NEW DELHI: In the first half of 2026, Hyderabad saw housing sales of 19,249 units, reflecting a 1% year-on-year increase, as reported by Knight Frank India.
New launches decreased by 2% year-on-year to 20,466 units in this period. The report indicates that this slowdown is attributed to a more cautious approach from developers, amid stricter regulations, including the implementation of HYDRAA.
The average residential prices increased by 7% year-on-year to ₹8,258 per sq ft in H1 2026, compared to ₹8,200 per sq ft in 2025.
Knight Frank noted that the demand for housing in Hyderabad is largely driven by end-users, supported by employment growth in the technology, global capability centers, BFSI, and professional services sectors.
