Sopan Gupta, Principal Partner, Square Yards said, “Bengaluru’s residential market remains northbound, continuing its upward trajectory with double-digit sequential growth in the June quarter. Despite challenges such as flooding and water shortages, homebuyer demand remains notably resilient, underpinned by a strengthening IT sector and the blend of full-time and hybrid working models. Our data highlights that while the East and Southern suburbs retain their appeal, Northern suburbs are rapidly emerging as key areas of interest for both apartments and plots. Branded developers, particularly those delivering quality projects, are witnessing successful launches with swift offtake. Given the on-going trends, we are optimistic that the residential market will maintain its upward trajectory. Homebuyer sentiment is expected to strengthen further, driven by the much-needed infrastructure upgrades and the development of IT parks across the city. These factors are likely to attract more working professionals, reinforcing both commercial and residential demand in Bengaluru.”

Prestige Group maintained its lead in the Bengaluru residential market, recording the highest number of transactions with 255 units sold.

While northern and southern suburbs accounted for a bulk of residential transactions, key localities in East Bengaluru, such as Krishnarajapuram and Whitefield, continued to top the charts due to their proximity to commercial hubs. Despite challenges like floods and water shortages, these areas have shown resilience, maintaining steady demand. Central Bengaluru, with average home sales values surpassing Rs. 1.2 crore, remains the most expensive area in Bengaluru.
Insights from Square Yards indicate that Bengaluru is experiencing steady residential activity. The city’s real estate trends align with national patterns, with branded developers and quality projects performing well. While eastern localities continue to attract interest due to their proximity to commercial hubs, the northern suburbs are gaining prominence thanks to their strategic location and connectivity to the airport. This region, with its available land parcels, is becoming a hotspot for developers investing in both apartment and plotted projects.
Upcoming infrastructure projects, including the Peripheral Ring Road (PRR), Bengaluru-Chennai Green Corridor, metro expansion, and a recently announced five-point program, are expected to alleviate infrastructure challenges and enhance the city’s liveability. Furthermore, as the BMRDA revitalizes its development plans, 89 new IT parks are set to be established across the city attracting more working professionals. All these facts are expected to positively impact the residential market and bolster homebuyer confidence in Bengaluru.
