Mumbai's Real Estate Market Defies Odds, Witnesses Best-Ever July Performance
Real Estate Maharashtra:Mumbai, the country's largest and most expensive property market, has continued to set new records with the best-ever July performance driven by brisk sales activity and high demand, despite higher mortgage rates and steady rise in property prices. According to data from Inspector General of Registration (IGR) and Controller of Stamps, Maharashtra, the country's commercial capital witnessed over 12,129 property registrations during the month, up 19% from a year ago. This performance led to the state exchequer fetching revenue worth over Rs 1,047 crore through stamp duty collection, up 26% on-year.

The steady growth in property registrations in Mumbai during the first seven months of 2024 highlights the city's strong and resilient real estate market. This growth has translated into higher sales volumes, with consistent monthly registrations exceeding 10,000 units, resulting in a significant boost in state revenue. Despite higher property prices, buyer confidence remains high, driven by economic prosperity and a growing preference for homeownership.

The surge in Mumbai property transactions is due to economic prosperity and a growing preference for homeownership. In July 2024, residential units made up 80% of total registrations, underscoring strong housing demand. 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.

Interestingly, July saw a rise in registrations for apartments between 500 and 1,000 sq ft, making up 49% of total registrations. Meanwhile, apartments up to 500 sq ft accounted for 33%, down from 38% in July 2023, indicating a shift towards larger units. There is resilience in demand for bigger and better homes across the financial capital as the redefined connectivity network is driving the micro markets to their utmost potential.

Sustained homebuyer confidence has driven property registrations to consistently exceed the 10,000-mark for the first seven months of the year. Notably, the market has experienced continuous on-year growth in registrations for 12 successive months since August 2023. With this, Mumbai has experienced its best seven-month period, with record property registrations and revenue collections from January to July this year.
