Bangalore : In 2013, Bangalore turned out to be the second largest real estate market with the launch of 1.23 Lakh new units, a figure tad less than the 1.25 Lakh units launched in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). Despite a deluge of supply, inventory levels in Bangalore at 80,000 units are much lower compared to 1.1 Lakh in MMR, signifying an inherent demand. Unlike other national markets, prices in Bangalore are stable and affordable in the range of 4,300 per sq ft. All this is good news for investors and home buyers in Bangalore as they get ample affordable options to choose from.
The choice of location to buy a home in is driven by multiple factors but primary amongst them is a buyer's current work location and budget constraints. The Bangalore real estate market is divided into four geographical markets
- North, East, South and West. Exhibit 1 shows the average BSP in these four markets.
