This surge indicates a renewed interest in home buying and signals a positive shift in the city's housing landscape. Residential transactions accounted for 20,190 of the total, generating a sales value of INR 13,995 crores, a 3% increase compared to the previous year.
The average price for homes sold during this period climbed to an all-time high of INR 69 lakhs, reflecting a robust 17% jump from the previous year. Experts suggest this growth is largely driven by a strong demand for high-end properties, as more homebuyers seek aspirational living options amid rising disposable incomes and employment opportunities.
Real estate analyst Suhas Paithankar from Square Yards noted Pune's strong market performance, which positions it as one of India's top cities for real estate, second only to Mumbai. He emphasized that upcoming festivals, such as Ganpati, are likely to boost buying activity even further in the latter half of the year.
A closer look at the types of properties being sold reveals interesting trends. Properties priced between INR 50 lakh and INR 1 crore increased their market share to 39%, compared to 36% the previous year. Transactions for homes in the INR 1-2 crore range almost doubled, indicating a growing appetite for premium real estate.
One-bedroom and two-bedroom configurations remain very popular, with the 500-1,000 sq. ft. range making up 62% of all transactions. Pimpri Chinchwad and the western suburbs of Pune continue to lead the market, particularly areas along the Mumbai-Pune Expressway and NH-48.
These regions accounted for 67% of overall transactions and 64% of the total sales value in the June quarter. The highest average sale prices were noted in Pune's central suburbs, reaching INR 1.08 crore, followed by the western micro-market at INR 88 lakhs, heavily influenced by the presence of IT companies in these areas.
Localities such as Wagholi, Ravet, Punawale, and Tathawade led the market in terms of registered transactions during this quarter. Wagholi and Baner emerged as the top areas for sales value, with properties sold worth INR 991 crores and INR 679 crores, respectively.
In terms of developers, VTP Realty emerged as the leader in total transactions and sales value. Its VTP Verve project in Sus ranked highly in both categories. Kolte Patil Developers also made significant contributions through its Life Republic project in Hinjewadi, while Godrej's Urban Retreat saw strong performance in transactions and sales value.
Overall, Pune's real estate market is experiencing strong growth, driven by rising demand and buyer preferences for premium options. As the year progresses and festivities approach, the outlook appears promising for both buyers and investors in this vibrant market.
