Property registrations in the Mumbai municipal region witnessed a 5% increase in November 2024, with over 10,200 units registered, reflecting sustained housing demand, according to Knight Frank India.

In a statement released on Saturday, Knight Frank India reported that Mumbai city, under the jurisdiction of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), recorded 10,216 property registrations as of 8 PM that day. The final tally is expected to rise slightly as additional registrations are processed. However, November’s registrations showed a decline from October 2024, when 12,960 units were registered.
