Bengaluru emerged as the strongest performer in India’s mid-to-premium residential market during the first half of 2025, registering sales of nearly 18,629 units priced between ₹1 crore and ₹5 crore. This accounted for about 70 percent of the city’s total sales in the period. The National Capital Region (NCR) followed with approximately 16,416 units, while Mumbai recorded close to 15,270 units in the same price category.

The surge in Bengaluru’s housing activity is being fuelled by a growing base of millennial buyers, primarily tech professionals and corporate executives in their 30s and 40s. These purchasers are increasingly prioritizing lifestyle features such as wellness amenities, eco-conscious design, and smart-home integrations, along with convenient access to business hubs, schools, and social infrastructure.
Reasons behind the demand
Market analysts point to rising demand for larger homes and upgraded living spaces as a major driver of this momentum. Bengaluru’s residential prices also saw a 14 percent year-on-year increase in the first half of 2025, nudging many buyers into the ₹1 crore to ₹5 crore bracket.
The city’s strong IT-led economy and robust office space absorption have further strengthened this segment, attracting both end-users and investors. Key growth corridors include Whitefield, Sarjapur Road, Bannerghatta Road, and Tumkur Road, where infrastructure improvements and Metro expansion are enhancing connectivity. North Bengaluru is also drawing significant interest from NRIs and high-net-worth individuals, particularly those based in the United States, who view the market as a stable long-term investment opportunity.
