Over the years Pune has outgrown as a hot IT destination. Given the mount-top salaries enjoyed by young software professionals, it has zoomed the property prices. A place costing Rs.1500 in area like Kalyani Nagar now quotes at around Rs. 2700 - Rs.3000 per sq. feet. That's almost a 100% appreciation in a year's time. Kharadi is an fast upcoming area, which looks good from the investment perspective. I guess this area would fully develop in a span of 4-5 years. Only disadvantage that it has is, it is 9-10 kms away from the station. But, folks who do not have much to do with plying to station area frequently can seriously consider this option.
To me Alandi road area near RTO also looks good. It has Golf Course in it's vicinity. Pune station is just 5 kms away while Shivajinagar, Deccan and Kalyani nagar are almost at 3 kms distance. If you are planning to drive down to Mumbai, it has a more convenient route to follow to the expressway. And last but not the least, even the rates are not too high, given the openess and the location that it enjoys. Military establishment called ‘Bombay Sappers’ surrounds this area. This won't allow much of a construction activity while retaining it's natural aesthetics. People from Mumbai can definitely consider this for investment.

There is a mad rush for Pune Realty. NRI's and foreign investors see India and Pune as one of the best investment destinations. Pune has the potential to grow like no other. Pune real estate will outperform all other cities in terms of growth. The best part is that this is backed by fundamental growth of IT, ITeS, BPO, Automobile and Auto ancillary units in Pune. Seeing the strong growth of India, The world's biggest and best companies are making a beeline to India, and Pune presents the best settings in every way for these companies.

Hi SFK<
I don't think there is a mad rush ANYMORE. With builders raising prices at their whims, new construction sites are now vacant for a good long time. (Mar-11, 2008). With the subprime crisis and no extension of the tax benefits to the IT industry the whole thing is gonna crash just like the US subprime crisis.
Want to share small story i read somewhere.
Read and wake up before it is too late -
Once there was a little island country. The land of this country was the tiny island itself. The total money in circulation was 2 dollars as there were only two pieces of 1 dollar coins circulating around.
1) There were 3 citizens living on this island country. A owned the land. B and C each owned 1 dollar.
2) B decided to purchase the land from A for 1 dollar. So, now A and C own 1 dollar each while B owned a piece of land that is worth 1 dollar.
* The net asset of the country now = 3 dollars.
3) Now C thought that since there is only one piece of land in the country, and land is non producible asset, its value must definitely go up. So, he borrowed 1 dollar from A, and together with his own 1 dollar, he bought the land from B for 2 dollars.
*A has a loan to C of 1 dollar, so his net asset is 1 dollar.
* B sold his land and got 2 dollars, so his net asset is 2 dollars.
* C owned the piece of land worth 2 dollars but with his 1 dollar debt to A, his net residual asset is 1 dollar.
* Thus, the net asset of the country = 4 dollars.
4) A saw that the land he once owned has risen in value. He regretted having sold it. Luckily, he has a 1 dollar loan to C. He then borrowed 2 dollars from B and acquired the land back from C for 3 dollars. The payment is by 2 dollars cash (which he borrowed) and cancellation of the 1 dollar loan to C. As a result, A now owned a piece of land that is worth 3 dollars. But since he owed B 2 dollars, his net asset is 1 dollar.
* B loaned 2 dollars to A. So his net asset is 2 dollars.
* C now has the 2 coins. His net asset is also 2 dollars.
* The net asset of the country = 5 dollars. A bubble is building up.
(5) B saw that the value of land kept rising. He also wanted to own the land. So he bought the land from A for 4 dollars. The payment is by borrowing 2 dollars from C, and cancellation of his 2 dollars loan to A.
* As a result, A has got his debt cleared and he got the 2 coins. His net asset is 2 dollars.
* B owned a piece of land that is worth 4 dollars, but since he has a debt of 2 dollars with C, his net Asset is 2 dollars.
* C loaned 2 dollars to B, so his net asset is 2 dollars.
* The net asset of the country = 6 dollars; even though, the country has only one piece of land and 2 Dollars in circulation.
(6) Everybody has made money and everybody felt happy and prosperous.
(7) One day an evil wind blew, and an evil thought came to C’s mind. “Hey, what if the land price stop going up, how could B repay my loan. There is only 2 dollars in circulation, and, I think after all the land that B owns is worth at most only 1 dollar, and no more.”
(8) A also thought the same way.
(9) Nobody wanted to buy land anymore.
* So, in the end, A owns the 2 dollar coins, his net asset is 2 dollars.
* B owed C 2 dollars and the land he owned which he thought worth 4 dollars is now 1 dollar. So his net asset is only 1 dollar.
* C has a loan of 2 dollars to B. But it is a bad debt. Although his net asset is still 2 dollars, his Heart is palpitating.
* The net asset of the country = 3 dollars again.
(10) So, who has stolen the 3 dollars from the country ? Of course, before the bubble burst B thought his land was worth 4 dollars. Actually, right before the collapse, the net asset of the country was 6 dollars on paper. B’s net asset is still 2 dollars, his heart is palpitating.
(11) B had no choice but to declare bankruptcy. C as to relinquish his 2 dollars bad debt to B, but in return he acquired the land which is worth 1 dollar now.
* A owns the 2 coins, his net asset is 2 dollars.
* B is bankrupt, his net asset is 0 dollar. ( he lost everything )
* C got no choice but end up with a land worth only 1 dollar
* The net asset of the country = 3 dollars.
