This achievement marks a return of the city to the top position since Q3 2018.
The new launches in the city increased by almost 45 per cent, and this strong demand for property in Bengaluru is bolstered by the thriving IT sector, ongoing infrastructure upgrades, and a favourable business climate, said Rahul Arora, Senior Managing Director, Karnataka and Kerala, JLL India.

This submarket also contributed to approximately 57 per cent of the city’s quarterly sales, added Arora.
The robust buyer interest in projects launched over the past six months drives sustained sales momentum.

However, on a half-yearly basis, the premium segment (apartments priced between ₹3 crore to ₹5 crore) experienced a notable y-o-y growth more than 200 per cent compared to H1 2023, highlighting strong activity and healthy launches in this category.
Similar to launches, the upper-mid segment held a dominant share of 47 per cent in H1 2024 sales. However, the premium segment continued a remarkable y-o-y growth of around 175 per cent when compared to H1 2023.
The unsold inventory decreased by 21 per cent y-o-y as sales outpaced new launches. The total unsold inventory stood at 70,147 units by the end of H1 2024. A contributing factor to this reduction was that about 31 per cent of the launches were sold out during the same period.
