This guide explains those numbers, what they say about the kind of homes being built, and how a buyer can use them. Sales for the same quarter are covered in Bangalore Housing Sales Q3 2026: 3 Reports Compared. Our earlier look at mid-year unsold stock is in Has Bengaluru's Unsold Housing Stock Overtaken Mumbai's? What the 2026 Data Shows, and Where Buyers Have Room.

How many new homes were launched in Bengaluru in Q3 2026?

ANAROCK counts about 17,700 homes launched in Q3 2026, against 21,700 in Q2 2026 and 15,200 in Q3 2025. That gives Bengaluru 15% of all new supply across the seven cities, behind the Mumbai region (37,500), Hyderabad (18,950) and Pune (18,750).

The quarterly dip matters more than it looks. Q2 2026 was a heavy launch quarter, so Q3's 18% fall means developers slowed the tap after a burst. ANAROCK notes that Bengaluru's stock grew only 1% on the quarter because sales outpaced a reduced launch pipeline.

Across all seven cities launches rose 18% to about 1,14,300 homes. Hyderabad (+120%), the Mumbai region (+27%) and Bengaluru (+16%) drove the annual rise; NCR, Chennai, Kolkata and Pune launched less than a year earlier.

What price range are the new Bengaluru launches in?

This is the most important number in the report for an ordinary buyer. ANAROCK found that 52% of Bengaluru's Q3 2026 supply was priced above ₹1.5 crore. Homes in its affordable (below ₹40 lakh) and lower-mid (₹40–80 lakh) bands together made up only about 1% of new supply. Hyderabad was the only other city nearly as skewed, at 3%.

That is the opposite of the national trend this quarter. Across the seven cities, affordable and lower-mid homes took 31% of new launches, up from 25% in Q2 2026, and the affordable band alone more than doubled its share to 14%. The Mumbai region and NCR brought back large amounts of entry-level supply. Bengaluru did not.

  • ANAROCK budget bands: Affordable below ₹40 lakh; Lower mid ₹40–80 lakh; Upper mid ₹80 lakh–₹1.5 crore; High-end ₹1.5–2.5 crore; Luxury ₹2.5–4 crore; Ultra-luxury above ₹4 crore.
  • Bengaluru Q3 2026: about 52% of new supply above ₹1.5 crore; about 1% below ₹80 lakh. By subtraction, roughly 47% sat in the ₹80 lakh to ₹1.5 crore upper-mid band.
  • Seven cities Q3 2026: about 69% of launches above ₹80 lakh; 14% above ₹2.5 crore; 14% below ₹40 lakh.

Where are the homes under ₹80 lakh, then?

Mostly in resale, in older ready projects, and in launches on the city's edges that may not show up as a meaningful share of ANAROCK's survey. If your budget is under ₹80 lakh, a fresh launch in a central or IT-corridor location is now rare, and you should plan around three routes.

How much unsold stock does Bengaluru have now?

ANAROCK counts about 80,200 homes available for sale in Bengaluru at the end of September 2026, against 79,200 at the end of June and 59,250 a year earlier. That 35% annual rise is the sharpest of the seven cities. 'Available inventory' here means launched but unsold units, whatever their construction stage.

Context matters. The Mumbai region holds about 1,98,050 unsold homes and Hyderabad about 1,14,700, so Bengaluru's stock is smaller in absolute terms. Across the seven cities, unsold stock rose 12% to about 6,30,600 homes.

PropEquity's separate nine-market count points the same way on supply: launches across its markets fell to 98,165 homes from 1,00,330 a year earlier. Knight Frank says launches have exceeded sales for 16 consecutive quarters across its eight cities.

What is inventory overhang, and why is Bengaluru's the lowest?

Inventory overhang is the number of months it would take to sell all unsold stock at the current pace of sales. ANAROCK puts Bengaluru at 15 months, the lowest of the seven cities, against 28 months in Hyderabad and 19 months for the seven cities together.

Bengaluru's overhang is up 22% on the year, the largest annual rise, but it eased 2% on the quarter because sales picked up while launches slowed. ANAROCK credits sustained technology-sector employment and steady end-user demand.

  • Worked example, using ANAROCK's figures: 80,200 unsold homes ÷ (16,650 sold in the quarter ÷ 3 months) = 80,200 ÷ 5,550 = about 14.5 months, which rounds to the 15 months ANAROCK reports.
  • If sales stayed at 16,650 a quarter and launches at 17,700, stock would grow by about 1,050 homes a quarter, so the overhang would creep up slowly rather than spike.
  • If launches dropped back to sales pace, the overhang would start falling, because the existing stock would be absorbed.

Are prices falling because of the extra supply?

No. ANAROCK's average base selling price for Bengaluru was ₹9,600 per sq ft on super built-up area in Q3 2026, up 2% on the quarter and 8% on the year, the second-fastest annual rise after NCR (12%). Unsold stock is rising, but most of it is in expensive, still-selling segments, so developers have not needed to cut list prices. The detail is in Are Bangalore Property Prices Falling in 2026? What the Data Says.

What extra supply does create is negotiating room on individual projects, especially those with slow bookings or several towers launched together.

How to use the supply numbers when you buy

What the Q3 supply data does not tell you

Survey numbers are useful for direction, less so for a single purchase. Keep four limits in mind before you act on them.

  • Coverage: ANAROCK, PropEquity and Knight Frank each track their own list of projects. Small developers and plotted layouts on the city's edge are often under-counted, which is one reason the share of cheaper homes can look smaller than what you find on the ground.
  • Price basis: ANAROCK quotes base selling price on super built-up area. Your cost per sq ft of carpet area, after GST, car park, clubhouse and other charges, will be noticeably higher. Our worked conversion is in Flat Cost Sheet in Bangalore: 12 Charges, One Worked Example.
  • Stage: 'available inventory' mixes towers that have just launched with ones close to completion. A city total does not say how much unsold stock is ready to move into.
  • Location: the pan-India report gives a single Bengaluru number. Micro-markets can move in opposite directions, so check the project and the corridor, not only the city.
