India Sotheby’s International Realty and CRE Matrix released their report on the luxury housing market for H1 2025. Mumbai’s luxury real estate recorded the highest-ever half-yearly (H1 2025) sales of Rs 14,750 crore across transactions of homes priced above Rs 10 crore. This indicates an 11% increase in sales during these six months compared to Rs 12,300 crore in H1 2024. The surge in luxury sales reflects strong momentum in residential demand, driven by rising wealth, investor confidence and the growing purchasing power of high-net-worth individuals.
Here are some of the report’s key findings:
● Strong demand: Luxury home sales rose 11% in H1 2025 versus the same period in 2024, with the Rs 20–40 crore segment growing by 138% compared to H1 2022.
● Market composition: The primary market accounted for nearly three-quarters of sales volume, while the secondary market contributed Rs 3,750 crore, both at their highest in five years.
● Top performing localities: Worli retained its lead as the most preferred luxury destination, contributing 22% of primary sales value. Other thriving micro-markets included Bandra West (192% growth), Tardeo (254% growth), Prabhadevi and Malabar Hill.
● Buyer profile: The 45–65-year age group remained the largest segment of buyers, while those above 65 years grew to 15% of sales.
● Larger homes favoured: Apartments between 2,000–4,000 sqft dominated,
representing 70% of primary sales.
Sudershan Sharma, executive director, India Sotheby’s International Realty, said, “Mumbai’s luxury real estate market is at a pivotal moment. Record sales in H1 2025 signal sustained appetite for ultra-premium homes, especially in established micro-markets like Worli, Prabhadevi, Tardeo, Malabar Hill, and Bandra West, driven by better infrastructure and a spate of high-quality new launches. This demand is buoyed by India’s expanding wealth base. The UBS Billionaire Ambitions Report 2024 notes India now has 185 billionaires, more than double the number a decade ago, with collective wealth rising 263% to $905.6 billion. That said, with continued global uncertainty around tariffs, geo-political conflicts and muted stock markets, the outlook for the remainder of 2025, while still positive, is expected to be more cautious and selective”
Abhishek Kiran Gupta, co-founder and CEO, CRE Matrix, added, “Mumbai’s luxury real estate market hit a new high in H1 2025, clocking Rs 14,750 crore in sales. Combined with H2 2024, total sales over the past 12 months touched Rs 28,750 crore- an all-time record. During this period, 1,335 luxury units were sold, the highest for any 12-month stretch. The steady rise, particularly in the Rs 20–40 crore segment, points to sustained buyer interest and a confident, though increasingly selective, high-end luxury buyer.”
The report indicates that this remarkable performance in the high-end segment mirrors a broader bullish trend observed in the overall residential property market. With the market showing resilience and continuous growth, the outlook remains positive.
Other key highlights of the report include:
● 24% buyers from the top 10 localities for luxury housing in Mumbai have their origins in localities situated beyond South Mumbai. This implies an upgrade of lifestyle and non-stickiness to their original locality.
● Goregaon East accounted for the highest proportion (7%) of homebuyers, amongst the top 10 localities, originating for luxury home purchases.
● Homes priced over Rs 40 crore registered the sharpest rise, tripling from 17 units in H1 2022 to 53 in H2 2024.
● For the last 5 years, Mumbai has been witnessing on average Rs 9,750 crore of luxury sales every half year. This shows the trend for the robust and continuous demand for luxury housing.
● Rs 10–20 crore remains the core segment, contributing 60–75% of total luxury home sales consistently
