According to Knight Frank India’s India Real Estate – Office and Residential Market (July–December 2024) report, the city witnessed the sale of 96,187 residential units, marking a 13-year high with an 11% year-on-year (YoY) increase.
In the second half alone, 48,928 units were sold, driven by the festive season demand and numerous new project launches.
Developers responded by introducing 96,470 new units, the highest supply since 2014, alongside a 5% rise in average residential prices.
Peripheral areas like Thane and the Central Suburbs dominated the launches and sales, attracting buyers with competitive pricing and enhanced amenities.
While properties under Rs 5 million continued to account for a large share of sales, there was a notable shift toward higher price segments.
Sales in the Rs 10–20 million bracket rose to 20%, up from 17% in 2023, and the Rs 20–50 million category saw its share climb from 6% to 10%.
Premium property sales surged, with the Rs 200–500 million segment witnessing a remarkable 143% YoY increase.
However, the ultra-luxury segment above Rs 500 million recorded a sharp 60% decline.
Gulam Zia, Senior Executive Director at Knight Frank India, attributed Mumbai’s continued growth to strong demand for premium housing and transformative infrastructure projects such as the Mumbai Coastal Road, Metro Line 3, and the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link.
In the office real estate sector, Mumbai achieved a historic 40% YoY increase in leasing activity, reaching 10.4 million sq ft of transactions—the highest in over a decade.
