Q3 2026: Bengaluru sells ~16,670 homes, up 12% — while launches race ahead

Bengaluru closed the July–September 2026 quarter as India's second-largest housing market. According to property consultancy Anarock, about 16,670 homes were sold in the city in Q3 2026 — a 12% rise over the same quarter last year — putting it behind only the Mumbai Metropolitan Region among the top seven cities.

The national picture was more muted. Across the top seven cities, sales rose just 3% year-on-year to roughly one lakh units, while new launches jumped 18%. Bengaluru and MMR together accounted for 48% of all homes sold across the seven cities during the quarter.

Supply is growing faster than sales

On the supply side, developers launched 17,720 new units in Bengaluru during the quarter, up 17% year-on-year — slightly more than the city absorbed. Average prices rose about 8% annually, a cooler pace than the double-digit jumps reported earlier in 2026.

Knight Frank India's nine-month data (January–September 2026) points the same way. It recorded 43,140 home sales in Bengaluru, up 5% on the same period of 2025, and noted that across India launches have now outpaced sales for the 16th quarter in a row.

Why the numbers differ between reports

Different consultancies count differently — some track only new-project sales in the city's main micro-markets, others include more peripheral launches — so the absolute figures never match exactly. The direction is what matters: every major tracker shows Bengaluru demand still growing, while new supply is now arriving at least as fast.

• Ask the sales team how many units in your tower are unsold — inventory is leverage.
• Prefer projects nearer completion; with more supply coming, early-stage risk deserves a lower price.
