Short answer: Bengaluru is still a serious end-user market, but 2026 buyers should stop treating every launch as automatic appreciation. Knight Frank reported Bengaluru residential sales of 26,599 units in H1 2025, down 3% year-on-year, while launches rose 31%. That combination means buyers have choice, but also need sharper filtering.
Buy for end use when commute, school access, water, builder delivery and RERA verification are already acceptable today. Buy for investment only when the project has a clear rental market, realistic possession date and enough nearby resale comparables.
