Mumbai Property Market Soars to New Heights in 2025
Mumbai's property market achieved record-breaking performance in 2025, with over 1,11,388 registrations and stamp duty revenues crossing ₹10,000 crore in the first nine months. This surge is driven by robust housing demand, major infrastructure projects, and premium launches.

Record-breaking registrations
Mumbai registered 1,11,388 property transactions in the first nine months of 2025, the highest since records began being closely tracked. This represents a 5.5% increase over 2024 (1,05,607 registrations) and an 18.1% jump over 2023 (94,307 registrations). When compared to pre-pandemic levels, the growth is even more significant. Registrations in 2025 are more than double the 2019 tally of 50,045 (a 122.6% rise) and nearly four times higher than 2020 levels, when only 28,822 registrations were recorded due to the pandemic.
Revenues cross ₹10,000 crore milestone
Stamp duty and registration fee collections, a key revenue stream for the state exchequer, also mirrored this buoyancy. Between January and September 2025, revenues hit a record ₹10,094.22 crore, surpassing the ₹10,000 crore mark for the first time. This represents a 13.7% year-on-year increase from ₹8,876.42 crore in the same period of 2024 and a staggering 421% surge from 2020, when revenues had plummeted to ₹1,937.32 crore. For the government, this spike underscores the sector’s fiscal importance, as real estate stamp duty now contributes a significant portion of Maharashtra’s revenue pool.
September surges ahead
September 2025 was particularly robust, with 11,744 registrations generating ₹1,256.1 crore in revenues, according to IGR data. This represents a sharp increase from September 2024 (9,111 registrations, ₹876.7 crore) and is the highest single-month tally in the post-pandemic period. Analysts attribute this momentum to festive-season buying and end-of-quarter developer push strategies.
From slump to surge: The recovery journey
The numbers tell a story of steady recovery and strong growth over the past six years:
- 2019–2020: Pandemic disruption caused registrations and revenues to fall sharply.
- 2021: Early signs of revival appeared, with registrations rebounding to 86,072 and revenues topping ₹4,252 crore.
- 2022: Collections crossed ₹6,600 crore, up 55% from the previous year, showing renewed buyer interest.
- 2023–2024: The market stabilized and accelerated, with back-to-back records in both registrations and revenues.
- 2025: With revenues already past the ₹10,000 crore threshold, the year is poised to be the most successful ever.
Why the boom?
Industry experts point to multiple converging factors behind Mumbai’s record-breaking real estate performance:
- Robust Housing Demand: End-user interest, particularly in mid- to premium-segment housing, remains strong.
- Infrastructure Push: Major projects such as the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link, Metro network expansion, and coastal road connectivity have boosted buyer confidence.
- Premium Project Launches: Developers have rolled out larger, high-quality projects, attracting both domestic and NRI buyers.
- Policy Stability: A stable regulatory and taxation environment has added predictability for investors.
- Affordability & Financing: Stable mortgage rates and attractive payment plans continue to support demand.
Anuj Puri, Chairman of ANAROCK Group, believes the market is now structurally stronger than in the past. “This sustained growth is due to a combination of robust housing demand, accelerated infrastructure development, premium project launches, and stable policy frameworks. With 2025 already surpassing the ₹10,000 crore milestone in just nine months, the year is firmly on track to become the most successful ever for property registrations and collections,” Puri said.
He added that the resilience of the sector, supported by both end-user purchases and investor confidence, is creating the foundation for continued expansion in the years ahead.
Outlook: More upside ahead?
With festive demand still to play out in the final quarter of the calendar year, analysts expect both registrations and revenues to scale further highs by December. The pace of launches in premium and luxury housing, combined with sustained demand in affordable and mid-segment homes, could keep the momentum going. If current trends hold, 2025 is likely to go down as a watershed year for Mumbai real estate — not just for the records broken, but for the long-term market confidence it signals.
