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 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.
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. Alongside this, a strong flow of liquidity in the hands of the masses continues to empower them to upgrade their lifestyle quotient.
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.
During the same period, Mumbai registered an average of 12,093 properties per month, a 16% increase from 10,388 registrations per month in 2023. Average monthly revenue also rose 7% to Rs 987 crore in 2024, compared to Rs 922 crore last year.
Over the past few months, majority property buyers in Mumbai are millennials, aged 28-43, making up a significant portion of the market. Following closely are Generation X buyers, aged 44-59, who also represent a substantial share of the transactions, reflecting the robust property demand and growing interest in homeownership.
