The Western and Central Suburbs of Mumbai continue to be the preferred choices for property buyers

Property registrations in the Mumbai real estate market grew by more than 16% to touch 12,160 in July 2024 from 10,221 a year earlier, according to the data shared by the Inspector General of Registration and Controller of Stamps of Maharashtra and Knight Frank India. In June 2024, a total of 11,673 property registrations were reported in the Mumbai real estate market. The revenue generated from these transactions amounted to Rs 1,055 crore, a 27% rise from the previous year.

"The steady growth in property registrations in Mumbai during the first seven months of 2024 showcases the city's robust real estate market. Despite higher property prices, buyer confidence remains high, driven by economic prosperity, a growing preference for homeownership, and favourable interest rates," says Shishir Baijal, Chairman & Managing Director of Knight Frank India.
