Hyderabad has emerged as the leading market for ultra-luxury housing in South India, recording sales worth INR 8,562 crore in FY26 for homes priced above INR 10 crore. The city saw 625 transactions, significantly higher than Bengaluru and Chennai. Demand has been driven by larger home sizes, better value at similar price points, and steady infrastructure growth. Key locations such as Kokapet led activity. The report also shows a strong shift towards spacious, high-value homes, with Hyderabad witnessing consistent growth in this segment over the past few years.
Hyderabad has recorded the highest ultra-luxury housing sales in South India, with transactions worth INR 8,562 crore for homes priced above INR 10 crore during FY26. The figures are based on a joint report by India Sotheby’s International Realty and CRE Matrix, which analysed premium residential activity across major southern cities.
The city registered 625 high-end housing transactions, placing it well ahead of other markets in both value and volume. Bengaluru followed with sales worth INR 1,957 crore from 128 units, while Chennai recorded INR 727 crore from 58 units, indicating a much smaller presence in this segment.
A key factor supporting Hyderabad’s growth is the larger space offered at similar price levels. For a home priced at INR 10 crore, buyers in the city typically get around 6,210 sq ft, which is about 60 percent higher than Bengaluru and notably more than Chennai. This value advantage has played a major role in attracting high-net-worth buyers.
The report highlighted that the city’s ultra-luxury housing market has expanded significantly over the past few years. Total sales have increased nearly 3.5 times from around INR 2,447 crore four years ago to the current level. This growth reflects a steady rise in demand for larger, premium homes, especially after the pandemic period when buyers began prioritising space and privacy.
Large-format homes continue to dominate the segment, with a considerable share of transactions involving properties exceeding 8,000 sq ft. Apartments account for a major portion of sales, particularly in the high-rise luxury category, while villas and row houses contribute close to 40 percent of the total transaction value, showing balanced demand across formats.
Among micro-markets, Kokapet emerged as the top contributor with sales of around INR 1,298 crore. The area has seen increased developer activity due to improving infrastructure, planned developments, and proximity to key business districts. Other emerging locations in the western corridor have also supported overall growth in the luxury segment.
The report further indicated that each southern city is following a different growth pattern. Hyderabad is building scale through larger projects and higher transaction volumes. Bengaluru is expanding gradually with rising interest in premium developments, while Chennai continues to see demand concentrated in established high-end localities.
Hyderabad’s residential market has also remained relatively stable compared to some other major cities, where fluctuations have been more visible. Consistent demand from business owners, senior professionals, and investors has supported steady absorption in the premium segment.
