Get ready to cheer for Bengaluru! According to the latest Knight Frank Prime Global Cities Index (PGCI) Q2 2025 report, our Silicon Valley city has zoomed to the 4th spot in the world for price rises in prime housing properties. Out of 46 big cities, Bengaluru’s prime homes jumped by a whopping 10.2% in just one year! Meanwhile, Mumbai is holding strong at 6th place with an 8.7% rise, and Delhi comes in at 15th with a 3.9% increase. But who's topping the global charts? Seoul leads the pack, boasting a stunning 25.2% jump in prime residential prices. Tokyo follows at second with 16.3%, and Dubai is right behind in third place at 15.8%. Knight Frank’s Prime Global Cities Index monitors how prime housing prices move across these 46 cities worldwide. The big picture shows that, on average, global prime residential prices rose 2.3% in the year ending June 2025—a slight cooling down compared to 3.5% in Q1 2025. Yet, don't count Indian cities out! The consultant explains, "Despite a global cooling in prime residential price growth - averaging 2.3 per cent annually compared to 3.5 per cent in Q1 2025 - Indian cities remain resilient, reflecting strong demand, limited prime supply, and sustained wealth creation in urban centres." What a fantastic sign for home buyers and investors alike, that India’s top cities keep their heat in a chilled global market. So, if you're watching the property game, Bengaluru is the city to watch for prime property gains!
