The highest number of registration was that of Leave and License (e-registration) documents. Which stood at 7831 documents were registered in June. It generated a revenue of Rs 1.10 crore.
In the month of March, the revenue generated in Mumbai was Rs 377 crore. While for February it stood close to Rs 470 crore.
Meanwhile, the growing revenue is a good indicator for realty sector. This goes to show that deals are taking place.
According to a broker, many consumers have come in the market, looking for homes. Even rental market is doing decent.
“Rentals are now negotiable, even big deals are happening where the seller is negotiating the price. The revenue figure will grow as days pass,” he said.
Lockdown due to COVID 19 Pandemic has impacted the real estate sector severely, because of which even revenue had gone down.
However, with relaxations in several places, the revenue figures from registrations are coming back on track.
