Buying Property in Bangalore

What is the average property price in Bangalore in 2026?

Property prices in Bangalore vary significantly by micro-market. As of 2026, the average price per sq ft ranges from ₹5,500–₹7,500 in areas like Electronic City and Yelahanka, ₹8,000–₹12,000 in Whitefield and Marathahalli, and ₹12,000–₹20,000+ in premium localities like Indiranagar, Koramangala, and HSR Layout. New project launches in Sarjapur Road and Hebbal start from ₹7,000–₹9,500/sq ft. DS Realty's consultants provide micro-market price analysis tailored to your budget.

How much is stamp duty and registration in Karnataka in 2025?

In Karnataka, stamp duty is 5% of the property's guideline value for properties above ₹45 lakhs, 3% for properties between ₹21 lakhs and ₹45 lakhs, and 2% for properties up to ₹20 lakhs. Additionally, 1% registration charges apply. For a ₹1 crore property, you would pay approximately ₹5 lakhs stamp duty + ₹1 lakh registration = ₹6 lakhs total. Women buyers receive a 1% concession on stamp duty. DS Realty helps you calculate exact charges before finalising any deal.

What is RERA and why is it important when buying property in Bangalore?

RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Authority) is a government body that regulates the real estate sector in India under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016. Karnataka RERA (RERA.Karnataka.gov.in) ensures that developers register their projects, disclose all project details, and deliver on time. Before buying any property in Bangalore, always verify the project's RERA registration number on the Karnataka RERA portal. DS Realty is a RERA-registered agent (PRM/KA/RERA/1251/AGENT/00123) and lists only RERA-verified projects.
