The August performance reflected a 3% year-on-year (YoY) dip in registrations and a 6% decline in revenue compared to August 2024. On a sequential basis, registrations and stamp duty collections both contracted by 11% month-on-month (MoM), mirroring seasonal moderation after a relatively strong July.
Year-to-Date Momentum Remains Strong
Despite the August slowdown, the broader momentum in 2025 remains intact. From January to August 2025, the city clocked 99,869 property registrations, marking a 3% YoY growth. Revenue collections during the same period stood at ₹8,854 crore, an 11% increase from the previous year, underscoring the continued buoyancy in Mumbai’s housing market.
This performance builds on a decade-long upward trend in property transactions. Registrations have risen steadily from 44,583 units in 2013 to nearly 1 lakh units in 2025 (YTD). Revenue collections have followed a similar trajectory, climbing from ₹2,434 crore in 2013 to over ₹8,800 crore this year, reflecting both price appreciation and sustained buyer appetite.
Residential Properties Dominate Demand
Residential demand remained the backbone of Mumbai’s real estate market, accounting for 80% of all registrations in August. Compact apartments continued to drive sales, with units up to 1,000 sq. ft forming 85% of total registrations. Within this segment, homes in the 500–1,000 sq. ft category emerged as the most popular choice, balancing affordability with practical living space for end-users.
The luxury segment also showed steady traction. Properties priced above ₹5 crore accounted for 6% of registrations, an increase from 5% a year earlier. Meanwhile, the ₹1–2 crore segment remained stable at 31%, while mid-market homes in the ₹2–5 crore bracket slipped from 19% in 2024 to 16% this year, a trend analysts say needs to be monitored for persistence.
Suburbs Lead Transaction Activity
The suburban belt remained the epicentre of market activity. The Western Suburbs contributed 54% of total registrations, followed by the Central Suburbs at 32%. Collectively, they accounted for 86% of all transactions in August. South Mumbai’s share stood at 7%, while Central Mumbai slipped from 11% in August 2024 to 7% in August 2025.
Expert Insights
Commenting on the market performance, Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director of Knight Frank India, said: "Mumbai’s housing market has remained consistent in 2025, with monthly registrations staying above 11,000 and revenue collections crossing ₹1,000 crore. While August saw a modest 3% dip, the city remains firmly on track, inching towards the 100,000-registration milestone for the year. Demand for homes up to 1,000 sq. ft continues to remain resilient, and transactions in the ₹5 crore-plus segment have also held steady. Together, these trends underline the strength of end-user activity and the market’s enduring momentum."
Outlook
With registrations consistently crossing the 11,000 mark each month this year, industry experts expect Mumbai to comfortably breach the 1 lakh registration milestone in 2025, reinforcing its position as India’s most active property market. Sustained demand in the compact housing segment, coupled with steady traction in luxury homes, suggests the city’s housing market is on a firm growth trajectory, despite occasional monthly fluctuations.
