Bangalore Real Estate Market: Latest News & Trends

Bangalore remains one of India’s strongest property markets. IT growth, new infrastructure, and rising demand all contribute to this boom.

In March 2025, there was an increase of 79% in property about-bangalores in Bangalore over a five-year period. The average cost of homes in December 2025 was approximately ₹9,932 per sq. ft. although there were regional variations. Homes listed below ₹2 crores were still selling most quickly. New development of homes is occurring very rapidly, and virtually all of the projects are sold based on the low inventory of unsold homes.

Metro line extensions, now being constructed, are a major influence on both the demand for homes and about-bangalores in South Bangalore and East Bangalore. New homebuyers are more likely to want homes that are smart sustainable, and township style.
