“Bengaluru’s residential market continues to display steady growth as registered transactions maintain upward momentum both sequentially and annually,” Square Yards said in a statement.
Sopan Gupta, principal partner at 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,” Gupta added.
According to the Square Yards data, the upward momentum in Bengaluru’s residential market is driven by shift towards premium properties leading to an increase in the average registered sales value, reaching Rs 0.69 crore — a 9 per cent rise compared to the previous quarter.
