Apart from these 3 locations, property demand is evenly distributed among Upparpalli (8%), Mallapur (7%), Nacharam Village (7%), Kompally (6%), and other locations such as Tellapur (5%), Rajendar Nagar (3%), Kondapur White Fields (3%) & rest all (9%).

Top Contributing Locations in Hyderabad Property Market
Let us now look at the demand in some of the top locations in Hyderabad vis a vis budget ranges.
Banjara Hills home demand is overwhelmingly (94%) for Rupees 1.5 – 2 cr homes. In Narsangi the demand is mostly distributed among budget segments of 61-70 lakh (16%), 71-80 lakh (22%), 1.01-1.5 cr (23%), 1.5-2 cr (13%), and 2-3 cr (11%).

In Mallapur, two budget segments 61-70 lakh (28%), and 71-80 lakh (57%) rule the roost.
Hyderabad Property Market has Depth and Variation
It is quite apparent from the above data that the Hyderabad property market has depth and variation. Except for locations like Banjara Hills which is predominantly posh location, most other locations offer homebuyers varied choices of homes in different budgets and configuration (2 BHK, 3 BHK,etc.).
Clearly, Hyderabad is a multi-locational market which is apparent from a balanced share of enquiries by different locations.
There is also a balanced demand for different sizes of homes in Hyderabad. 1000 sq. ft. homes to 4000+ sq. ft. homes — all have their share of demand in the Hyderabad property market.
From the above data, it is clear that the growing city of Hyderabad is witnessing a balanced growth with property demand well-spread among different locations. Focused, rapid, and large-scale infrastructural development has ensured overall growth. Growth and development are widespread and not restricted to a few pockets.
As we proceed towards unlocking more and more activities from the restrictions due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we can only hope that the demand will further grow in Hyderabad.
