Mumbai Real Estate Market Sees Unprecedented Growth in July
Real Estate Mumbai:The Mumbai real estate market has continued to defy expectations, with July witnessing the best-ever performance in property registrations. According to data from the Inspector General of Registration (IGR) and Controller of Stamps, Maharashtra, over 12,129 properties were registered in July, a significant 19% increase from the same period last year. This remarkable growth has resulted in the state exchequer collecting revenue worth over Rs 1,047 crore through stamp duty collection, a 26% increase on-year.

The sustained growth in property registrations in Mumbai can be attributed to economic prosperity and a growing preference for homeownership. In July 2024, residential units made up 80% of total registrations, underscoring strong housing demand. The demand for larger homes has also increased, with apartments between 500 and 1,000 sq ft making up 49% of total registrations.

Market experts believe that the surge in Mumbai property transactions is driven by economic prosperity and a growing preference for homeownership. 'Market sentiment is positive, and we expect numbers to continue climbing in the coming months capturing the upbeat sentiment in the festive season. Infrastructure projects in Mumbai are transforming the city's landscape and the same is reflected in the property market activity,' said Chintan Sheth, CMD, Sheth Realty.

The Mumbai real estate market has experienced continuous on-year growth in registrations for 12 successive months since August 2023. During the period, the city recorded 84,653 property registrations, marking a 16% increase from a year ago, and generated 7% higher stamp duty revenue of Rs 6,929 crore. The average monthly revenue also rose 7% to Rs 987 crore in 2024, compared to Rs 922 crore last year.

The majority of property buyers in Mumbai are millennials, aged 28-43, making up a significant portion of the market. Following closely are Generation X buyers, aged 44-59, who also represent a substantial share of the transactions, reflecting the robust property demand and growing interest in homeownership.
