The year 2022 is likely to break several existing records in the Pune housing market. It is all set to create newer benchmarks in terms of connectivity, infrastructure, projects, neighborhood improvements, amenities, corporate positioning and more such important options that buyers look at before making the purchase decision and developers look at before making an investment.
 
Firstly on a state level the Maharashtra government extended the time of availing the stamp duty waiver to three years for resale properties in March 2022. Thus, the rest of 2022 has been slated to give the sector the much-needed boost for which it has waited and worked so hard.
We are now midway through the year and the reports are clear. Covid permitting we can expect a massive 20 to 30% increase on value on residential properties in the coming fiscal year.
 
“The rise in residential demand across 13 India cities is reflective of economic recovery and income stabilization. This is also fuelled by families returning to metros as offices and educational institutions reopen. While growing inflation, disruption of the global supply chain and increase in input cost of materials & mortgage rates are pushing up the prices, overall we are seeing buyer’s confidence and expect India’s residential market to continue growing over the next few quarters as well.” shared Sudhir Pai, CEO, Magicbricks.
