“Bengaluru’s residential market has seen a modest moderation in transaction momentum in the July-September 2024 quarter, a natural adjustment following a period of rapid growth”, said Sopan Gupta, Principal Partner, Square Yards. “During the festive season, we’ve seen heightened homebuyer interest, and as registrations generally complete within three to six months post-booking, we anticipate this demand to manifest in the upcoming quarters. Interest remains strong across both apartments and plots, with the northern micro-market gaining traction in particular. Looking ahead, we expect demand to continue on an upward trajectory, driven by resilient end-user and investor appetite. Ongoing infrastructure development, such as expansion of metro network and tech-infrastructure coupled with heightened office space uptake from major global tech players, are set to positively trickle in residential market in Bengaluru.”
