Residential sales in Hyderabad during July 2023 were mainly within properties sized 1,000-2,000 sq ft whereas the price range of INR 25 – 50 lakhs, accounted for the highest registrations. However, beyond the concentration of bulk transactions, homebuyers also bought plush properties, which are bigger in size and offer better facilities and amenities.

According to Samson  Arthur, Senior Branch Director, Knight Frank India, the residential market in Hyderabad continues to be upbeat, with a majority of demand for homes sized between 1000 and 2000 square feet. RBI’s decision to keep interest rates unchanged since April 2023 has also boosted buyer sentiment. The need to upgrade to spacious apartments with modern amenities has been a major driver of the Hyderabad residential market.
