Demand rises across segments in Aug 2025

The most significant growth was noted in the under INR 25 Lakh category which formed 30% of the total properties registered in August 2025. With a total of 3,975 units registered costing up to INR 25 lakhs, the category saw a rise of 17% YoY over same time last year. In August 2024 the category recorded registrations of 3,411 units.

The share of homes priced above INR 1 crore increased from 15% in August 2024 to 16% in August 2025, underscoring stronger appetite for premium housing. Meanwhile, properties priced up to INR 1 crore eased from 85% to 84% over the same period. Even so, with this segment still making up most sales, demand remains firmly concentrated below the INR 1 crore price point, suggesting that while the top end is expanding, the market’s foundation continues to be broad-based.

Shishir Baijal, Chairman & Managing Director, Knight Frank India, stated, “While Pune’s property market reflected some moderation in registrations and revenues compared to the same period last year, the overall demand momentum remains mostly intact. The strength in affordable housing, alongside steady appetite for premium and larger homes, highlights the city’s diverse buyer base. The resilience seen in year-to-date volumes and revenues underscores the depth of demand in Pune’s housing market, even amid evolving market conditions.”

Higher demand for larger apartments sustains

The demand for larger homes has held steady, with the share of apartments above 800 sq ft inching up from 32% in August 2024 to 33% a year later. At the same time, demand at the other end of the spectrum also strengthened, as units under 500 sq ft grew from 22% to 27% over the same period, reflecting the momentum in the sub-INR 25 lakh category.
