Mumbai's Real Estate Market on Fire: Records Best-Ever July Performance
Real Estate News:The country's commercial capital, Mumbai, has sustained its record-breaking streak in the property market, with July being the best-ever month on record. The city witnessed over 12,129 property registrations during the month, a whopping 19% increase from last year. This outstanding performance has led to the state exchequer fetching revenue worth over Rs 1,047 crore through stamp duty collection, a 26% on-year increase.

According to data from the Inspector General of Registration (IGR) and Controller of Stamps, Maharashtra, Mumbai has continued to set new records in the real estate market, driven by brisk sales activity and high demand, despite higher mortgage rates and a steady rise in property prices.

Industry experts believe that 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.

The surge in Mumbai property transactions is 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.

Market sentiment is positive, and experts 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 this 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.

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. 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.
