Pune Residential Market Highlights – Q3 2025

Pune’s residential sales volume in Q3 2025 was 12,118 units, an 8% YoY decline compared to the base period.

Despite the moderation in sales volume, the city’s residential prices saw a steady 5% YoY increase. This was driven by a continued preference for larger and more premium homes, reflecting the overall trend of premiumisation in the market.

P Vilas, National Director – Occupier Strategy & Solutions, Industrial & Logistics, Capital Markets, and Branch Head (Pune), Knight Frank India, said , “Pune’s residential market is undergoing a phase of recalibration after the strong growth seen in 2024. Premium housing continues to drive momentum, and with supportive policies and infrastructure upgrades, the city’s residential sector is poised for steady performance in the medium term.”

Pune Office Market Highlights – Q3 2025

Despite facing a moderate 9% YoY decline in transaction volumes due to the strong base of Q3 2024, Pune’s office market remained steady in Q3 2025 with 0.22 mn sq m (2.3 mn sq ft) transacted. Importantly, the city’s year-to-date leasing activity registered a 7% growth, highlighting the consistent occupier appetite.

On the supply front, 1.1 mn sq ft of new office space was delivered during the quarter, marking a 60% YoY decline. This pullback in supply, along with resilient demand, is reflected in the strong double-digit growth in office rentals seen during the quarter.

Mr. Vilas further added, “Pune’s office market continues to display resilience with YTD growth of 7%. Occupier demand remains healthy, led by global capability centres (GCCs) and flex space operators that see Pune as a cost-effective hub with strong talent availability. With rentals moving upward by 4% YoY, the city continues to cement its position as a preferred occupier market in India.”
