Overall Price Growth Trends
Bengaluru has witnessed an upward trend in its property prices, with city-wide price appreciation ranging from 50% , and sometimes even more than 200% (in a decade of time). In the past five years alone, price appreciation has been in the region of 79%, surpassing most other large Indian metropolitan cities. The demand momentum is mostly driven by Bengaluru’s expanding pool of jobs in technology, startups, and related support industries, in conjunction with ongoing gains in connectivity and supply of real estate.
Top 5 Places with Highest Appreciation in Price-
1. Sarjapur Road
Sarjapur Road stands first with a whopping price appreciation of nearly 120- 150% over the last 10 years. This area’s growth is driven by its advantageous location close to top IT parks and tech routes, excellent connectivity by roads to Outer Ring Road and Electronic City, and an abundance of new residential complexes from mid to premium categories. These forces draw plenty of IT professionals looking for trendy, planned homes, driving prices up very fast.
2. Varthur
Varthur has witnessed about 100- 120% increase in property rates. Being an eastern suburb, this neighborhood enjoys connectivity to Whitefield and Sarjapur Road, both IT corridors, and has improved commute facilities with widening road networks and planned metro-facilitated connectivity. The increasing urbanization here coupled with growth in the number of tech professionals joining the area along with new township projects has caused real appreciation in residential property prices.
3. Budigere Cross
Budigere Cross has experienced a tremendous appreciation of around 105% in the past 10 years. Located near major IT hubs such as Hebbal and regions advantageously connected by Outer Ring Road, Budigere Cross offers itself as a residential option for IT workers and managers. The combination of comparatively moderate past prices and continuous fast-paced development has turned it into an investors’ favorite, driving prices higher year after year.
4. Whitefield
Whitefield, one of Bengaluru’s oldest and most desirable IT centers, has witnessed nearly an 89% spike in property prices. Its transformation from a suburban locale to a throbbing job and resident hub based on IT parks, malls, education institutions, and hospitals has produced a steady boost in housing demand.

5. Bagaluru

The increase is remarkable given the huge addition of new residential properties, more than 17,000, with well over 94% of these units being in the mid to premium category between ₹40 lakh and ₹1.5 crore. The need arises from the constant infrastructure investments, and heavy demand by IT professionals for quality homes in new suburban hubs.
