On a Month-on-Month (MoM) basis, July reported a 7% increase compared to 11,599 properties registered in June 2025. This indicates a steady demand for properties in the city, particularly in the suburban areas.
Western and Central Suburbs continued to anchor Mumbai’s residential market, together accounting for 88% of total registrations in July 2025, up slightly from 86% a year ago. The Western Suburbs alone contributed 57%, while the Central Suburbs accounted for 31%. In contrast, South Mumbai’s share declined to 6%, indicating a relative softening in activity within the city’s traditional prime micro-markets.
The momentum of property registrations continues to be skewed towards the higher price brackets. The mid-segment, especially properties in the price range of ₹1 crore to ₹5 crore, saw a dip in the overall contribution towards registrations, according to Knight Frank India, a real estate consultancy firm that collated the data, said in its report. The share of registrations for properties priced above ₹5 crore rose from 5% in July 2024 to 6% in July 2025.
On the other hand, stamp duty collection witnessed a rise of 3% YoY, from ₹1,064 crore in July 2024 to ₹1,101 crore in July 2025. In June 2025, ₹1,035 crore was collected as stamp duty, according to the data.
According to Knight Frank India, 80% of the properties registered in July 2025 were residential units. This highlights the ongoing preference for residential properties in the city, driven by a combination of affordability and demand for compact living spaces.
On a year-to-date (YTD) basis, Mumbai recorded over 88,426 property registrations in the Jan-July period, marking a 4% YoY increase. Revenue from these registrations rose by 13% YoY to ₹7,832 crores, with both metrics recording their strongest performance since 2013 in the Jan-July period.
Properties up to 1,000 sq ft continued to dominate Mumbai’s residential real estate registrations in July 2025, accounting for 82% of all transactions, broadly stable compared to 83% in July 2024. Within this, the 500–1,000 sq ft segment remained the most popular. Larger apartments maintained their presence, with units sized 1,000–2,000 sq ft increasing by a percentage to 14% and those above 2,000 sq ft steady at 3%. The Knight Frank India report said this underscores the enduring preference for compact homes, even as a niche segment of buyers continues to explore more spacious living options.
