The increase in property registrations is attributed to several factors, including government initiatives, a decrease in interest rates, and a growing demand for affordable housing. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) and the state government have been actively working to streamline the approval processes, making it easier for developers to launch new projects. Additionally, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has been consistently cutting interest rates, which has made home loans more affordable for potential buyers.
The real estate sector in Mumbai has been under pressure due to the economic slowdown and the impact of the pandemic. However, the recent increase in registrations is a positive indicator that the market is gradually picking up. Knight Frank’s report also highlights that the suburban areas of Mumbai have seen a higher percentage of registrations compared to the city center, which is a trend being observed across major Indian cities.
