Pune Sees 19% Surge in Registered Home Sales Value, Average Prices Reach All-Time High in July-September Quarter: Square Yards
Pune, including Pimpri-Chinchwad, has reported a strong surge in registered home sales value for the July-September quarter of 2024, according to the latest report from Square Yards. Based on IGR data analysed by Square Yards, the city's home sales value saw a 19% year-on-year (YoY) increase, reaching Rs. 13,865 crore.
In the September 2024 quarter, 18,806 residential transactions were registered across Pune. While there was a slight 1% YoY decline in the number of registered transactions during the period, the total registered home sales value grew by 19%. This trend pushed the average registered sales value to a record-high of Rs. 74 lakh—20% higher than the same period last year.
Sachin Vyas, Principal Partner & CSO, Square Yards said, “Pune remains one of the strongest residential in India, second only to Mumbai MMR. We are observing a distinct trend toward higher-end properties, with the average home sales value rising 20% year-on-year to an all-time high of Rs. 74 lakh in the September 2024 quarter, and the western suburbs even surpassing the Rs. 1 crore threshold. Currently, Pimpri-Chinchwad and the western suburbs are at the forefront of residential activity in Pune, driven by excellent connectivity and their strategic location near IT hubs. Looking ahead, we are very optimistic about the market's potential. With the festive season underway and developers offering attractive incentives, we anticipate a surge in buyer interest and demand in the coming months.”
Market Leaders and Key Projects
Kolte Patil Developers secured the top position in both total registered transactions and sales value in Pune's residential market for the July-September 2024 quarter. Their flagship project, Life Republic in Hinjewadi, led the rankings for the highest number of registered transactions and placed third in terms of sales value. Pristine Properties followed closely, with strong contributions to the transaction volume from their O2 World project in Kharadi. Mahindra Lifespaces entered the list of top-10 developers in Pune as compared to September 2023 quarter, with their Codename Crown project performing impressively in not only in transaction volume, but also sales value.
Area-wise and Budget-wise Trends
In the September 2024 quarter, the share of properties priced above Rs. 1 crore increased to 18%, up from 13% in the same period last year, with homes in the Rs. 1–2 crore range accounting for the largest share at 15%. This rise came at the expense of the lower-to-mid price segments. The share of homes priced below Rs. 50 lakh and between Rs. 50 lakh–1 crore dropped from 87% to 82% compared to the same period last year.
The rise in premium segment coincides with a noticeable shift towards properties with larger areas and configurations. Properties sized between 1,000–1,500 sq.ft. now account for 11% of transactions, up from 8%, reflecting a growing preference for spacious apartments. However, it is to be noted that units in the 500–1,000 sq.ft. range continue to dominate the market, representing 62% of all registered transactions.
Micro Market Performance
Pimpri Chinchwad remained Pune’s most active residential market in the September 2024 quarter, capturing a 46% share of overall residential transactions and 34% of total sales value. Western and eastern suburbs followed closely, collectively accounting for 38% of registered transaction volume. Together, these three micro-markets contributed to 84% of Pune’s overall registered home sales value during the quarter.
Pune's western suburbs recorded the highest average transaction value at Rs. 1.07 crore, surpassing the central suburbs. This was largely driven by premium projects from prominent developers, appealing to end-users due to the area's proximity to the Mumbai-Pune Expressway and the IT hub of Hinjewadi. Meanwhile, Pimpri Chinchwad remained an affordable alternative with an average transaction value of Rs. 55 lakh, bolstered by strong connectivity via NH-48, further adding to its popularity as a residential choice.
Localities such as Wagholi in Pune East, followed by Ravet, Moshi, and Charholi Budruk, led in total registered residential transactions during the July-September 2024 quarter. Wagholi followed by Hinjewadi topped the charts in terms of registered sales value, with properties worth Rs. 1,237 crore and Rs. 982 crore sold, respectively, in the September quarter.
In the past few years, Pune has seen rapid development in its peripheral and suburban areas as the city continues to expand outward along key roadways. This has unlocked potential land parcels, with both local and national developers who are maintaining a robust pipeline in the region, according to Square Yards’ insights. Infrastructure projects like the metro expansion and ring road are expected to further improve connectivity between these areas and Pune’s commercial and IT hubs. Given the on-going infrastructure development along with the on-going festive season, Pune’s residential activity is expected to accelerate in the coming quarters.
