It has been close to two years that 32-year old Priyanka Sen has moved to Hyderabad with her husband, Sourav. All this while, the couple — both IT industry employees — had been living in a rented 2 BHK apartment in Jeedimetla. But since Sourav’s promotion 6 months back, they have been thinking of buying an apartment closer to their offices in Gachibowli.
They were home hunting in the city’s top residential areas with good connectivity and well-developed social infrastructure. They eventually zeroed in on a 3 BHK ready-to-move flat in a new residential complex in Narsingi. Priyanka is mostly glad that she doesn’t have to drag herself through long commutes every morning. She says, “This was a great decision. Both our offices are barely 20 minutes away and I can reach anywhere in the city so easily”. “Also the social life here is brilliant,” adds Sourav.
Topping the high-liveability charts consistently, Hyderabad boasts of a bright property market driven by positive government policies, infrastructural developments, and IT industry boom. Tech giants, Fortune-500 companies, and multinational companies are increasingly choosing the Pearl City as their base while the startup activity here is witnessing a sustained growth rate. No wonder, the city is one of the most preferred real estate destinations in the country at this point. Overall, Hyderabad’s property market has turned into a magnet for end-buyers and investors.
Just like Sourav and Priyanka, more and more homebuyers are stepping into the property market with the aim of finding a home that caters to their needs, lifestyles, and budgets. That said, let us highlight some latest buying trends and patterns in the market by putting our reports and data-backed observations into perspective.
Top Hyderabad Property Market Trends
Demand for premium, high-value property increasing – Compared to most Indian cities, and even metros, Hyderabad property market trends towards upper and upper mid-level projects. The demands are higher in the premium segment compared to the mid-range or affordable segment.
According to our data for the six month period from January to June 2019, out of the total buyer enquiries in Hyderabad, properties within 1.51-2 Cr price bracket attracted the highest percentage of enquiries (27.72%). Second in demand are projects that fall within the price range of 1.01-1.5 Cr (16.64%), while projects under 91 Lacs-1 Cr price range are the third most enquired category at 11.71%.
3 BHK homes experience the maximum demand – If we look at the BHK-wise demand, the 3 BHK category has received the maximum amount of attention from buyers, with a total percentage of enquires at 46.46%. While 2 BHK comes second with 42.65% of enquiries, 4 BHK is the third in demand with 10.83% of enquiries.
People are looking for bigger homes – Quite contrary to the concept of downsized urban living, Hyderabad’s home buyers are interested in spacious properties. In fact, this Tier-I city has surpassed major metropolises in its demand for bigger homes. Our data for area-wise demand shows that, out of the total buyer enquiries in Hyderabad, properties of 2300 sq. ft. and above attracted the highest percentage of enquiries (28.44%).
While properties within 900-1500 sq. ft. accounted for a combined percentage of 32.71% of enquiries, 700-900 sq. ft. properties generated the least interest with 5.10% percentage of enquiries. The data reflects the trend of high demand for independent villas and bungalows compared to small apartments.
Top property pockets –In our findings, western Hyderabad occupies the highest interest among buyers. Narsingi, Kondapur, and Kismatpur emerged as the top three locations that attracted a combined buyer enquiry of 44.42%. The south-western suburb of Narsingi witnessed 18.39% of enquiries, while the percentage of enquiries for Kondapur and Kismatpur were found to be 13.83% and 12.20% respectively. Driven by the expansion of commercial markets and IT hubs, residential development has gone up radically in these locations along ORR.
Other locations that attracted some interest include Tellapur, Financial District, Mokila, Kukatpally, and Narapally. Increasing job opportunities in IT, banking, insurance, and other financial services continue to be the main attraction of these micro markets.
