Pune property market in 2026

Pune's property prices have caught up significantly in 2024-26. Hinjewadi, Wakad, Baner, and Kharadi see most demand — 2BHK runs ₹70 lakh-1.1 crore. Outer suburbs (Pimpri-Chinchwad, Hadapsar) offer ₹50-75 lakh.

Stamp duty is the same 6-7% as Maharashtra/Mumbai. With salaries 70-80% of Mumbai's at 40-60% of Mumbai's property prices, Pune is mathematically more buy-favourable than Mumbai for similar lifestyle.

What this means

At ₹1,05,000 net income with ₹0 existing EMIs and a 45% FOIR cap, you can support a max EMI of ₹47,250. That maps to a ₹52.5 lakh loan over 20 years at 9%. Adding your ₹17,00,000 down payment gives a max home price of ₹69,51,599. For comfort, aim for the 85% mark — about ₹59,08,859.

* Stamp duty (5-8%) and registration are NOT financed by the home loan and must come from your savings on top of the down payment.

* FOIR is bank-side; banks may approve 50-55% FOIR for high credit scores. Lower it to 35-40% if your job/income is volatile.
