On average, 578 units were registered daily during Navratri 2024, up from 510 units per day in the same period last year. The daily revenue also witnessed an uptick, rising from Rs 48 crore per day in Navratri 2023 to Rs 56 crore per day in 2024. This trend underscores the robustness of the real estate market in Mumbai, a city known for its dynamic property landscape.
Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director of Knight Frank India, commented, 'The festival season has sparked renewed sales momentum, leading to a sharp rise in property registrations. September 2024 saw lower volumes as homebuyers typically avoid making major purchases during the Shraddh period, when buying new things is considered inauspicious. However, Navratri brought a positive shift in sentiment, driven by stable interest rates and a growing demand for premium properties. Revenue collection during Navratri 2024 increased by 15.2%.'
In September 2024, the city registered a total of 9,111 property transactions, averaging 304 units per day. The decline in registrations during this month was primarily due to the Shraddh period, observed between September 18 and October 2, when homebuyers are reluctant to make new purchases. This seasonal dip is a common trend in the real estate market of Mumbai and other parts of Maharashtra.
Baijal expects the registration volumes to remain strong, supported by steady sales, gradually increasing property prices, and stable interest rates as the festive season continues into Diwali. The festive period is traditionally a time of heightened activity in the real estate sector, as buyers take advantage of favorable conditions and auspicious timing.
