3. Pune: The next biggest real estate hub in Maharashtra after Mumbai, Pune offers everything from luxury homes and affordable housing units to office and commercial spaces for investment purposes. Bordered by rapidly developing areas like Hinjewadi, Wakad and Tathawade, Pune has thousands of acres of real estate projects going on everywhere around it, and the time is right to make an investment here. The corporate hubs around western Pune have led to a surge in the working population looking to invest in residential property in Pune, and thus predict a steady rise in real estate prices.
