Mumbai’s real estate market has delivered its strongest performance in 14 years, recording a record 150,254 property registrations in 2025 – a solid 6% increase over the previous year. Stamp duty collections crossed INR 13,487 crore, up 11% year-on-year, reflecting both strong transaction volumes and steadily rising property values across the city.

The year-end momentum remained exceptionally strong. December 2025 alone saw 14,447 properties registered – a 16% jump from December 2024 – contributing INR 1,263 crore to state revenue. On a month-on-month basis, registrations rose 18% and stamp duty collections surged 22%, making December the second-highest month of the year after March.

Residential properties accounted for 80% of December’s registrations, underlining sustained end-user demand. Experts attribute the robust performance to improved affordability, better supply of quality housing, and major infrastructure projects enhancing connectivity.

Shishir Baijal, International Partner, Chairman & Managing Director, Knight Frank India, said: “2025 marked a steady and mature phase for Mumbai’s housing market, with property registrations crossing 1.50 lakh – the highest level seen in the last 14 years. This milestone reflects the underlying resilience and depth of the market, driven by sustained end-user demand and a far more supportive supply-side ecosystem. Rising stamp duty collections indicate gradual improvement in per-unit transaction values, while affordability has improved significantly – Mumbai is now at 47%, a sharp correction from earlier levels where EMIs consumed up to 97% of household income.”
