Stamp duty collections in November 2024 surged by 30% compared to the same month last year, reflecting a significant rise in high-value transactions. Properties priced at ₹2 crore and above accounted for 23% of total registrations, up from 17% in November 2023. This segment alone saw 2,147 properties registered, highlighting the growing interest in premium housing.
Conversely, the share of properties priced below ₹50 lakh decreased from 28% to 20%, indicating a shift in buyer preferences. Industry analysts attribute this trend to evolving aspirations, rising incomes, and increasing investor confidence in Mumbai’s real estate ecosystem. The city’s luxury housing market has also been positively impacted by favorable policies and ongoing infrastructure development.
Prashant Sharma, President of NAREDCO Maharashtra, commented, “The 5% year-on-year growth in registrations and the substantial rise in stamp duty collections underscore the strength of Mumbai’s real estate market. The growing demand for premium properties reflects changing buyer priorities and a maturing market. It is crucial to support this momentum with policies that incentivize investments in high-value housing and continue enhancing urban infrastructure.”
Experts suggest that the slight decline in registrations from October to November may be due to the conclusion of a strong festive season and state elections. However, the broader trend of increasing interest in premium properties indicates sustained optimism in the market. This data highlights the dynamic nature of Mumbai’s real estate sector, where high-value properties are increasingly driving growth and reshaping the housing market landscape.
