Hyderabad was the best performing residential market in terms of primary sales, among the top eight in India during 2021. However, the drop in registration activity caused by the mobility restrictions due to the third wave of COVID-19 in January this year have impacted sales across many markets in India, including Hyderabad. Yet, with affordable housing driving the  sales registration volumes ,, holding a lion’s share of 71%  in  transacted residential properties worth Rs 2695 crore, the market should regain lost ground soon. Especially considering that other market indicators such as prices continue to see steady growth despite the impact of the pandemic. 

Lion’s share of sales below Rs 50 lakhs

Compared to 75% in January 2021, 71% of residential sales registered during January 2022 have occurred for less than Rs 50 lakhs  ticket-size. This is traditionally the segment that constitutes the highest sales registrations in Hyderabad. The segment’s share has receded by 9 percentage points from 41% of total sales registrations in January 2021 to 32% in January 2022, accounting for the lower volume of sales registrations in January 2022. Within the segment, demand for less than Rs 25 lakh ticket-size remains a little low, as was seen in 2021. Nevertheless, sales registrations for all other ticket-size segments remain stable in Y-o-Y terms in January 2022. The Rs 25-50 lakh ticket size segment’s share grew the most, from 34% in January 2021 to 39% in January 2022,far exceeding its annual share of 36% in 2021 and 31% in 2020.
