According to the latest assessment released by Knight Frank Research, Hyderabad registered a 34% year-on-year increase in home sales during January-September 2024. However, the same period saw a sharp decline in September 2024, with home sales dropping by 22% compared to September 2023. The data shows that while 6,304 units were registered in September 2023, this number fell to 4,903 units in September 2024. Similarly, the registration value decreased from Rs. 3,459 crore in September 2023 to Rs. 2,820 crore in September 2024.
Despite the September dip, the overall trend from January to September 2024 remains positive. Knight Frank's assessment indicates that Hyderabad registered home sales worth Rs. 36,461 crore, marking a 34% year-on-year increase. The number of registrations also saw a 13% increase, totaling 59,386 units.
The decline in September is attributed to the Shradh/Pitra Paksha period, a time considered inauspicious for buying or registering homes according to the Hindu calendar. This cultural observance likely contributed to the slowdown in home sales for the month.
Another notable trend is the growing premiumization in the market. Sales of homes priced at Rs. 1 crore and above increased from 9% to 14% during the first nine months of 2024. This shift suggests a growing demand for high-end properties, which could be indicative of a shift in market preferences.
In terms of property size, the majority of registered properties in September 2024 were in the 1,000 to 2,000 square feet range, comprising 68% of all registrations. District-wise, Medchal-Malkajgiri led property registrations with 42% of the market, up from 45% in September 2023. Rangareddy and Hyderabad districts accounted for 39% and 19% of the total registrations, respectively.
Despite these encouraging trends, the September decline has raised concerns among developers and buyers. The question remains whether this is a temporary dip or the beginning of a more significant trend. Developers are cautious about launching new projects, and buyers are holding their breath, waiting to see if the market will stabilize or continue to decline.
Knight Frank's data provides a mixed picture, highlighting the resilience of the market while also pointing to potential challenges. As the year progresses, it will be crucial to monitor these trends to better understand the future of Hyderabad's real estate market.
