Monthly Performance Overview
In April 2025, Pune recorded 14,421 property registrations, marking a 1% increase compared to April 2024. However, this figure represents a 41% decline from March 2025, which saw a surge due to the financial year-end rush. Stamp duty collections mirrored this trend, totaling ₹547 crore in April, down from ₹566 crore in the same month last year and significantly lower than March's ₹960 crore. These fluctuations align with historical patterns, where March typically experiences heightened activity followed by a slowdown in April. (Ghar.tv)
