As per a survey by Anarcok-CII, 49 percent of the respondents in the city prefer 2BHK houses whereas, 40 percent are looking to own 3BHK houses.
Similar trends were also witnessed in Kolkata, Mumbai, and Pune where the demands for 2BHK houses are the highest.

Real estate in Hyderabad: Why do people prefer homes in peripheries?
Despite the reopening of schools and offices in Hyderabad, people still prefer to buy homes in the city peripheries.
There are two reasons behind it. People who prefer larger spaces are ready to relocate to city peripheries.
Another major reason is the hybrid model of work that is adopted by most of the companies in Hyderabad. As employees have to work from the office for only 2-3 days, people are ready to relocate to the city peripheries.
