In a notable shift in Hyderabad’s real estate landscape, home registrations for properties priced above Rs. 1 crore have risen by 1% year-on-year (YoY). However, the overall property registrations have dropped by 16% compared to the same period last year.

According to the latest report by Knight Frank India, February 2025 witnessed a continued trend toward premiumization, with homes valued at Rs. 1 crore and above accounting for 18% of the total property registrations. Despite this increase in high-end property sales, the overall market saw a decline, as registrations for more affordable homes have steadily decreased. Homes priced below Rs. 50 lakh—still the largest segment—experienced a 20% YoY decline in registrations.

Knight Frank India's analysis highlights the growing demand for upscale properties in Hyderabad, even as the entry-level segment faces challenges. The premium home market's expansion reflects a broader shift in buyer preferences, with increasing interest in larger and more luxurious living spaces.
