The rental market in Bengaluru's tech hub has taken an unexpected turn, with a jaw-dropping listing making waves on social media. A Reddit user shared a screenshot of a 1,464 sq ft apartment listed for an astounding Rs 2.7 lakh per month, with a whopping security deposit of Rs 15 lakh, leaving the internet flabbergasted.
The Unbelievable Listing
A 'regular' looking 3BHK flat, priced at a staggering Rs 2.7 lakhs, has turned heads and left many questioning reality. Is this the new standard for rental prices in Bengaluru?
The user captioned the post, "Is this really something people pay for? The flat looks at best decent-ish." The screenshot, carrying the hefty monthly rent and security deposit, has sparked widespread discourse and concern among the virtual community.
The Internet Reacts
With typical 2BHK apartments in popular areas like Harlur costing around Rs 40,000 to Rs 50,000 a month, the viral listing of a 3BHK flat for 2.7 lakhs has left the internet furious. Many have questioned the accuracy and legitimacy of the listing, with some warning against a potential scam.
Some Redditor's skepticism is highlighted with comments like, "No one would pay this," and "It may be a mistake or fake/test listing," while others humourously joke about the exorbitant prices, remarking, "I think an extra zero has been added by mistake," and "Some dumb corporate slave will pay this."
While some voice their doubts, others express their disbelief, "Dude. I pay 80k pm (exc. maintenance which is variable) for a fully furnished flat.. furnished to the brim.. what's this nonsense? I hope it's a troll post."
Market Realities
In comparison to the viral listing, the average prices for 3BHK flats in Haralur or nearby areas show rents ranging from ₹54,000 to ₹90,000 per month [1][4]. For instance, a 3BHK flat in Harlur is available for rent at ₹90,000 per month. Another listing mentions a 3BHK apartment in Haralur Road for ₹62,000 per month, which is negotiable [4]. This stark contrast between the viral listing and market averages leaves many questioning the authenticity of the listing or the peculiar market dynamics in Haralur.
