Bengaluru’s Hottest Residential Property Destinations

6312a16fc90d7a6830766290ca83541f

Driven largely by the end-users, the Bengaluru real estate market has remained resilient even during the worst phase of the property cycle in the country. Realistic property prices, ‘real’ demand by end-users, developers’ strategy to keep the new launches under control along with their consistent efforts to minimize the demand-supply gap have worked in favour of the ‘Garden City.’ Since the end-users here are mostly professionals working across service sectors led by the IT/ITeS, developers have been conscientiously aligning their offerings to this demand.

For instance, to cater to the demands of a tech-savvy homebuyer, developers have launched ‘Smart Homes’ for their buyers with several features at the ‘click of a button.’ Additionally, builders here were among the first to offer online payment system for property.

One of the major positives of this city is that it has always adapted well to the changing market dynamics, and therefore remains well-positioned for future growth as well. As per ANAROCK data, the city added 8,800 units in Q2 2018, a quarterly increase of 28% against the preceding quarter. On the sales front too, Bengaluru saw 27% rise compared to Q1 2018.

Emerging residential areas in the city

The top 3 emerging areas in the city based on the new supply and the inherent demand by prospective buyers include Kanakapura Road and Electronic City in south zone and Devanahalli in the north.

As per ANAROCK data, Devanahalli is seeing a spurt in real estate activity since 2017 with major builders like Embassy, Salarpuria Sattva and Ozone launching their residential projects.  The area has garnered the interest of buyers due to its proximity to the airport and ample land availability, which has helped in ensuring good supply. Quite a few large-size projects now dot this region.

Electronic City is largely seeing demand by IT/ITeS professionals and has relatively affordable property prices. Enhanced connectivity to major areas via metro is boosting the realty demand in Kanakapura Road. The advent of IT/ITeS parks in and around the area is also a major reason for high supply of units.
