Hyderabad's real estate market is experiencing a significant rise in the availability of apartments priced over ₹2 crore (approximately $240,000 USD), primarily fueled by demand from professionals in the booming IT sector, particularly in areas like HITECH City, Gachibowli, and the Financial District. However, a recent Reddit discussion highlights growing concerns about the affordability of these homes amid inadequate infrastructure, such as proper roads and water supply. With over 20,000 such units in the pipeline, worries about the weak resale market and stagnant returns are prevalent. Many potential buyers are feeling priced out, especially as 80% of new supply consists of 3BHK or larger apartments, which exceed the budget of most homebuyers. Experts argue that while the higher Floor Space Index (FSI) allows for more extensive developments, it has also led to increased construction costs, creating a paradox for developers. As the market evolves, the sustainability of this growth remains in question, particularly regarding the infrastructure needed to support such rapid expansion.
