Knight Frank India Chairman and Managing Director Shishir Baijal said, "Pune's property market continues to exhibit steady registrations, adapting to evolving buyer preferences and market conditions".

Commenting on the data, Rohit Gera, Managing Director of Pune-based Gera Developments, said the registrations in November typically result from sales made in September.

"There has been a marginal slowdown in sales as a result of increased prices as well as increased sizes of homes, taking the total home prices to the boundary of affordability. The other reason for the month's slowdown in numbers could be because of the change in dates of the festive season each year. To tell whether this is an aberration or a trend would take a few months," Gera said.

InfraMantra Director and co-founder Garvit Tiwari said, "The drop in property registration in Pune in November is not symptomatic of any weakness in the market".

"It continues to display strong demand from property seekers, and any drop may be due to high base effect," he said.

Last year, Tiwari said, the housing market witnessed record-high property sales across Indian cities.

"Strong infrastructure growth, affordability, employment opportunities and homeownership sentiments have been the strong drivers for the Pune housing market," he added.
