The real estate market in December 2025 is showing mixed yet promising signals across India, with commercial leasing setting records and residential activity remaining resilient. In Hyderabad and Telangana, local market data reflects both demand shifts and regulatory developments that buyers and investors should watch.
🇮🇳 India Real Estate Overview (Dec 2025)
Record Growth in Office Leasing
India’s office real estate market delivered one of its strongest performances in 2025, with flexible workspaces playing a major role in driving leasing activity even as global markets experienced headwinds. Leasing is projected to reach well above 80 million square feet by year-end, with flex spaces accounting for nearly 20 % of total occupancy. This reflects ongoing demand from Global Capability Centres (GCCs) and domestic companies. The Economic Times
