Bengaluru emerges as India’s hottest premium housing market in Q3 2025

Bengaluru’s premium housing sales jumped 68% in Q3 2025, driven by end‑user demand and high‑income job growth, sales hit Rs 12,111 crore

Bengaluru has surged ahead as the country’s strongest premium housing market in the Rs 2–5 crore bracket during the third quarter of 2025, driven by robust end‑user demand and the city’s expanding base of high‑income professionals.  

According to industry data, Bengaluru recorded sales of 4,334 premium housing units in Q3, marking a sharp 68% increase compared to the same period last year. The total sales value touched approximately Rs 12,111 crore, reflecting a 64% year‑on‑year rise. Weighted average prices also climbed by nearly 15%, reaching around Rs 8,870 per square foot.  

This performance has significantly boosted Bengaluru’s share among India’s top nine property markets. The city accounted for 21% of the overall premium sales value of Rs 56,473 crore and 23% of the 18,980 units sold across metros including Delhi‑NCR, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Navi Mumbai, and Thane.  
While Delhi‑NCR led in absolute numbers with 4,954 units worth Rs 15,534 crore, Bengaluru stood out for its pace of growth, improving its share of both units and value by nearly five percentage points year‑on‑year.

Growth Drivers  

The city’s booming job market, fueled by the expansion of global capability centers (GCCs) and start‑ups, has created a wave of high‑paying opportunities. This has translated into rising demand for larger, lifestyle‑oriented homes. Unlike speculative investors, most buyers in Bengaluru are end‑users—professionals seeking long‑term stability and aspirational living.  

Steady infrastructure upgrades and the presence of credible developers have further strengthened buyer confidence, positioning Bengaluru as a reliable destination for premium housing.  

National Context and Outlook  

Across the top nine cities, the Rs 2–5 crore segment grew 31% in units and 24% in value during Q3 2025. Market leaders believe this reflects a structural shift toward aspirational, luxury, and ‘experience‑led’ living, with buyers prioritizing spacious layouts and prime locations.  
Looking ahead, experts expect FY 2026 to bring more balanced growth. Developers who emphasize trust, timely delivery, and quality construction are likely to benefit most as India’s premium housing market continues to evolve.
