After the political feat in 2014 which saw the separation of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad has had an exponentially growing real estate market in and around the city. Before Covid-19 created havoc in every nook and corner of the world, Hyderabad had retained its top position in Mercer's Quality of Living Survey in 2019 for the fifth time in a row. The city's better planning and scores in parameters of cleanliness and low pollution levels have been an instrumental aspect of this growth. Although, the pandemic didn't spare the market, causing a free fall over the last several months.

But the local real estate markets in India are a sure bet to make a strong comeback. According to Housing.com,
Bengaluru and Hyderabad are expected to lead India's residential real estate recovery in 2022 at a time when home purchases have picked up pace in the wake of record low home loan interest rates in the last 15 years and record low affordability driven by stable real estate prices. If the index is anything to go by, larger homes are going to be the preferred option among home buyers in 2022 the reasons range from companies continuing to offer remote working policies amid Omicron variant threats. Housing.com's research report further reveals that the search queries for apartments with 3+BHK configuration grew by 15 percent year-on-year in 2021.

On the other hand, according to Cushman & Wakefield's Asia Pacific commercial real estate outlook for 2022, India's office real estate markets, led by techcities such as Bengaluru and Hyderabad are anticipated to attract heightened demand in 2022 as the country leads the Asia Pacific regional growth. Hyderabad being one of the fastest growing techhubs in the country, the real estate companies would want to keep a tab on these changing trends. In this issue, we unfold the stories of a bunch of promising leaders in the city's real estate market who expected to grab these opportunities with both hands.
