The total value of properties registered during the month stood at Rs 3,461 crore, up 22 percent over the same month last year.

“The housing market in Hyderabad is on a significant upswing, driven by a rising demand for improved living spaces, particularly in modern complexes equipped with numerous amenities. Additionally, the RBI's (Reserve Bank of India) decision to keep interest rates steady since April 2023 has further boosted buyer confidence," said Shishir Baijal, chairman and managing director, Knight Frank India.
