Despite macroeconomic challenges like global IT uncertainty and fluctuating interest rates, Bengaluru’s real estate market is outperforming expectations. A recent report by Antique Stock Broking highlights several factors fueling this growth:
Key Drivers of Bengaluru’s Real Estate Boom

- Income tax exemptions and a favorable monsoon have boosted consumer sentiment.
- Strong demand in micro-markets like North Bengaluru, Sarjapur Road, and Whitefield.
- Affordable housing continues to attract buyers, especially in emerging zones.
- Infrastructure upgrades such as Namma Metro Phase 2 & 3, Satellite Town Ring Road, and the ₹9,700 crore double-decker flyover project.
