this segment contributed to 49 per cent of the total transaction value, highlighting the growing appetite for luxury homes in Hyderabad.
Affordable, mid-segment sales decline
In contrast, registrations of homes priced below Rs 50 lakh and those in the Rs 50 lakh to Rs 1 crore range saw a decline in volume. Nevertheless, they continued to dominate the market in terms of numbers, making up 55 per cent and 26 per cent of all registrations, respectively.
Preferences shift to larger homes
The report also noted a preference for mid-sized and large units: 67 per cent of homes registered were sized between 1,000 to 2,000 sq ft and homes above 2,000 sq ft increased their share to 18 per cent, up from 16 per cent a year ago.
District-wise insights
The residential registration data, which includes both primary and secondary sales, spans four districts: Ranga Reddy led with 48 per cent of total registrations, followed by Medchal-Malkajgiri with 37 per cent, and Hyderabad district with 15 per cent.
Market recovery in sight
Commenting on the findings, Shishir Baijal, chairman and managing director of Knight Frank India, said, āHyderabadās residential market showed encouraging signs of revival in May 2025, marking the first rise in home registrations this year. The growing interest in high-value properties also signals increased confidence among homebuyers.ā
With transaction values rising and luxury housing demand picking up pace, Hyderabadās real estate market appears poised for a stronger performance in the months ahead, he added.
