Rising Bengaluru Home Prices Challenge Affordability for Working Professionals
Rising real estate prices in Bengaluru are making home ownership increasingly difficult for working professionals. A social media post by Shankar von Mysuru highlighted that decent 2BHK homes in good localities now cost between Rs 1.4 crore and Rs 1.8 crore, with monthly EMIs ranging from Rs 80,000 to Rs 1.1 lakh. Despite higher incomes, many feel priced out of the market, as affordable homes under Rs 1 crore have nearly disappeared from the city’s core, prompting some to consider other cities.
