July 1, 2024: Mumbai recorded approximately 11,443 property registrations in June 2024, contributing over Rs 986 crore to the state exchequer, mentioned a Knight Frank report. Compared to the same period last year, property registrations have risen by 11% year-on-year (YoY), and revenues from these registrations have increased by 15% YoY, the report mentioned.
According to the Knight Frank report, strong buyer confidence in Mumbai has kept property sales above the 10,000 mark in the first half of the year. The market has seen consistent yearly growth in registrations for eleven months since August 2023. In June 2024, Mumbai experienced the highest number of property registrations for any June month in the past 12 years. This upsurge can be attributed to rising economic prosperity and a favourable sentiment towards homeownership.

While property registrations in the city saw YoY growth in June, the average recorded registrations of 12,044 units in the first six months were notably higher than the twelve-month average of 10,578 units.

Additionally, the average government revenue collection in the first six months of 2024, amounting to Rs 974 crore, were 8% higher than the average of Rs 906 crore witnessed in CY 2023. The rise in revenue can be credited to several contributing factors, such as the higher volume and value of properties being registered.
Shishir Baijal, chairman & managing director, Knight Frank India, said, “The continuous year-on-year growth in property sale registrations underscores the resilience of Mumbai’s real estate market. In the backdrop of higher property prices, home registrations have maintained their momentum, reflecting the market’s strong appetite and confidence buyers have in the country’s economic trajectory. This positive trend is expected to persist, driven by strong GDP growth, rising income levels, and a favourable interest rate environment, creating an encouraging atmosphere for potential buyers”.
