YoY Comparison (Aug 2024 vs Aug 2025):

• Registrations: -3%
• Stamp duty: -19%

Year-to-Date (Jan–Aug 2025): Best in Four Years

Despite the softer August, Pune’s market showed strength in the first eight months of 2025, posting the highest volumes and revenues in four years.

YoY Change (2025 vs 2024): +13% registrations, +15% revenue

Affordable Homes Drive Demand

The sub-₹25 lakh housing category was the standout performer in August 2025, recording 3,975 registrations, a 17% YoY increase.

At the same time, the premium segment (₹1 crore and above) also expanded its share from 15% to 16%, underscoring stronger appetite for larger and high-value homes.

Share of Ticket Sizes in Transactions

Larger Homes and Smaller Units Gain Traction

Buyer preferences reflected a dual trend:

• Larger homes above 800 sq. ft. maintained steady demand (33% share vs 32% last year).
• Compact homes below 500 sq. ft. saw a surge, rising from 22% to 27% YoY.

Central Pune Dominates, But West Expands

• Central Pune (Haveli Taluka, PMC, PCMC) remained the largest contributor with 68% of transactions in August 2025, though slightly lower than last year (72%).
• West Pune (Mawal, Mulshi, Velhe) strengthened to 17% share, while South and East Pune also showed small gains.

Expert View

Shishir Baijal, Chairman & MD, Knight Frank India, said:

“While Pune’s property market reflected some moderation in registrations and revenues compared to the same period last year, the overall demand momentum remains intact. Strength in affordable housing, alongside steady appetite for premium and larger homes, highlights Pune’s diverse buyer base. The resilience in year-to-date volumes and revenues underscores the depth of demand even amid evolving conditions.”

Live Viewing and Transparency Measures

To accommodate the overwhelming response, arrangements have been made for live viewing of the lottery results through LED screens at the venue.

The lottery is conducted entirely online using the Integrated Housing Lottery Management System (IHLMS) 2.0, ensuring transparency and eliminating human intervention. Only verified applicants are included in the draw.

Post-Lottery Process and Fraud Advisory

Winners will receive intimation letters and, upon fulfilling the required conditions, will be issued provisional allotment letters. MHADA has warned citizens about fraudulent activities, emphasizing that flats are allocated only through the official online lottery process.

Instances of fraud, such as false promises of flat allocation and collection of money by unauthorized individuals, have been reported to the Bhosari Police Station in Pimpri-Chinchwad. MHADA has clarified that no agents or intermediaries are authorized to act on its behalf. Citizens are urged to verify information only through MHADA’s official websites, mhada.gov.in and housing.mhada.gov.in, or by contacting the Pune Board office directly.

Marketing agencies have been appointed for specific locations, including Dive, Saswad, Pimpri Waghere, Mahalunge Ingale, and Tathawade, to handle the First-Come, First-Served distribution of flats. However, applicants are advised to confirm details with the Estate Manager, Pune Board, before proceeding with any transactions.

Rahul Sakore has urged citizens to remain vigilant and report any fraudulent activities to their nearest police station immediately.

The computerized lottery initiative by MHADA aims to provide affordable housing with complete transparency, a step welcomed enthusiastically by citizens.
