Real Estate Mumbai:Residential real estate transactions in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) witnessed a 7% year-on-year growth, reaching 52,745 during the July-September quarter of the current year, according to a report by proptech startup Square Yards. The total registered home sales value also saw a 10% annual increase, totaling ₹48,409 crore. This pushed the average home sales value in the region to nearly ₹1 crore, a 3% increase compared to the same period last year.

Ganesh Devadiga, Sales Director at Square Yards, stated, 'Our insights indicate that demand continues to span across all price brackets, with both peripheral and core suburbs demonstrating sustained activity. Our outlook for the region remains highly optimistic, as the upcoming festivals, such as Dussehra and Diwali, along with developer-driven schemes and offers, are expected to further bolster buyer sentiment.' He added, 'Additionally, recent infrastructure upgrades and the key ones underway are poised to enhance connectivity and overall livability in Mumbai MMR, providing a strong boost to the region’s real estate sector.'
