Strong buyer confidence in Mumbai has kept property sales above the 10,000 mark in the first half of the year. The market has seen consistent yearly growth in registrations for eleven months since August 2023. In June 2024, Mumbai experienced the highest number of property registrations for any June month in the past 12 years.
The rise in property registrations can be attributed to rising economic prosperity and a favourable sentiment towards homeownership. Additionally, the average government revenue collection in the first six months of 2024 was 8% higher than the average of Rs 906 Crore witnessed in CY 2023.
The continuous year-on-year growth in property sale registrations underscores the resilience of Mumbai's real estate market. In the backdrop of higher property prices, home registrations have maintained their momentum, reflecting the market's strong appetite and confidence buyers have in the country's economic trajectory.
According to Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director of Knight Frank India, this positive trend is expected to persist, driven by strong GDP growth, rising income levels, and a favourable interest rate environment, creating an encouraging atmosphere for potential buyers.
