Hyderabad witnessed a substantial surge in property registrations during the month of August 2023, with a notable 15 percent year-on-year growth, according to a report released by property consultancy Knight Frank. This surge was further emphasized by a 17 percent month-on-month increase.
The total valuation of properties registered in the city for the month reached an impressive Rs 3,461 crore, reflecting a substantial 22 percent rise compared to the same period in the previous year.
Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director of Knight Frank India, attributed this remarkable growth to several factors. “The housing market in Hyderabad is experiencing significant momentum, driven primarily by the escalating demand for enhanced living spaces, especially within modern complexes boasting a plethora of amenities. Furthermore, the Reserve Bank of India’s decision to maintain stable interest rates since April 2023 has contributed significantly to bolstering buyer confidence,” stated Baijal.
