In a year marked by slowdown in residential real estate activity across India, Bengaluru’s housing market showed strong momentum in 2025. The city has displayed a robust end-use demand, primarily driven by its job creation potential owing to the large presence of domestic and global IT and start-up companies, improving infrastructure and housing affordability measured by a relatively better price to income ratio which has remained stable over the years as compared to other cities.
According to a report by property consultancy firm PropTiger, the average price of homes rose by 12% in 2024 and by 13% in 2025 to Rs 8533 per sq. ft. In fact, between Q1 and Q4 in 2025, housing prices rose by 21%.
Unlike earlier cycles that were more investor-led, today’s market is far more stable, with families prioritising long-term housing.
Despite the average housing price growth in India’s top cities declining from 17% in 2024 to 6% in 2025, Bengaluru recorded two consecutive years of double-digit growth, according to the report.
The city scores high on other parameters like the number of companies formed, skilled professionals with a high base salary, passport holders, car registrations, AQI etc. To add to this, it is the first choice for GCCs, AI companies & start-ups, resulting in increased demand for office space with Bengaluru alone accounting for nearly one third of total absorption and supply. This has created high-paying jobs that have had a positive impact on the city’s housing market.
Navin Dhanuka, director of ArisUnitern, said, “We are seeing growing traction for plotted developments and well-planned residential communities, as buyers increasingly prioritise long-term value, quality of living, and organised development. Given these fundamentals, Bengaluru is likely to remain one of the most resilient and consistently performing residential markets in the country.”
Two factors have aided the city’s housing growth. The post-pandemic pent-up demand coinciding with the return to office. According to PropEquity, prices have risen by 17% CAGR between 2022-2025 with nearly 50% of sales and launches in the premium segment in home priced between Rs 1-2 crore.
Umesh Gowda H A, chairman and founder of Sanjeevini Group, said that strong employment opportunities, particularly in the technology and startup sectors, resulted in growing demand for premium homes from professionals after the pandemic; and this trend continues to sustain.
“East Bengaluru is seeing consistent growth in demand owing to its proximity to employment hubs like Whitefield. Mid-to-premium segments are gaining traction as homebuyers upgrade their lifestyles. Going forward, we expect the momentum to continue as Bengaluru remains one of India’s most dynamic real estate markets supported by strong economic fundamentals and long-term housing demand,” Gowda said.
Bengaluru’s strong price growth highlights the city’s unmatched resilience and global appeal. As India’s AI and tech capital, Bengaluru continues to attract end-users, global investors, and a growing migrant workforce looking for quality life and long-term value.
“Backed by robust economic growth, pleasant climate, thriving IT and startup ecosystems, evolving infrastructure, and strong mid-segment housing demand from young professionals and families, the city remains a benchmark for stability and aspiration. The continued rise of brand Bengaluru makes this appreciation both natural and long-term,” said Ramji Subramaniam, managing director of Sowparnika Projects.
The city saw the highest housing supply among top cities in 2025 reflecting continued developer confidence in long-term demand with large branded developers dominating the supply.
Bhavesh Kothari, founder & CEO of Property First Realty, said, “Bengaluru’s housing market continues to demonstrate strong resilience, with price appreciation largely driven by genuine end-user demand rather than speculative buying. We are seeing professionals and long-term investors prioritising home ownership, particularly in well-connected micro-markets offering lifestyle amenities and strong future appreciation potential.”
