The Knight Frank India’s India Real Estate – Office and Residential Market (July–December 2024) report highlights a surge in real estate activities, driven by robust demand, new project launches, and transformative infrastructure developments.
The city saw a remarkable sale of 96,187 residential units, marking a 13-year high with an 11% year-on-year (YoY) increase.
The second half of the year alone witnessed the sale of 48,928 units, fueled by festive season demand and the launch of new projects.
Developers responded to the heightened buyer interest by introducing 96,470 new units, the highest supply since 2014, which also led to a 5% rise in average residential prices.
Peripheral areas like Thane and the Central Suburbs emerged as hotspots for launches and sales, attracting buyers with competitive pricing and enhanced amenities.
While properties under Rs 5 million continued to dominate sales, there was a notable shift toward higher price segments.
Sales in the Rs 10–20 million bracket increased to 20%, up from 17% in 2023, and the Rs 20–50 million category saw its share rise from 6% to 10%.
Premium property sales experienced a significant surge, with the Rs 200–500 million segment witnessing a remarkable 143% YoY increase.
The Rs 50–100 million category also saw substantial growth, rising by 112%.
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 the strong demand for premium housing and ongoing infrastructure projects such as the Mumbai Coastal Road, Metro Line 3, and the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link.
These projects have significantly enhanced the city's connectivity and attractiveness for both residential and commercial investors.
In the office real estate sector, Mumbai witnessed a historic 40% YoY increase in leasing activity, reaching a total of 10.4 million sq ft of transactions—the highest in over a decade.
India-facing businesses dominated, accounting for 77% of transactions.
New office supply surged by 89% YoY to 5.8 million sq ft, with significant additions in SBD West.

Office rents grew by 3.5% YoY, with an average transacted rent of Rs 118 per sq ft per month.
