According to a report by Knight Frank India, this surge in sales is a testament to the city's robust demand for premium and luxury housing units.
Overall, 96,187 housing units were sold in 2024, a significant jump from the 86,871 units sold in 2023.
The report highlighted that the launches mirrored the sales trends, with developers focusing on the ₹5 to ₹10 crore and ₹20 to ₹50 crore ranges.
Gulam Zia, Senior Executive Director at Knight Frank India, stated, 'Mumbai’s residential market continues its steady growth, driven by sustained demand for premium housing and transformative infrastructure developments.
Key infrastructure projects like the Mumbai Coastal Road and Metro Lines have greatly improved connectivity, fueling demand in suburban areas.'
The luxury housing segment, specifically the ₹20-50 crore range, experienced a remarkable 143% surge in sales in 2024.
Housing sales in the ₹10-20 crore segment more than doubled to 360 units last year.
The report also noted a shift towards homes priced in the ₹1-2 crore range, with its share increasing to 20% in 2024 from 17% in 2023.
The ₹2-5 crore range saw an increase in share from 6% in 2023 to 10% in 2024.
Among the eight cities in the country, Mumbai led in residential sales for units priced in the ₹20-50 crore range.
The segment saw an annual growth of 143% YoY, with 192 units sold in 2024 compared to 79 units in 2023.
The sales in the ₹5-10 crore category grew by 112% YoY to 1,866 units, and the ₹10-20 crore category grew by 68% YoY to 360 units in 2024.

Vivek Rathi, head of research at Knight Frank, highlighted that while sales surged in the ₹1-2 crore segment, 2024 saw a major supply in higher ticket sizes.
'Most of the HNI buyers are not first-time homebuyers.
In this segment, we mostly saw a majority of investment in under-construction projects and a small portion of redevelopment projects (about 5-7%),' he said.
