In 2024, the market recorded residential sales worth Rs 1.6 lakh crore, with 1,41,302 homes sold.
This surge generated Rs 12,161 crore in stamp duty revenue for the Maharashtra government, marking an 11% increase in home sales and a 12% rise in revenue compared to 2023.
December alone saw the sale of 12,193 homes, contributing Rs 1,116 crore in stamp duty.
Except for September, when sales dipped to 9,111 homes, generating Rs 876 crore, every other month saw sales crossing the 10,000 mark.
March recorded the highest sales, with 14,149 homes sold, yielding Rs 1,122 crore in stamp duty.
Property prices per square foot also saw a significant increase over the past five years.
In 2024, the average property price was Rs 14,200 per sq ft, marking a rise of around 49% from Rs 9,500 per sq ft in 2019.
Larger homes gained popularity in 2024.
Apartments sized between 1,000 and 2,000 sq ft saw their share of sales rise from 8% to 12% compared to 2023.
Homes above 2,000 sq ft maintained a steady demand of 2%.
Meanwhile, the demand for compact homes under 500 sq ft dropped significantly, with their share falling from 51% to 35%.
Suburban areas dominated the housing market, contributing to 86% of total sales.
In contrast, Mumbai city sales remained stagnant at 7% due to unaffordable property prices in high-end localities.
Tanuj Shori, founder and CEO of Square Yards, commented, “The Indian residential real estate market has entered a promising upcycle post-pandemic, bolstered by pent-up demand and a stronger sentiment for homeownership.
Over the past two to three years, the sector experienced exceptional growth, which has naturally moderated in 2024.”
Rising property values and strong demand for larger homes indicate a continued upward trajectory for Mumbai’s housing sector, solidifying its position as a resilient real estate market.
Shori added, “In 2025, we foresee residential demand and supply growing in close ranges, setting the stage for steady, sustainable progress.”
