Residential Market Update 2024: January – December 2024
Mumbai, recognised as India’s financial hub, thrives on its robust economic ecosystem as a centre for finance, commerce, and industry. Complemented by transformative infrastructure projects like the Mumbai Coastal Road, Metro Line 3, and the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL), the city continues to strengthen its position as the nation’s premier real estate market.
Mumbai’s residential market sustained its strong performance, recording the highest half-yearly sales volume since H1 2012. The latter half of 2024 saw a 4% increase in sales compared to the first half, primarily fuelled by heightened demand during festive seasons like Navratri, Dussehra, and Diwali. These festivals traditionally drive real estate activity through positive market sentiment, further bolstered by developers introducing new projects and offering appealing payment plans.
Peripheral regions, such as the Central Suburbs and Thane, dominated launches and sales in H2 2024, attracting buyers with more affordable prices and enhanced lifestyle options.
