Anuj Puri, Chairman of Anarock, attributed the surge to the Dussehra and Diwali festivals, which occurred in the same month. 'Both these festivals are traditionally considered auspicious times for property purchases,' Puri noted. The alignment of these festivals in October has encouraged many buyers to make their moves, leading to an unusual surge in sales activity.
Typically, the third quarter is a relatively quiet period for Mumbai's real estate market. However, the festive season has invigorated the market, with buyers taking advantage of the auspicious timing. This trend is not just limited to high-end properties; even mid-range and affordable housing segments are witnessing a boost.
Anarock's report further suggests that the buyer sentiment is positive, driven by a combination of factors including lower interest rates, government incentives, and the psychological impact of the festivals. Puri added, 'The festive season has a profound impact on the real estate market, as people often plan their purchases around these times.'
The surge in property registrations is not just a short-term trend. Many experts believe that this momentum will continue into the coming months, as economic conditions remain favorable and the festive spirit lingers. For real estate developers and brokers, this is a welcome sign, indicating a robust recovery in the market.
In conclusion, the festive season has played a crucial role in boosting property registrations in Mumbai. The alignment of Dussehra and Diwali in October has created a perfect storm, driving a 29 percent increase in property sales. This trend is expected to have a positive ripple effect on the overall real estate market in the city.
