Stamp duty collections from Pune's property market crossed approximately INR 7,119 crore in calendar year 2025, the highest annual total in the past four years, even as property registrations edged down marginally, according to real estate consultancy Knight Frank India. The city recorded around 1,85,657 registrations during the year, reflecting a 2.3 per cent year-on-year decrease, but sustained demand for higher-value homes supported revenue growth. In December 2025, registrations were lower than the same month a year earlier, influenced partly by a high comparative base, yet values indicated continued underlying demand. Smaller homes up to INR 1 crore continued to account for the bulk of registrations, while larger units saw modest share growth, underscoring enduring interest in both mid-segment and premium housing in Pune's residential market.Read more

Pune's residential property market continued to display strong end-user demand in 2025, with housing sales significantly outpacing new supply, according to the Pune Housing Report 2025 by CRE Matrix in association with CREDAI Pune. The city recorded around 81,000 registered apartment sales during the year, compared with 64,000 new housing launches, indicating demand running well ahead of supply. Transaction values crossed INR 63,000 crore, reflecting a marked shift towards larger homes and higher ticket sizes. While homes priced below INR 1 crore continued to dominate overall volumes, premium and luxury segments saw the fastest growth. Supply additions were impacted by approval delays across multiple planning authorities, resulting in fewer new project launches. Despite these constraints, Pune remained India's most affordable major housing market while leading the country in residential sales volumes.Read more
