Mumbai’s property market is showing no signs of slowing down. According to Registration data, the city (BMC jurisdiction) registered 12,070 property sales in September 2025, a 32% YoY jump compared to 9,111 registrations in September 2024. Stamp duty collections surged 47% YoY to ₹1,292 crore, making it the second-highest monthly revenue this year.
The surge was largely driven by the festive calendar shift. Last year, the Shraddh period (seen as inauspicious for property purchases) extended into October, but this year it ended earlier, with Navratri starting in late September — boosting buying sentiment.
On a month-on-month (MoM) basis, registrations rose 7%, while stamp duty revenues increased 29%, reflecting both volume and higher-value transactions.
YTD Performance (Jan–Sep 2025)
- Registrations: 111,939 units (↑ 6% YoY)
- Revenue: ₹11,141 crore (↑ 26% YoY)
This marks the best January–September performance since 2013, highlighting sustained buyer confidence and robust end-user demand.

What This Means for Homebuyers
- Festive boost: Navratri and upcoming Diwali could further accelerate demand.
- Luxury momentum: The ₹5 crore+ segment is growing, but mid-segment buyers continue to drive bulk of sales.
