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.
In terms of property sizes, there was a noticeable increase in the registration of apartments measuring between 500 sq. ft. and 1,000 sq. ft., accounting for 46% of all property registrations. The share of western suburbs has fallen from 58% in June, 2023 to 49% in June, 2024, while Central Suburbs has recorded a jump in share as compared to June 2023.
Dhaval Ajmera, Director of Ajmera Realty & Indra India Ltd, attributed the upward trajectory of housing demand to the connectivity boost across the city, along with the redevelopment boom redefining the skyline of the financial capital.
