With property prices in Bengaluru escalating, homebuyers are increasingly looking towards Mysuru, Karnataka, as a more affordable and livable alternative. Real estate experts report a noticeable uptick in inquiries for Mysuru, particularly as the Karnataka state government aims to establish the city as a significant technology hub to alleviate pressure on Bengaluru’s infrastructure. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's 2026-27 Budget outlines plans for infrastructure development and industry-friendly policies to attract IT firms to Mysuru. This shift is evident as Bengaluru homeowners are liquidating assets in prime areas like Koramangala to invest in Mysuru, where property prices are 20-30% lower. For instance, a 4,000 sq ft property in Mysuru can be acquired for around ₹2 crore (approximately $240,000 USD), a price point challenging to find in Bengaluru. The presence of reputable developers such as Brigade and Sobha is further enhancing buyer confidence. Traditionally seen as a retirement haven, Mysuru is now appealing to working professionals due to its lower density and improving infrastructure, with rising demand in neighborhoods like Kuvempu Nagar and Gokulam.
