In December 2024, the city under the jurisdiction of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) recorded 12,418 property registrations, generating Rs 1,134 crore in revenue for the state exchequer, as per the real estate consultant’s report, citing government data. Residential properties made up 80 per cent of the total registrations in December, news agency PTI reported.
In December 2023, 12,285 properties were registered.
"The total number of property sales registrations for the year 2024 will reach 1,41,202, while the revenue generated from property registrations for the year is estimated to stand at Rs 12,141 crore. Both these figures represent a new 13-year high," the statement said.
"Property registrations from January to December 2024 grew by 11 per cent year-on-year, driving the fastest revenue growth in a decade at 12 per cent. This trend reflects evolved homebuyer preferences for quality and value. The data also indicates Mumbai's real estate market as a key driver of economic activity and an attractive long-term investment," said Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director of Knight Frank India.
Akhil Saraf, Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of proptech firm Reloy, noted strong demand for residential properties across all segments, PTI reported.
"Reputed developers are attracting significant buyer interest and commanding premiums for projects situated in prime locations with modern amenities. This trend is expected to persist, especially with infrastructure development in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) opening up new areas for residential project development," said Saraf, whose company helps realty firms generate referral sales.
