Hyderabad’s housing market is basking in a festive glow. October 2025 brought not just brighter lights and celebrations across the city, but also a surge in property sales that reaffirmed its growing reputation as one of India’s most aspirational housing markets.
According to the latest report by Knight Frank India, 6,194 residential properties worth Rs. 4,512 crore were registered in Hyderabad in October, a 5% rise in registrations and an impressive 25% jump in total transaction value compared to the same month last year. But the real story lies in what’s driving these numbers: the city’s growing appetite for luxury homes.
The demand for homes priced above Rs. 1 crore skyrocketed by 73% year-on-year in October, accounting for nearly a quarter of all residential registrations. In value terms, this segment dominated more than half of the city’s total housing transaction value. The figures reflect not just a strong festive buying sentiment but also a decisive shift toward premium, larger homes, a pattern that’s been taking deeper root in Hyderabad over the past few years.
Between January and October 2025, Hyderabad recorded 61,699 home registrations, slightly lower than last year’s 65,280. However, the overall value of these registered properties climbed to Rs. 43,048 crore, up by a remarkable 25% year-on-year. Simply put, fewer homes changed hands, but they were worth significantly more. The weighted average price of homes registered this year is 14% higher than in 2024, a clear sign that Hyderabad’s market is not just growing but evolving.
The Rise of the Premium Homebuyer
So, what’s behind this trend? Several factors seem to be at play. Hyderabad’s expanding IT corridors, robust infrastructure, and relatively affordable luxury compared to metros like Mumbai or Bengaluru are drawing in both end-users and investors. Homebuyers are increasingly seeking larger spaces, properties with 2,000 square feet or more made up 16% of October’s registrations, up from 14% a year ago.
At the same time, 68% of registered homes fell in the mid-sized bracket of 1,000 to 2,000 sq. ft, showing a steady base of aspirational buyers upgrading their lifestyles. From sleek high-rises in Gachibowli to villas in Kokapet and gated communities around Kondapur, the city’s skyline mirrors the aspirations of a middle and upper-middle class that’s growing in both size and purchasing power.
Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director of Knight Frank India, attributes the city’s resilience to its evolving buyer profile. “Hyderabad’s residential market continues to reflect strong festive momentum, with home registrations up by 5% and the total value of registered properties rising by 25% YoY in October 2025. The sharp 73% surge in homes priced above Rs. 1 crore reflects the city’s growing shift toward larger, high-value residences,” he said, noting that this sustained demand highlights Hyderabad’s emergence as a premium housing hub defined by “resilient buyer sentiment and a clear preference for quality living.”
District Dynamics
The city’s housing pulse is not evenly spread, however. Rangareddy district, encompassing rapidly developing zones like Narsingi, Manikonda, and Puppalaguda accounted for nearly half (47%) of all registrations in October. It also recorded the sharpest price rise among districts, with a 22% jump in average transaction value compared to last year. Medchal-Malkajgiri followed with 39% of registrations, while Hyderabad district itself contributed the remaining 14%.
Rangareddy’s growing dominance is hardly surprising. Its mix of residential and commercial development, proximity to tech parks, and improving connectivity have turned it into the city’s real estate powerhouse. Notably, three of Hyderabad’s five most expensive home deals in October, each valued above Rs. 10 crore were recorded in central Hyderabad, with the other two in western Rangareddy.
A Market Built on Confidence
Despite broader economic uncertainties, Hyderabad’s housing market seems to be thriving on confidence. Developers continue to invest in projects catering to higher-income groups, while buyers appear undeterred by rising prices. The city’s reputation for well-planned layouts, reliable civic infrastructure, and relatively lower property taxes compared to other metros also adds to its appeal.
More than anything, the data captures a shift in the city’s self-image. Once known for its steady, middle-class housing market, Hyderabad is now defining a new standard for urban living in India, one where quality, space, and lifestyle are as much a part of the equation as affordability.
As the festive season winds down, the sentiment remains buoyant. The numbers from Knight Frank India suggest that Hyderabad’s homebuyers aren’t just chasing property ownership; they’re investing in a vision of modern living. And as premium towers continue to rise along the city’s horizon, that vision is quickly becoming reality.
