Hyderabad Leads South India Luxury Housing with Rs 8,562 Cr Sales In FY26

Real-State
Hyderabad has emerged as the leading ultra-luxury residential market in South India, recording transactions worth Rs 8,562 crore for homes priced above Rs 10 crore in FY26, according to a report by India Sotheby's International Realty and CRE Matrix.

The city has seen a sharp rise in high-end housing demand, with the segment expanding significantly over the past four years. Large-format residences dominate the market, with a major share of sales coming from homes exceeding 8,000 sq ft, along with strong demand for villas and row houses.

In comparison, Bengaluru recorded Rs 1,957 crore in luxury housing sales but emerged as the fastest-growing market, while Chennai remained a niche segment with Rs 727 crore in transactions.

The report also highlights Hyderabad’s advantage in offering larger living spaces for similar investment values, reinforcing its position as a preferred destination for ultra-luxury homebuyers in South India.

Ashwin Chadha, CEO, India Sotheby’s International Realty, said, “The story of South India’s luxury housing is a story of three distinct identities. Hyderabad has the scale, building an entire luxury ecosystem in corridors like Kokapet. Bengaluru has the velocity, with new corridors emerging at speed. Chennai remains anchored in legacy prestige. We believe Bengaluru is the market to watch for immediate growth, while Hyderabad has set a new benchmark for ultra-luxury volume in southern India.”

Abhishek Kiran Gupta, Co-founder & CEO, CRE Matrix, added, “South India’s luxury market has reached a pivotal inflection point. Hyderabad’s leadership is backed by structural fundamentals—space-value and sustained demand for large floor plates. Bengaluru’s transformation proves that premium living is no longer confined to heritage addresses. For investors, the signal is clear: differentiate strategies by city, not just by segment.”
