Property registrations have moderated in the Mumbai real estate market
According to Knight Frank India, property registrations have moderated but are indicating a phase of stabilisation.
“Despite the moderation, the city recorded its second-best performance for the month of February on record in terms of property registration indicating a phase of stabilisation. Notably, registrations have consistently remained above 10,000, significantly higher than pre-pandemic levels. This sustained activity reflects a healthy market, driven by positive homebuyer sentiment, steady economic conditions, and ongoing large-scale infrastructure development,” Knight Frank India said in its monthly report.
“The Mumbai property market has consistently recorded over 11,000 properties per month; however, the rate of growth has moderated. In February 2025, the city continued to record sequential growth in per-day registrations of 4% sequentially, which was largely supported by the premium segment,” said Shishir Baijal, Chairman & Managing Director, Knight Frank India.
“High–end segment, particularly ₹5 crore plus, recorded an annual growth of 15% YoY. Contrary to this, the lower ticket size segment of ₹50 Lakhs and below saw a notable reduction in demand of 19% YoY. As Mumbai’s economy expands and infrastructure developments progress, the city’s property market can continue to benefit from this strong growth potential,” Baijal added.
