Mumbai Registers 11,541 properties in February 2025

New Delhi, March 01, 2025: According to Knight Frank India, while property registrations in the Mumbai real estate market have moderated, signs of stabilisation are emerging. The market saw a 4% Year-on-Year (YoY) decline in registrations, with 11,541 properties registered in February 2025, compared to 12,056 in the same period last year, based on data from the Maharashtra Inspector General of Registration (IGR).

Nevertheless, stamp duty collections remained steady in February 2025, reaching ₹896 crore, which is almost identical to the ₹885 crore collected in February 2024. On a month-on-month comparison, January 2025 saw 12,249 properties registered, with stamp duty collections totaling ₹994 crore.

Mumbai’s residential market has experienced significant shifts in micro-market preferences. The central suburbs saw the largest increase in market share, rising from 29% in January 2024 to 33% in January 2025. Central Mumbai and South Mumbai also saw growth, with their market shares increasing to 11%.

Here is what real estate industry leaders have to say on the registrations numbers in February 2025.
