Mumbai’s real estate market showcased its resilience with a 5% rise in property registrations in November 2024, recording 10,216 transactions compared to 9,736 during the same period last year. This uptick was complemented by a remarkable 30% growth in stamp duty collections, which surged to ₹924 crore from ₹712 crore in November 2023. Analysts attribute this dual growth to an increasing demand for high-value properties, reflecting a significant shift in buyer preferences towards premium housing.
An analysis by Knight Frank India revealed that properties priced at ₹2 crore and above represented 23% of total registrations in November, a rise from 17% the previous year. This segment alone accounted for 2,147 transactions, underscoring the evolving aspirations of Mumbai’s homebuyers. Prashant Sharma, President of NAREDCO Maharashtra, highlighted the market’s dynamism, emphasising that supportive policies could further encourage investments in the premium housing sector, which has become a significant revenue generator for the state.
State-wide, Maharashtra registered over one lakh properties in November, contributing ₹2,520 crore in stamp duty revenue. While Mumbai leads this surge, the trend reflects a broader real estate resurgence, with robust demand driven by improved economic conditions and infrastructure projects. Urban planners and policymakers are urged to sustain this growth through measures addressing housing affordability and easing transaction processes.
From a sustainability perspective, the surge in premium housing calls for a balance between urban expansion and environmental conservation. Developers must integrate green practices to cater to eco-conscious buyers, promoting energy-efficient buildings and sustainable designs. Such measures not only ensure long-term ecological balance but also enhance the appeal of luxury housing, making it a cornerstone of sustainable urban development. As Mumbai’s skyline evolves, the focus on inclusive and sustainable growth remains paramount.
