Mumbai’s property market continued its strong performance in February, recording 11,541 sale registrations under the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s jurisdiction. The registrations contributed Rs 896 crore in stamp duty revenue to the state government, according to data from Knight Frank India.
 
Despite February being a shorter month, Mumbai maintained an average of 412 daily property registrations, marking a 4 per cent sequential increase from January 2025 (395 units). Meanwhile, daily stamp duty collections remained stable at Rs 32 crore, up from Rs 31 crore in February 2024. The increase in stamp duty revenue was attributed to a higher proportion of high-value transactions.
 
Stable growth and market resilience
 
In February, Mumbai recorded more than 11,541 property registrations, compared to 12,056 in February 2024. 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 stabilization.
 
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.
 
“The Mumbai property market has consistently recorded over 11,000 properties per month; however, the rate of growth has moderated,” said Shishir Baijal, chairman & managing director, Knight Frank India..
 
“In February 2025, the city continued to record sequential growth in per-day registrations of 4 per cent sequentially, which was largely supported by the premium segment. The high–end segment, particularly (over) Rs 5 crore, recorded an annual growth of 15 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y). Contrary to this, the lower ticket size segment of Rs 50 lakh and below saw a notable reduction in demand of 19 per cent Y-o-Y. As Mumbai’s economy expands and infrastructure developments progress, the city’s property market can continue to benefit of this strong growth potential,” he said.  Also Read: Golden visas: Indians curious about it but few apply.
