Hyderabad residential property registrations dip 14% in January 2026

Residential property registrations in Hyderabad fell 14 per cent YoY in January 2026, with transaction values dropping 16 per cent. Knight Frank India attributed the decline to reduced demand for homes priced above Rs 1 crore, a segment that had previously shown strong growth.

Hyderabad: Residential property registrations in Hyderabad declined by 14 per cent year-on-year (YoY) in January 2026, while the total value of homes registered also fell by 16 per cent YoY.

According to Knight Frank India’s latest assessment, the moderation in registrations was largely driven by a decline in transactions of homes priced above Rs 1 crore, a segment that had witnessed sustained growth through 2025.

Rangareddy district, which typically accounts for the bulk of high-value residential transactions and overall registrations, saw its share decline from 41 per cent in January 2025 to 34 per cent in January 2026, with registration volumes in the district falling by 27 per cent YoY.

The Hyderabad residential market spans four districts: Hyderabad, Medchal-Malkajgiri, Rangareddy, and Sangareddy and includes transactions from both the primary and secondary real estate markets.

Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director, Knight Frank India said, “January 2026 reflected a measured moderation in Hyderabad’s residential registrations, with overall volumes declining 14 per cent year-on-year. This was largely driven by a 17 per cent drop in registrations of homes priced above Rs 1 crore, a segment that had recorded sustained premium-led growth through 2025.”

Despite this normalisation in volumes, the segment continued to command 44 per cent of the total transaction value while accounting for 15 per cent of overall registrations, highlighting the continued depth of demand for higher-value housing in the market. Established micro-markets such as Gachibowli and Kondapur continued to anchor premium housing demand in the city, Knight Frank India’s assessment
said.

Most registered properties in Hyderabad ranged between 1,000 and 2,000 sq ft, comprising 65 per cent of total registrations. Units above 2,000 sq ft comprised of 14 per cent of the transactions during 2025.
