Mumbai Property Market Reaches New Heights in 2024, Recording Best-Ever Performance
Real Estate Maharashtra:Mumbai, the financial capital of India, has once again proven its resilience and adaptability in the property market.
In 2024, the city recorded its best-ever annual performance, with over 1.41 lakh property registrations, surpassing the previous year's record by 11%.
The total stamp duty collection also rose by 12%, reaching over Rs 12,138 crores, as per data from the Inspector General of Registration (IGR) and Controller of Stamps, Maharashtra.

This remarkable performance is attributed to robust demand, steady economic conditions, and increased confidence among homebuyers.
Shishir Baijal, CMD of Knight Frank India, highlighted, “Mumbai’s property market continues to showcase its resilience and adaptability.
The steady rise in registrations and revenue highlights robust demand, especially for premium and spacious homes.
The property registration trend reflects evolved homebuyer preferences for quality and value, making the market a key driver of economic activity and an attractive long-term investment.”

December 2024 alone saw over 12,363 property registrations, contributing Rs 1,131 crore to the state government revenues.
This surge in activity is partly due to the significant infrastructure projects underway in the city, which are reshaping the urban landscape and driving a shift in the property market.
Chintan Sheth, CMD of Sheth Realty, noted, “Infrastructure projects in Mumbai are helping reshape the urban landscape, driving a significant shift in the property market.
These developments are fuelling a surge in realty demand, with homebuyers eager to take advantage of improved connectivity.”

Industry experts remain optimistic about the future.
Deepak Goradia, CMD of Dosti Realty, emphasized, “The outlook for the Mumbai realty market is promising, driven by several factors.
The strategic integration of infrastructure development, coupled with a renewed focus on urban planning, is improving connectivity and liveability.
Additionally, growing demand for well-connected suburban living reflects changing homebuyer preferences.
Together, these elements position the sector for sustained growth, creating a strong foundation for long-term success in the market.”

One notable trend in the market is the steady rise in the registration of higher-value properties.
In December 2024, properties priced at Rs 2 crore and above accounted for 23% of registrations, up from 18% in December 2023.
This segment saw 2,879 transactions, indicating a growing inclination toward premium real estate.
Conversely, the share of properties valued under Rs 50 lakh declined from 30% to 25%, signaling a shift in buyer preferences towards higher-value segments.

The demand for larger homes has also increased.
Apartments ranging from 1,000–2,000 sq ft grew in popularity, with their share rising from 8% to 12%, while the share of those over 2,000 sq ft remained stable at 2%.
Smaller units up to 500 sq ft saw a sharp decline in registrations, falling from 51% to 35%, further highlighting the growing preference for spacious homes.

With the combination of favorable economic conditions, improved infrastructure, and evolving buyer preferences, Mumbai's property market is well-positioned to sustain its growth trajectory into 2025.
