According to Knight Frank India, the recorded registrations for September 2024 reflect a marked decrease compared to the previous year. This trend underscores the challenges faced by the market, particularly during periods deemed unfavorable for real estate transactions. Furthermore, stamp duty collections for September 2024 reached approximately INR 508 crore, indicating a significant impact of the registration decline on government revenue.
The consultant elaborated on the effects of the Shraadh period, explaining that during this time, prospective buyers typically refrain from engaging in major financial commitments. This cultural practice, observed from the end of September to mid-October last year, can have a ripple effect on property sales and market activity.
However, looking at the broader picture, the January to September period of this year reveals a more optimistic trend. Pune registered a total of 138,412 properties, marking a 29 percent increase from 107,627 units in the same timeframe last year. This growth suggests a recovery and a robust demand for properties outside the Shraadh period, signaling positive sentiment among buyers. During the first nine months of 2024, stamp duty collections from these registrations amounted to approximately INR 5,253 crore, reflecting a healthy year-on-year growth of 38 percent.
Shishir Baijal, the Chairman and Managing Director of Knight Frank India, commented on the resilience of Pune's real estate market. He pointed out that despite the recent dip in registrations, several factors contribute to the market's overall strength. Baijal highlighted that rising incomes, positive consumer sentiment, supportive financing options, and ongoing infrastructure projects are solidifying Pune's reputation as a prime location for homebuyers. This combination of elements not only supports current market activity but also positions Pune as an attractive destination for future investments in real estate.
Pune's property market faced challenges last month due to the Shraadh period, but the overall trend for 2024 remains positive. The significant increase in registrations and stamp duty collections during the year underscores the city's robust demand for real estate. With supportive factors in place, Pune is well-positioned to continue attracting homebuyers and investors alike.
