ANAROCK Research & Advisory counted 16,650 Bengaluru home sales in Q3 2026, 12% more than a year earlier. Available inventory rose 35% annually to 80,200 units, the sharpest annual increase among its seven tracked cities. The two measures can rise together: quarterly inventory grew only 1% as sales increased and new launches eased. The Q3 2026 report gives the city-level figures.
How many homes did Bengaluru sell?
The report records 16,650 sales, up 9% from Q2 2026 and 12% from Q3 2025. That made Bengaluru one of the few top-seven cities with annual sales growth in the quarter. The sales figure is a research estimate for the whole city market; it is not a count of one developer’s bookings or a measure of sales in every neighbourhood.
Why did available inventory still rise?
ANAROCK estimates 80,200 available units at the end of Q3, up 35% from a year earlier. The quarter-on-quarter increase was 1%, from 79,200 in Q2. The report says this annual build-up was the largest among its seven cities, while the slower quarterly rise came as sales outpaced a reduced launch pipeline.
New launches totalled 17,700 units, 16% above Q3 2025 but 18% below Q2 2026. Sales increased 9% quarter on quarter. The Q3 snapshot therefore pairs strong annual sales growth with an annual inventory increase, while the latest quarter shows a narrower rise in available stock. One period comparison does not cancel out the other.
What does a 15-month inventory overhang mean here?
ANAROCK puts Bengaluru’s Q3 inventory overhang at 15 months, the lowest among its seven markets. The report shows the measure 2% lower quarter on quarter and 22% higher year on year. Its overhang is a market-level absorption measure; it does not promise that a particular apartment or project will sell within that period.
The report defines available inventory as unsold units in launched projects, regardless of launch timing or construction progress. It is not a count limited to completed homes. BestProp.ai’s earlier Bengaluru Q2 launch-mix report looks at a different supply measure from the previous quarter.
What can a buyer infer from citywide data?
The Q3 report supports two bounded observations: sales increased from a year earlier, and available stock also grew over that period. For a particular project, the citywide total does not show its unsold unit mix, construction stage, recent booking pace or locality-specific competition. Those details need project-level records and current local evidence.
Did Bengaluru sales increase in Q3 2026?
Yes. ANAROCK reports 16,650 sales, up 9% quarter on quarter and 12% year on year.
How much available inventory did Bengaluru have?
ANAROCK reports approximately 80,200 available units at the end of Q3 2026, 35% above the same quarter in 2025.
Did inventory rise during Q3 itself?
Yes, but by 1% quarter on quarter, compared with a 35% annual increase. The report attributes the slower sequential build to stronger sales and fewer launches than in Q2.
