“Despite challenges such as flooding and water shortages, homebuyer demand remains notably resilient, underpinned by a strengthening IT sector and the blend of full-time and hybrid working models,” said Sopan Gupta, Principal Partner, Square Yards.
“Our data highlights that while the East and Southern suburbs retain their appeal, Northern suburbs are rapidly emerging as key areas of interest for both apartments and plots,” Gupta added.
As per Square Yards’ analysis, North Bengaluru continues to be the most active region, accounting for 35% of registered transactions in the June quarter. South Bengaluru closely followed with a 30% share in overall transactions, with Electronic City and Jayanagar standing out as top localities.
