In September 2026, residential property registrations in Hyderabad plummeted 15% year-on-year (YoY) to 5,620, while registered sales decreased by 7% to ₹4,487 crore, according to Telangana government data compiled by Knight Frank India.

In September 2025, 6,612 properties were registered, valued at ₹4,804 crore. On a month-to-month (MoM) basis, property registrations in September 2026 declined by 5% to 5,620 from 5,937 in August 2026. The value of registered properties decreased by 2% to ₹4,487 crore from ₹4,804 crore.

The Hyderabad residential market comprises four districts: Hyderabad, Medchal-Malkajgiri, Rangareddy, and Sangareddy, and includes transactions from both the primary and secondary real estate markets.

According to Knight Frank, monthly registration activity has continued to fluctuate following the volatility surrounding the guidance-value revision. Compared to January to September 2026, property registrations were steady at 55,715 units. However, the value of recorded transactions grew by 4% YoY to ₹39,910 crore.

“Hyderabad’s residential market maintained constant registration volumes from January to September 2026, but the value of registered deals climbed 4% year on year. According to Shishir Baijal, International Partner, Chairman and Managing Director of Knight Frank India, monthly activity in September 2026 is uneven, with registrations down 15% year-on-year and transaction values down 7%.Despite the monthly decline, residences valued above ₹1 crore accounted for 56% of September’s sale value, compared to 54% the previous year. This demonstrates the increased contribution of higher-ticket housing to the total value of registered transactions, even while registration quantities remain low,” Baijal stated.

Home Price and Size Trends

From January to September 2026, property registrations remained essentially steady across ticket sizes. Registrations for residences priced below ₹50 lakh and between ₹50 lakh-₹1 crore remained stable year on year, while registrations for homes above ₹1 crore climbed by 2%. According to Knight Frank India, the value of properties in the below-₹50 lakh segment increased by 2%, the ₹50 lakh-₹1 crore segment stayed stable, and the luxury segment had 6% rise.

In September 2026, registrations for all ticket sizes decreased. Registrations for properties priced below ₹50 lakh fell 20% year on year, while those priced above ₹1 crore fell 12% and those priced between ₹50 lakh and ₹1 crore fell 6%. Transaction values decreased in all three sectors, with the premium category experiencing a 2% decrease compared to 15% in the below-₹50 lakh segment and 8% in the ₹50 lakh-₹1 crore segment, according to data.

According to Knight Frank data, residences between 1,000 and 2,000 square feet accounted for the majority of registrations (66%) in September 2026. Units larger than 2,000 square feet accounted for 18% of the transactions in September 2026.

Maharashtra intends to build its fifth Film City on 125 acres in Guhagar taluka of Ratnagiri district, in the Konkan region. Located approximately seven hours from Mumbai, the proposed project intends to address infrastructure deficiencies for film shooting along the Konkan coast while also creating job possibilities in the region.

The project is being overseen by Maharashtra Cultural Affairs Minister Ashish Shelar, while the tourism and cultural affairs departments are creating a full project study. According to a Namaste Forum story, the facility will most likely be built using a public-private partnership (PPP) format that includes private entertainment sector participants.

What is a Film City?

A Film City is a dedicated complex that houses studios, sets, production equipment, and supporting infrastructure for producing films, television shows, and other audiovisual content. It may also accommodate workers and outdoor shooting sites. By combining these amenities, a Film City can alleviate logistical issues while also supporting the entertainment sector.

How many film cities are there in Maharashtra now?

Currently, Maharashtra has one Film City in Mumbai’s Goregaon, with one proposed in Nashik and Nagpur, as well as a second Film City in Malad spanning 150 acres and a fifth proposed in the Konkan region.

What is the required investment for the fifth Film City?

The proposed Film City will take up property in the villages of Palshet, Velneshwar, and Tavsal, which are now controlled by the Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation. The government plans to invest roughly ₹100 crore in the project, which will feature two or three studios, film crew accommodations, and filming venues for films and TV shows. The project’s goal is to provide production facilities in a coastal region that is popular among filmmakers but lacks the necessary infrastructure and logistical support for productions.

According to the Sources, the Maharashtra Film, Stage, and Cultural Development Corporation Limited stated that Dapoli and Guhagar were popular locations for television and film shooting due to its beautiful beauty and coastline. However, the location lacks suitable facilities for production teams.

According to the newspaper, former BJP MLA Vinay Natu, who represents the Guhagar region, proposed the project after learning about the problems that film crews face while visiting the area. Marathi films like Kaksparsh and Bapya, as well as television serials, were filmed in Dapoli and Guhagar. Natu explained that the region lacked amenities similar to Film City and studios in Mumbai and Karjat, making production logistics challenging.
