Price growth in the Hyderabad market has been strong in recent times. With higher value property being sold in October 2022; the weighted average price has shown an uptrend in all micro-markets of Hyderabad. Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director, Knight Frank India, said: “The rise in home loan interest rate in the last three quarters along with strong headwinds caused by the global geo-political tensions has started affecting the consumers. “The Hyderabad market is also impacted, though it continues to remain appealing for end users with demand for larger homes remaining promising. “The city, which saw a significant rise in demand until mid of 2022, has seen a drop in registration in October 2022. While the lower ticket segment is affected, we expect that the higher value homes will continue to see momentum in the coming months keeping the outlook for the city optimistic.”
