Record-Breaking Sales Performance
Pune's residential market exceeded expectations in the first half of 2025, selling 44,000 units worth ₹32,800 crore. This impressive performance, according to CRE Matrix and CREDAI Pune Metro's joint report, places the city as India's leading housing market. North West Pune and PCMC are the main growth engines driving the record transaction volume.
Premiumization Reshapes Market Dynamics
The high-value segment is now dominating trends:
- Units priced between ₹1-2 crore saw a 200% year-on-year increase
- Average property values are now ₹75 lakh per unit
- Affordable housing (<₹50 lakh) share fell to 28% from 34% in the previous period
- The mid-segment (₹50 lakh-₹1 crore) keeps steady at 42% market share
This shift toward premiumization shows sustained demand from IT professionals and returning NRIs looking for upgraded living spaces due to limited inventory in established neighbourhoods.
Strategic Growth Corridors Fuel Expansion
Pune's four-directional development model continues to deliver results:
- Northern IT Zone (Moshi-Chakan-Punawale): Minimize the commute time for professionals working in Hinjewadi.
- North-Eastern Employment Corridor (Wagholi-Charholi): 25% annual job growth, attracting new residents
- South-Western Planned Communities (Dhayari-Wadgaon Budruk): Infrastructure-backed residential clusters
- South-Eastern Infrastructure Markets (Handewadi-Undri): Rapidly developing residential hubs with metro connectivity
Festive Season Momentum Builds
Industry observers expect accelerated sales during the upcoming festivals:
- Q3 2025 already recorded 10,776 new residential launches
- Mid-segment properties make up 58% of the current inventory
- Weighted average capital values stabilising at ₹11,113 per square foot
- Office leasing growth (31% YoY) indicates continued employment expansion
Market Outlook
With H1 figures already surpassing 2024's comparable period by 18%, experts project 90,000+ annual unit sales. "Pune's data-driven urban planning and infrastructure investments create a self-reinforcing growth cycle," notes a Cushman & Wakefield analyst. The combination of metro connectivity, IT sector resilience, and limited premium inventory suggests sustained momentum through year-end, especially during the traditional festival buying season when transaction volumes typically spike 30-35%.
