For years, homebuying in Bangalore has danced between tradition and aspiration and in 2025, that tug-of-war is more alive than ever.
On one hand, you’ve got Vaastu; an age-old Indian science that governs energy flow, harmony and how your home aligns with the elements. On the other? The view. Floor-to-ceiling windows framing sunrises, lush green pockets, city skylines, or lakes that catch the golden hour just right.
Still Rooted in Vaastu?
There’s no denying it - Vaastu continues to hold significant weight in Bangalore's property decisions. Many buyers (and their families) still consider the orientation of the main door, kitchen and bedroom placements as essential.
In fact, a recent market study revealed that over 60% of Bangalorean homebuyers in 2025 still inquire about Vaastu compliance, especially when purchasing for self-use or as a long-term investment.
That said, the definition of "Vaastu-compliant" has become more fluid. Buyers aren’t necessarily walking away from their dream home just because the puja room is a few degrees off. They’re open to small adjustments or expert consultations, especially if the rest of the home checks all their boxes.
But Let’s Talk About That View…
Now more than ever, Bangaloreans are craving connection with the outdoors, especially post-pandemic, when home became everything.
A great view is a lifestyle statement. Whether it's a peaceful courtyard, a green park, or the calming presence of water, the view has become an emotional trigger. It’s about waking up with natural light, sipping coffee in a balcony, or watching the rain hit the city skyline after a long day.
And let’s not forget: the view also photographs really well on Instagram.
Interestingly, our recent conversations with Bren homebuyers show that younger couples and working professionals are prioritizing layout, light and view even more than Vaastu. Many say it makes them feel “mentally lighter”, a subtle shift towards wellbeing-led buying decisions.
So… Vaastu or View?
The truth? It’s not always either-or.
Today’s buyers are smarter, better informed and clearer about what matters to them. Some will always lead with tradition. Others want to feel emotionally inspired by their space.
The sweet spot lies in thoughtful design; homes that offer Vaastu-conscious layouts and open up to views that breathe life into every room.
