Mumbai's property market witnessed a robust surge in registrations in October 2024, with a 22% year-on-year increase to 12,960 units, driven by heightened demand during the festive season, as reported by Knight Frank India. The data highlights the impact of the Dussehra and Diwali celebrations on the city's real estate activity, particularly in the municipal region under BMC (Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation) jurisdiction. This growth marks a significant rise from 10,607 units registered in October 2023.

Residential units dominated this upward trend, comprising 80% of the total registrations for the month, emphasizing a strong and steady demand for housing in Mumbai. October 2024 noted a marked increase in demand for high-value properties, with transactions for properties priced above Rs 2 crore reaching 2,876 units. This high-end segment accounted for 22% of total registrations, up from 18% in October last year. The trend showcases an upward shift in consumer preference for premium properties, reflective of Mumbai's resilient real estate market. Conversely, the share of registrations for properties priced below Rs 50 lakh dropped significantly from 27% in October 2023 to 20% in October 2024, indicating a shift towards mid-to-high-end property investments.

Here is what real estate industry leaders have to say on the robust property registrations in October 2024:

Mr. Prashant Sharma, President, NAREDCO Maharashtra
"The remarkable increase in property registrations and revenue generation in Mumbai this October underscores the positive sentiment surrounding property investments during the festive period. The alignment of auspicious occasions like Navratri and Diwali in the same month has certainly catalyzed this growth, as buyers view this as an ideal time to make high-value investments. This trend reflects the growing confidence in Mumbai’s real estate market, supported by strong demand across segments and favorable state policies. NAREDCO Maharashtra is optimistic that this momentum will continue, contributing significantly to the state’s economic growth and further bolstering buyer confidence in Mumbai’s dynamic property market."

Mr. Rajeev Ranjan, Co-Founder & CEO, The Mentors Real Estate Advisory Pvt Ltd
"The festive period this October has brought forth a surge in property registrations, fueled by the high-value sentiment associated with Navratri and Diwali. This seasonal upturn, combined with the strategic allure of Mumbai as a premium investment destination, showcases the strength of the real estate sector as a wealth-building asset for buyers. The impressive rise in revenue from property registrations not only reflects robust market activity but also signals a maturing buyer profile that sees long-term value in real estate. As we move forward, we anticipate sustained demand driven by such auspicious periods and consistent market confidence in Mumbai’s thriving property landscape."

Mr. Anil Mutha, Chief Visionary & Co-Founder, Nandivardhan Group
"The strong performance in property registrations during October reflects Mumbai's enduring appeal and the pent-up demand catalyzed by Dussehra and Diwali.

The real estate market is witnessing a transformative phase, and we are optimistic about the sector's continued growth."

Mr. Vedanshu Kedia, Director, Prescon Group
"The increased demand in the high-value property segment underscores a shift in buyer preference towards premium, amenitized, living experiences, as seen in the rise in registrations for properties priced above Rs 2 crore. This trend highlights the aspirations of Mumbai's buyers for quality and lifestyle-driven investments, and we expect this momentum to sustain as more homebuyers align their choices with long-term value creation and life-style oriented decision making."

Mr. Rohan Khatau, Director, CCI Projects
"The significant increase in registrations, particularly in premium segments, signals a robust demand landscape driven by economic stability and aspirational buying. The reduced share of lower-value properties indicates a trend where Mumbai homebuyers are moving towards long-term investments that enhance quality of life. The sector's positive growth trajectory demonstrates the resilience and potential of Mumbai's real estate market as it aligns with the aspirations of modern homebuyers."
