Real estate trend in Hyderabad

Over the last few years the real estate in Hyderabad has been witnessing a drastic change due to various factors. Unlike other states the real estate market in Hyderabad has been influenced by surprising factors like political uncertainty.These factors have caused a stagnation of the overall market.

The city is basically known as the City of Pearls and is termed as the fifth largest metropolis of India. The current scenario of the real estate market in Hyderabad is that there are many investors eyeing the city for better investments. Despite all the odds the city is moving forward in good deal of activities. The Hyderabad real estate has rapidly changed over the past few years and there is an increase in the commercial property demand from the IT companies. The entry of global players like Microsoft, Oracle, Bann Info, Satyam Computers, and many others have resulted in an increased property demand. The property rates in Hyderabad have soared rapidly.

However, the Residential property buyer sentiments have improved in Hyderabad over the last few years. There has been a demand in the residential property absorption. Also there is an active participation of most of the developers in Hyderabad which is resulting in the production of suitable land parcels. Also various realtors are coming up with different projects in the city. It is predicted that there will be an increase of the PE investments on residential property projects this year. Comparatively, the institutional capital flows were too slow in the city when compared to other cities. The reasons being;

• High valuations.
• The global financial crisis
• The state-level political scenario.

Currently, the real estate valuations in the city are once again developing and the developers along with the end users are all back in action. However, a strong feeling spreads among people that the political scenario will take a turn by favouring the PE investments in the coming years. Apparently, there are signs of residential property being in outstrip demand. The city also witnesses a supply-demand mismatch and a high unsold inventory which creates a greater impact on the residential property. Also there will be a selective price rise for various projects which are in high demand location with extra amenities.
