Mumbai City, under the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) jurisdiction has registered its highest January property registrations in 13 years, reflecting the city’s sustained real estate momentum. According to property consultant Knight Frank India, approximately 11,773 properties were registered in January 2025 in Mumbai, marking a 7% year-on-year (Y-o-Y) growth.

These transactions generated over ₹952 crore in stamp duty collections, witnessing a significant 25% Y-o-Y growth, driven by a notable increase in high-value transactions. However, on a month-on-month (M-o-M) basis, property registrations saw a slight decline of 5%, while revenue collections dipped by 16% compared to December 2024.

The report also highlights a growing preference for premium real estate. The share of registrations for properties priced at ₹2 crore and above increased from 16% in January 2024 to 19% in January 2025. This segment accounted for 2,298 transactions in January 2025, demonstrating strong demand for luxury housing. Conversely, the share of registrations for properties valued under ₹50 lakh declined from 31% to 28% during the same period, indicating a shift in buyer preferences towards higher-value properties.

Mumbai’s western and central suburbs retained their dominance, collectively contributing to 86% of the city’s total property registrations. However, there was a noticeable increase in market share for central suburbs, which rose from 29% to 33%, while the share of the western suburbs declined from 57% to 53%. “This growth reflects a surge in supply and heightened end-user interest in these locations,” the Knight Frank India report stated.

Prashant Sharma, President, NAREDCO Maharashtra said: "Mumbai’s property market continues to demonstrate resilience and growth, as evidenced by the highest January property registrations in 13 years. The 7% year-on-year increase in transactions and a significant 25% rise in stamp duty collections highlight the enduring confidence of homebuyers. The rise in high-value transactions reflects evolving buyer preferences, particularly towards premium housing. However, there is a need for continued policy support, including rationalisation of stamp duty and interest rates, to sustain momentum in the sector.”
