The monsoon affects Mumbai's real estate market by reducing site visits due to heavy rains and waterlogging, which hampers mobility and decision-making among prospective buyers.
Key areas affected by waterlogging in Mumbai include Gandhi Market in Sion, Hindmata in Dadar, and Milan Subway in Vile Parle.
Properties in flood-prone zones often see a 10–20% decline in both capital and rental values compared to areas unaffected by monsoon-related issues.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is working to improve the stormwater drainage system to mitigate the impact of monsoon-related waterlogging and flooding.
Property registrations typically dip during the July–September quarter, the peak monsoon period, and recover in the October–December quarter. This is largely due to reduced mobility and fewer site visits during heavy rains.
