Shishir Baijal, International Partner, Chairman & Managing Director, Knight Frank India, stated, “Pune’s residential market has started 2026 on a measured note, with over 14,500 property registrations and INR 609 cr in stamp duty collections in January. While registrations moderated YoY, the relatively lower decline in revenue reflects continued momentum in higher ticket-size transactions. On a sequential basis, the sharp rebound in both registrations and collections signals renewed buying activity after the year-end slowdown. The shift toward mid and premium segments, along with steady demand for larger homes, indicates that end-user confidence remains intact even as volumes normalise from last year’s elevated base.”
Higher demand for larger apartments sustains
The distribution of home sizes in January 2026 remained largely steady with minor shifts across segments. The share of units under 500 sq ft declined from 26% in January 2025 to 23%. The 500–800 sq ft category continued to dominate the market, inching up from 45% in January 2025 to 46% in January 2026. Homes with larger configurations saw a modest rise, with both the 800–1,000 sq ft and 1,000–2,000 sq ft segments increasing by one percentage point each to 14%. The share of homes above 2,000 sq ft remained stable at 3%. Overall, demand patterns indicate stability, with a slight inclination toward larger unit sizes.
