Exceptional Resilience in Mumbai's Real Estate Market
Mumbai's real estate market showed remarkable strength in August 2025, with 11,230 property registrations despite the usual monsoon challenges. This was a 3% drop from the previous year but a 11% decrease from July. It was the second-best August ever, showing the market's solid foundation.
Steady Revenue Collections
Stamp duty collections hit ₹1,000 crore in August, showing strong buyer confidence. Although down 6% from the previous year, these figures highlight Mumbai's status as India's most resilient property market.
Residential Demand Fuels Market Activity
Residential properties made up 80% of all registrations. Smaller homes up to 1,000 square feet were the top choice, making up 85% of total registrations. The 500-1,000 sq ft segment was most popular among buyers looking for practical living spaces.
Suburban Areas Drive Market Growth
Western suburbs dominated with 54% of all registrations, while central suburbs contributed 32%. This spread shows a continued preference for suburban areas over central Mumbai.
Strong Year-to-Date Performance
From January to August 2025, Mumbai recorded 99,869 property registrations, marking a 3% year-on-year growth. Revenue collections reached ₹8,854 crore, an impressive 11% increase from the previous year.
Positive Market Outlook
Industry experts are confident about hitting the 1 lakh registration mark this year. "Consistently crossing the 11,000-registration mark every month is a strong indicator of Mumbai's resilient housing demand," said Prashant Sharma from NAREDCO Maharashtra. The market's decade-long growth continues, rising from 44,583 units in 2013 to nearly 1 lakh units in 2025.
