Property registrations in Mumbai?s municipal region are projected to rise by 7% annually in August, reaching around 11,650 units, according to Knight Frank India. This increase is attributed to strong demand in both primary and secondary property markets.

This number is expected to increase slightly to approximately 11,650 units by the end of the month. In August 2023, the city registered 10,902 properties.

Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director of Knight Frank India, highlighted that the Mumbai residential market has maintained strong momentum in 2024, with consistent year-on-year growth in monthly sales.

?Sustained buyer confidence has resulted in consistent sales on a monthly basis, exceeding 10,000 units for the first eight months of the year,? the consultant noted. Baijal attributed this steady performance to a strong economic outlook and stable interest rates, which have positively influenced homebuyer sentiments and fueled continuous sales in the Mumbai property market.
