Unsold residential property stocks go up sharply in Hyderabad

Hyderabad has now won the dubious distinction of being the only city among major metros of the country, to have its unsold property stocks go up sharply

Hyderabad: Once sold like hot cakes, residential properties of Hyderabad appear to have gone out of favor with property seekers these days.

And the once most sought after property destination, Hyderabad has now won the dubious distinction of being the only city among major metros of the country, to have its unsold property stocks go up sharply.

Across the country, the latest Anarock research highlights a promising trend of unsold inventory in the affordable housing segment (< Rs. 40 lakh) falling by 19 per cent across top seven cities in the past year, from 1.40 lakh units (Q1 2024-end) to 1.13 lakh units (Q1 2025-end).

While all these cities, led by Bengaluru with a 51 per cent drop, had shown marked recovery, Anarock report says, “Hyderabad was the only city to see its unsold affordable stock jump by 9 per cent, while its luxury stock increased by 6 percent.”

City-wise, Bengaluru led the affordable category recovery with a sharp 51 per cent drop in unsold stock, followed by Chennai’s 44 per cent decline. Hyderabad was the only city to witness a 9 per cent surge in its affordable housing stock in the period – to approximately 1,815 units by Q1 2025-end, the report documents.

In the luxury segment, among the top seven cities, Chennai and Pune were the only cities to see their unsold luxury stock decline in the period, by 4 per cent and 11 per cent, respectively. While Chennai’s current unsold luxury stock is at 2,453 units, Pune’s is at 3,668 units. However, NCR, MMR, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Bengaluru also saw their unsold luxury stock rise, it said.

Anuj Puri, Chairman, Anarock Group says, “Affordable housing faced the sharpest pandemic fallout, with sales and new launches shrinking in the top seven cities. Our data shows that affordable housing sales share plummeted from 38 per cent in 2019 to 18 per cent in 2024, while its supply share dropped from 40 per cent to 16 per cent in the same period. However, a 19 per cent dip in unsold stock hints at sustained demand led by end-users.”
