Despite a slight dip from May's 12,000 registrations, the majority of registrations were for housing properties. Buyer confidence has kept registrations above 10,000 for the first six months of 2024, with June marking the highest for any June in the past 12 years. Shishir Baijal, Knight Frank India Chairman & MD, stated that the ongoing annual growth in property sale registrations highlights the resilience of Mumbai's real estate market.
Even with higher property prices, home registrations remain robust, reflecting strong market appetite and confidence in the country's economic trajectory. According to Baijal, this positive trend is expected to continue, fueled by strong GDP growth, rising incomes, and favorable interest rates.
Akhil Saraf, founder and CEO of proptech firm Reloy, commented on the sustained demand from both end-users and investors. He believes that the increase in stamp duty and registration fee revenue also points to rising property prices. Yet, demand stays strong, reflecting buyers' and investors' positive sentiment towards the economy and future prospects.
Developers are aligning their product launches with current market demand, and Saraf expects demand to remain strong in the mid to long-term. The Mumbai real estate market's resilience is a testament to the city's enduring appeal as a hub for economic growth and development.
