How Brickplot determines a Buy Now verdict
A Buy Now rating (score ≥8.0) requires a project to score well across all 11 independent axes — no single-axis gaming allowed. The formula applies hard caps that can suppress a score regardless of other factors:
- RERA unregistered: hard cap ≤4.9 — no exceptions.
- NCLT / IBC admitted proceedings: hard cap ≤3.9 — automatic Avoid.
- Construction stalled >18 months: hard cap ≤4.4.
- OC missing on RTM project >6 months post-handover: cap ≤5.4.
The city rankings above are derived entirely from these mechanically-applied scores — no editorial override, no builder sponsorship. Read the full scoring rubric.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Indian city has the best real estate investment potential in 2026?
Based on Brickplot's mechanically-derived scoring of 1,420+ RERA-verified projects, the city with the highest concentration of Buy Now (score ≥8.0) rated projects is determined by our 11-axis formula covering legal title cleanliness, RERA compliance, builder financial health, construction delivery risk, and location infrastructure. The Buy Now % ranking is updated daily from live RERA and satellite data. See the city table above for the current standings.
What percentage of Bangalore projects are rated Buy Now by Brickplot?
Brickplot scores every Bangalore residential project on 11 axes using RERA QPR data, Karnataka RERA registry, Kaveri 2.0 EC chains, BBMP OC status, satellite construction imagery, and verified buyer sentiment. The percentage of Bangalore projects rated Buy Now (score ≥8.0) is shown in the city table above. Only projects with a complete artefact wall (verified EC, OC, RERA, and parking data) qualify for Buy Now — raising the bar substantially above other platforms.
How does Brickplot rate a project as a good investment?
A Brickplot Buy Now verdict requires a composite score ≥8.0 across all 11 weighted axes: Legal & Title Cleanliness (16%), Builder Financial Health (12%), Location & Infrastructure (14%), RERA Disclosure Quality (10%), Construction & Delivery Risk (9%), Value & Price Trajectory (9%), Verified Buyer Sentiment (8%), Bank Loan-Approval Depth (6%), Liveability & Build Quality (6%), Governance & Approvals Depth (5%), and Investment Yield & Exit Liquidity (5%). Hard caps apply for NCLT proceedings (≤3.9), no RERA registration (≤4.9), stalled construction (≤4.4), and 13 other triggers. No builder pays Brickplot — all verdicts are independent.
Is Hyderabad or Bangalore better for real estate investment in 2026?
Bangalore and Hyderabad differ on Brickplot's scoring in three key ways: (1) RERA compliance depth — Karnataka RERA publishes richer QPR data than TSRERA, giving Bangalore projects more verifiable artefacts. (2) Builder diversity — Bangalore has a broader mix of Sobha, Brigade, Prestige, and Godrej projects with strong compliance records, while Hyderabad is dominated by Prestige, Lodha, and local builders. (3) Location risk — Hyderabad's eastern micro-markets on Outer Ring Road carry higher infrastructure delivery risk. The current city investment table above shows the live Buy Now % comparison based on all scored projects.
Which localities in Bangalore have the most Buy Now rated projects?
Based on Brickplot's scored database, Bangalore localities with the highest concentration of Buy Now (score ≥8.0) projects include Whitefield, Sarjapur Road, Hebbal, and Yelahanka — driven by established infrastructure, lower flood risk, and stronger builder track records in those corridors. Projects in these areas tend to score highest on Location & Infrastructure (axis 6, weight 14%) and Construction & Delivery Risk (axis 8, weight 9%).
