New Hyderabad Villa projects - So close to the city

Several developers are now taking the Villa projects route to keep their business moving.  Villa projects don't have the dependencies like apartment projects of having minimum bookings to slow progress in a construction.  Whoever pays on time will get his villa delivered.  For instance, the Miyapur - Medchal road is seeing a lot of Villa developments.  The area is very close to the Cyberabad area and was seeing rampant construction activity with scores of apartments coming up but now the Villa projects are the main advertisers on the road. The same is the path taken by builders who have not had a good experience with apartment projects like Manjeera and Mantri.  A lot of builders like Raja Pushpa and Aparna are now preferring to do Villas and Apartments together to keep the momentum going in the location. 

Hyderabad rental market - New breed of renters - Intracity movers

With most of the job creation happening in Cyberabad, the commute time from Hyderabad and Secunderabad has been on the increase because of the peak hour traffic and Metro train construction work. The offices were in Banjara Hills and Begumpet belt then moved to Jubilee Hills and Madhapur and are now to Gachibowli. 

In the past 15 years, the office commute distance has increased from an average of 8-10 km to 25-35 km now.  So, a lot of housing on the Cyberabad side is seeing people, with own property in Secunderabad and Hyderabad, moving in as renters. Many have lived in the original twin cities for generations, but are now planning property purchases or renting out in Cyberabad area.

With the Metro not staring anytime soon and not exactly taking them to their office door step, many people are choosing to move to West Hyderabad - Chandanagar, Kondapur, Gachibowli, KPHB, Miyapur.

Hyderabad real estate market - No new lauches - Rents bound to go up

With Hyderabad in a freeze mode, no new launches are happening.  I guess, the builders will wait till August to understand the mood of the market.  The builders with standing inventory/ finished stock need to clear the stock. But, the supposedly more intelligent buyer also will wait out till he sees a good bargain down from current levels. So, most likely, the houses available for rent will be drastically down and the rents will start inching up at good pace. People looking for cheaper rents with the freeze mode in real estate would be disappointed. 

Lower sales mean Higher rents.
