Residential property registrations in Hyderabad dropped 14 per cent year-on-year (YoY) in January 2026, while the total value of homes registered declined 16 per cent YoY.
According to the latest assessment by Knight Frank India, the slowdown was largely driven by a fall in transactions in the above-₹1 crore segment, which had seen sustained growth throughout 2025.
Rangareddy district; traditionally the hub for high-value residential deals and overall registrations; witnessed a notable decline.
Its share of total registrations fell from 41 per cent in January 2025 to 34 per cent in January 2026, with registration volumes in the district down 27 per cent YoY.
Hyderabad’s residential market spans four districts; Hyderabad, Medchal–Malkajgiri, Rangareddy and Sangareddy and includes transactions across both primary and secondary real estate markets.
Commenting on the trend, Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director, Knight Frank India, said January 2026 reflected a phase of measured moderation, with overall residential registrations declining 14 per cent YoY.
He noted that the slowdown was mainly due to a 17 per cent drop in registrations of homes priced above ₹1 crore, a category that had driven premium-led growth in 2025.
Despite the moderation in volumes, the premium segment continued to account for 44 per cent of the total transaction value while making up 15 per cent of overall registrations, underscoring sustained demand for higher-value homes.
Established micro-markets such as Gachibowli and Kondapur continued to anchor premium housing demand in the city.
In terms of unit sizes, most registered properties in Hyderabad ranged between 1,000 and 2,000 sq ft, accounting for 65 per cent of total registrations.
Homes larger than 2,000 sq ft comprised about 14 per cent of transactions during 2025.
