Hyderabad’s residential real estate market found its rhythm in the second half of 2025, ending the year on a stronger footing after a muted beginning. According to Knight Frank India’s latest assessment, residential property registrations in the city rose 14% year-on-year in December 2025, while the total value of homes registered jumped 23% during the same month.
December emerged as the third-highest month for registrations in the year, reflecting renewed buyer confidence. While overall activity in 2025 was slightly lower than the previous year, the recovery towards the year-end pointed to resilient end-user demand rather than any structural slowdown.
Fewer deals, bigger ticket sizes
In calendar year 2025, Hyderabad recorded 75,222 residential property registrations, a marginal 2% decline year-on-year. However, the cumulative value of these transactions told a very different story. The total value of registered homes rose 11% to ₹52,351 crore, signalling a decisive shift towards higher-value purchases.
This divergence between volume and value underlines a broader trend shaping the city’s housing market. Buyers may be transacting less frequently, but they are opting for larger homes, better locations, and superior amenities. The market’s centre of gravity is clearly moving up the value curve.
Premium housing takes centre stage
The most striking trend in 2025 was the sustained rise in premium housing demand. Registrations of homes priced above ₹1 crore increased 35% year-on-year during the year. This segment accounted for 20% of all registered properties in 2025, up from 14% in 2024.
In value terms, premium homes contributed half of the total transaction value, compared to around 40% a year earlier. December 2025 mirrored this momentum, with registrations of homes above ₹1 crore rising 37% year-on-year. These high-value homes formed 18% of all registrations during the month but contributed a dominant 48% of the total transaction value.
Locations such as Kokapet, Kondapur, Puppalaguda, Nanakramguda, Narsingi, and Gaganpahad emerged as key premium housing clusters, driven by proximity to office hubs, infrastructure upgrades, and evolving lifestyle preferences.
Buyer preference tilts towards larger homes
Homebuyers in Hyderabad also showed a clear preference for spacious layouts. Properties sized between 1,000 and 2,000 square feet dominated registrations, accounting for nearly 68–69% of total transactions during 2025. Larger units above 2,000 square feet made up 14–16% of registrations, reinforcing the appetite for upgraded living spaces.
This trend reflects changing household dynamics, post-pandemic work-from-home flexibility, and a greater emphasis on comfort and amenities, particularly among mid- to high-income buyers.
Rangareddy and Medchal lead registrations
At the district level, registrations remained concentrated in the western and northern corridors of the city. Rangareddy district led the market, contributing 44–46% of total registrations in 2025, followed closely by Medchal–Malkajgiri at 40–41%. Hyderabad district accounted for the remaining 14–15% of registrations.
These districts continue to benefit from strong connectivity, proximity to employment centres, and steady infrastructure development. Sangareddy, while still contributing a smaller share of transactions, is emerging as an important growth node.
Prices edge higher across districts
Price trends remained firm through the year. The weighted average transacted price for residential properties in Hyderabad rose 5% year-on-year in December 2025. Among districts, Sangareddy and Rangareddy recorded the sharpest price appreciation, rising 17% and 13% respectively.
This price growth reflects increasing interest in peripheral micro-markets that offer relatively affordable entry points alongside improving commercial and residential infrastructure.
Big-ticket deals underline confidence
Beyond overall market trends, large-ticket transactions highlighted buyer confidence in premium real estate. The top five residential deals in December 2025 involved properties valued above Rs. 7 crore. Four of these transactions were recorded in Rangareddy (West), while one took place in Hyderabad (Central), underscoring the appeal of high-end developments in well-connected locations.
A value-led growth story
Summing up the year, Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director of Knight Frank India, described 2025 as a phase of consolidation marked by value-led growth rather than volume expansion. While registrations dipped marginally, the sharp rise in transaction value and premium housing demand reflected sustained confidence among buyers.
With stronger activity in the latter part of the year and rising interest in high-quality housing, Hyderabad’s residential market appears well-positioned to carry this momentum into 2026, anchored by end-user demand and an expanding premium segment.
