Capitalising on positive home buyer sentiment post the COVID-19 pandemic, the city of Hyderabad continues to show good growth in the housing real estate sector, with sales surpassing 2011 figures, regardless of higher interest and bank repo rates. The trend in set to continue into the current year. The rise in sales can also be attributed to the increase in new supply across the city.

The Hyderabad housing market continues to see strong buying and selling activity in 2022, with residential sales up 28% year-on-year (YoY). A total of 31,046 units were sold in the city for the whole year, the highest number of sales recorded in the city since 2011. The number of new launches in Hyderabad also increased significantly, at a rate 23% over the same period last year.

From a semi-annual perspective, office transactions in Hyderabad fell 20% year-on-year in the second half of 2022, with a total of 3.5 million square feet of leasable space.
