“The real estate market in Pune continues to be strong, driven by a positive sense for homeownership. Additionally, the growing preference of homebuyers for larger properties contributes to the vibrancy of Pune’s real estate sector. The ongoing improvements in infrastructure and the sustained expansion of economic activities will build a strong foundation in the times to come,” Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director, of Knight Frank India said.
With a substantial share of 75%, Central Pune—which includes Haveli Taluka, Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC), and Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC)—maintained its dominance in residential sales in October 2023. According to Knight Frank India’s research, this proportion didn’t much alter from the same time last year.
Furthermore, with 13 percent of all residential deals in October 2023, west Pune—which includes areas like Mawal, Mulshi, and Velhe—held the second-largest percentage of all residential transactions.
