Bengaluru recorded the highest apartment sales across seven major Indian cities during the January-June period of 2026. Sales reached 35,017 units, marking a 16% increase year-on-year, driven by robust demand and increased fresh supply. Nationally, the residential market showed resilience, with a 3% rise in sales volume to 1,38,382 units compared to the previous year.
The premium housing segment, specifically properties priced between Rs 1-3 crore, experienced a significant surge of 58% year-on-year. This trend underscores a growing buyer inclination towards well-located, quality developments offering long-term value and an enhanced living experience. Experts note sustained urbanisation and infrastructure development as key drivers.

The city is evolving beyond its IT hub identity, with sectors like GCCs, AI, and deep-tech contributing to a diversified economy. This attracts professionals seeking larger, experiential homes with a focus on sustainability and smart features.
