Residential property sales in the top eight cities have been witnessing an uptrend over the last three years, fueled by strong demand across mid-income, premium, and luxury segments.
Mumbai, as the country’s largest and priciest real estate market, spearheaded this trend, breaking new records in property transactions and achieving exceptional performance almost every month.
The country’s financial capital continued its upward trajectory and record-setting spree by recording its best-ever August performance led by robust sales as well as stamp duty collection despite higher mortgage rates and steady rise in property prices.
The city’s consistent sales momentum has been driven by sustained buyer confidence, surpassing 10,000 units in monthly registrations for the first eight months of 2024. This marks eleven consecutive months of annual growth since August 2023.
