This uptick in revenue is attributed to a rise in transactions in the ₹5 crore and above segment. About 80% of all registrations in the month attributed to residential properties.
Shishir Baijal, chairman & managing director of Knight Frank India, said, “In May 2025, Mumbai's residential market saw a 4% YoY decline in property registrations, as properties priced between ₹1–5 crore recorded a slowdown in sales momentum.”
On a year-to-date basis, Mumbai recorded a 24% year-on-year increase in registrations, totaling 64,461 properties, and a 17% rise in revenue, with stamp duty collections exceeding ₹5,696 crore.
Registrations for properties priced above ₹5 crore increased from 5% in May 2024 to 7% in May 2025. In contrast, the mid-priced segments, particularly those between ₹1 crore to ₹5 crore, witnessed a decline in share.
Properties up to 1,000 sq ft continue to lead in registrations. Apartments up to 1,000 sq ft continued to dominate Mumbai’s residential registrations in May 2025, accounting for 83% of all transactions—unchanged from the previous year. Within this category, the 500–1,000 sq ft range remained the most preferred, with a 44% share.
However, larger homes witnessed growing interest: units measuring 1,000–2,000 sq ft saw a marginal increase in share from 13% to 14%, while those over 2,000 sq ft rose from 2% to 3%.
This trend highlights a steady, if gradual, shift in buyer appetite toward more spacious living, even as compact homes continue to lead in overall volumes.
