Decoded: Bengaluru’s Latest Real Estate Trends In 2026

Real estate in Bengaluru maintained a steady pace in 2025. This growth is expected to continue in 2026. As per a report by NoBroker Report, Bengaluru continues to reinforce its position as one of the most future-ready real estate markets in India at the moment. The city is backed by its global IT reputation, steady job reputation, and large-scale infrastructure updates. The current cycle is driven by end-user demand for long-term investments and lifestyle-led buying decisions, which is what makes this different from the previous growth spikes.

Steady Price Growth

In 2026, residential property prices in the city showed healthy appreciation, even across the micro-markets. Established IT corridors such as Whitefield, Sarjapur Road, and Outer Ring Road continue to attract a strong demand due to their prime location, social infrastructure, connectivity, and upcoming commercial developments as well.

North Bangalore is emerging as a high-growth zone, which is supported by improved connectivity to the center. Other affordable segments, that are located in parts of South Bangalore, remain attractive to first-time buyers.

The premium segment remains attractive among buyers, with more than 250 premium residential sales of the total sales in 2025. A high was, however, only noticed in the affordable 3 BHK segments.

The price growth remained consistent in the year, which indicates a stable and mature market.

Buyer Preferences

Homebuyers are now opting for larger homes, with 3BHK apartments coming up as their best choice. These accommodate new families while also giving enough space for hybrid work models.

Aside from this shift, lifestyle features a major decision-making call while purchasing a property. Buyers are now drawn to projects that offer modern amenities, smart home features, safety, and community zones. These projects provide a sense of belongingness while also catering to all their needs without having to bother outside.

However, location remains the main key factor. People opted for properties near metro stations, major roads, schools, hospitals, and market areas.

Infrastructural Contributions

The key drivers of growth were the infrastructural developments. The expansion of Metro networks has significantly connected various suburbs of the city, opening access to the peripheral areas within the city. This has reduced the commute time for people, increasing attraction to the previous projects in the suburbs.

Properties located near the upcoming transit corridors are witnessing a higher demand from both homebuyers and investors.

In 2026, Bangalore’s real estate market is reflecting a stable and mature long-term growth for buyers and developers alike. With the growth sustained by growth corridors and infrastructural development, the buyers are taken care of.
