Pune's Housing Price Index (HPI) has declined by 4 points on an annual basis. This trend is in stark contrast to other IT cities like Bengaluru and Hyderabad.
Why are property rates coming down in Pune?
The current uncertain environment in the IT sector and the fear of recession in America are affecting the decisions of Pune's home buyers. This is affecting the sales. According to the report, 'Increasing uncertainties in the IT sector have impacted home sales in Pune. As a result, price growth has slowed down. This is reflected in the 4-point year-on-year (YoY) decline in Pune's HPI reading.'
The report also cited that despite the drop in prices, demand for bigger and premium homes remains strong in Pune. On the other hand, there has been a huge increase in property prices in IT cities like Bangalore and Hyderabad. The main reason for this is the strong tech workforce.
