Hyderabad’s Real Estate Market Sees a 16% Decline in Property Registrations

The Hyderabad real estate market, a dynamic landscape of ever-evolving trends, witnessed a notable dip in property registrations in February 2025. With 5,900 units registered, the city saw a 16% decline compared to the 7,135 properties recorded in the same period last year. According to the Telangana Registration and Stamps Department, analyzed by Knight Frank India, the total value of registered properties stood at ₹3,925 crore—marking a 10% drop from ₹4,362 crore in February 2024.

Signs of Recovery Amidst the Decline

While the annual comparison reflects a slowdown, a silver lining emerges in the form of month-on-month (MoM) growth. Registrations surged by 10% MoM, while the total value of registered properties climbed by 13% MoM. This upward trajectory hints at renewed buyer confidence and market stabilization.

Shifting Buyer Preferences

The market dynamics reveal a shift in homebuyer priorities. Properties priced between ₹50 lakh and ₹1 crore saw a 15% dip in February, with only 1,561 units registered. However, luxury homes valued at ₹1 crore and above defied the overall decline, witnessing a 1% year-on-year (YoY) increase to 1,053 units. These high-end properties accounted for 18% of total registrations, signaling a growing inclination toward premium real estate.

Property Sizes and Buyer Choices

When it comes to home sizes, the majority of registrations—67%—were for units ranging between 1,000 and 2,000 sq ft. Meanwhile, the demand for spacious residences saw an uptick, with properties exceeding 2,000 sq ft comprising 17% of total registrations, compared to 13% in February 2024.

District-Wise Trends

A closer look at property registrations across districts showcases Rangareddy leading with a 44% share, followed by Medchal-Malkajgiri at 41%. Hyderabad district contributed the remaining 15%, reflecting the distribution of real estate activity across the region.

High-Value Transactions Make a Mark

Beyond the mainstream market trends, the luxury segment witnessed remarkable transactions. The top five property deals in February 2025 featured homes exceeding 3,000 sq ft, with values surpassing ₹6 crore. Notably, four of these high-value transactions occurred in Central Hyderabad, while one was recorded in Western Hyderabad.

Despite the annual downturn, the resilience of Hyderabad’s real estate market, especially in the premium and spacious property segments, indicates a gradual recovery. With shifting buyer preferences and increasing demand for larger and high-end homes, the market is poised for an interesting trajectory in the coming months.
