Pune’s housing market in H1 CY’25 is riding a strong wave of transformation, showcasing the city’s move toward higher-value, future-ready homes. Against a backdrop of robust national realty demand, Pune stands out for recalibrating its focus toward quality, aspiration, and buyer upgradation—offering a bright narrative that underscores the city’s resilience and evolving stature as a leading urban real estate hub.

Pune’s Premium Revolution

Balancing Aspirations and Accessibility

While premium homes fuel growth, Pune also preserves its role as an inclusive market. Affordable and mid-range units (below Rs. 1 crore) still capture 55 percent of the market by value, reflecting a healthy balance and ensuring that the city remains accessible to a broad spectrum of buyers, from young professionals to nuclear families.

“The history of Pune real estate is one of steady development. Pune Metropolitan region has maintained its position as India’s top metropolitan region for home sales. Pune has firmly established itself as the first choice for homebuyers, ranking fifth nationally for office space demand and second for warehousing. There’s significant potential for growth in both office and warehousing sectors.  This growth is also fueled by Pune’s proximity to many scenic and recreational destinations like Mulshi, Mahabaleshwar and Lonavala—each just a short drive away—offering residents the perfect blend of urban convenience and weekend retreats. The market is rapidly maturing from its beginnings of affordability to a growing desire for premium housing. Being at the forefront of this change, encouraging responsible growth and promoting industry transparency, makes CREDAI Pune proud,” said Manish Jain, President, CREDAI Pune. 

“At CRE Matrix, we are thrilled to release another groundbreaking research in collaboration with CREDAI Pune. Pune has emerged as a top performing metro city, and has already reached 32K crores in its housing units being sold in just the first half of 2025. This indeed reflects a massive acceleration in demand and the units priced between 1cr to 2cr is the new sweet spot for Punekars, indicating a desire for bigger, spacious homes. North West Pune and PCMC region lead the way in the homebuying segment in 2025. Pune housing market growth story has just started, I foresee Pune shall soon breach the magical 1 lakh unit sales annually. Buyers are spoilt for choice and now have an array of options to choose from, spanning affordable to premium 1, 2, 3, and 4 BHK units. Additionally, with the upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport, Pune will soon be just 1.5 to 2 hours away, enhancing its connectivity and appeal. ”, stated Abhishek Kiran Gupta, CEO, CRE Matrix.

The City That “Upgrades” India

Pune’s strategic upgrades are reflected in its competitive market metrics, and its lead as a springboard for home ownership upgrades across India’s metros. Its ongoing transformation contrasts with but complements the luxury surge in NCR (where 73 Percent of value now comes from Rs. 3 crore-plus homes) and the always-buzzing prestige segment of MMR. Pune is charting a pragmatic, inclusive trajectory, one that delivers strong investor returns while still providing options for varied buyer cohorts.

Girish Kamble, CEO - West, Tribeca Developers "At Tribeca, our experience in Pune has taught us that the city’s demand for high-quality housing continues to evolve in tandem with its growing urban infrastructure and thriving corporate ecosystem. We witnessed this firsthand when we launched the final tower of our luxury project, The Ark, selling 40 percent of the inventory within just a few weeks.

Pune’s real estate market has shown remarkable resilience, with average housing prices reaching an all-time high in 2024, reflecting a double-digit growth. Over the past five years, the city has consistently demonstrated a 40 percent price appreciation and a robust absorption of over 85,000 homes annually. This performance firmly establishes Pune as a preferred destination for discerning homebuyers seeking both value and quality."
