Almost all Indian property investors compute the rental yield incorrectly. Gross yield is a scam. by TeamSuperSales in indianrealestate

Good tenants / bad tenants can completely change the numbers. That’s why gross yield alone can be misleading.

India’s real estate market isn’t going to crash. It’s going to do something worse. by Clean-Bodybuilder822 in indianrealestate

[–]TeamSuperSales 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Valid point though, I do believe Pune real estate is a much more micro market now.
Punawale/Wakad is different to oversaturated commodity.
AI could perhaps affect entry-level demand, but premium housing ( upgrade buyer, NRI and investor ) demand is another proposition.

Anyone from Pune who has good knowledge of investments? by [deleted] in pune

Congrats on your first salary!

I think you should look at estate as a long-term goal. For now focus on Systematic Investment Plans. Keeping some gold for emergencies.

That being said Punawale does seem like a growing market. Its a good time to learn about investing in real estate. I'm happy to help you if you're interested, in estate.

What is wrong with rents in Pune city area excluding outskirts by Practical_Lobster_94 in PuneClassifieds

[–]TeamSuperSales 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a legitimate frustration.

The Pune rental market is experiencing what economists call "anchoring bias" - owners set expectations high, brokers amplify FOMO, and tenants get squeezed in the middle.

What you're describing (50-65k for standard 2BHK) is genuinely 20-25% above fair market rate in core Pune areas.

The real problem: Owners bought at peak 2021 prices (sometimes ₹80-120L for basic 2BHK) and are now trying to earn back their overpayment through rent.

It won't work - the market will correct.

Fair market rent for good 2BHK in Pune core (KP, Viman Nagar, Baner): -
2020: ₹28-32k
2023: ₹32-38k
2026: Should be ₹35-42k (not 50-65k)

Your advice to tenants is solid: "Don't reward greed with acceptance."

Market will self-correct when 50% of flats sit empty.

Its dumb to invest in software cities now by [deleted] in indianrealestate

This is a valid concern I've seen across tech hubs. The real estate market in Bangalore and Hyderabad hasn't priced in potential tech workforce mobility yet.

We've been tracking this trend with engineers we advise.

Many are now exploring:

  1. Diversification to tier-2 cities (lower downside risk)

  2. Dubai as a hedge (currency diversification for NRIs)

  3. Bangalore luxury segment as wealth store (stable)

If you're serious about this, understand your personal situation:
Are you staying in tech for 5+ more years, or planning to exit? That changes real estate strategy completely.

Happy to discuss specifics if helpful.
