New Delhi, January 02, 2026: Mumbai’s real estate market clocked a historic milestone in calendar year 2025, recording its highest annual property registrations in over 14 years and reaffirming the city’s position as India’s most active real estate hub. Data from the Inspector General of Registration and Controller of Stamps, Maharashtra, and industry analyses reveals that 150,254 properties were registered across the Mumbai municipal region during the year — a 6 per cent year-on-year rise over 2024 — accompanied by robust stamp duty collections of ₹13,487 crore, reflecting an 11 per cent annual growth and underscoring sustained end-user demand in the residential housing segment.
The final month of the year sustained the strong annual trend. In December 2025, 14,447 property transactions were registered, generating approximately ₹1,263 crore in stamp duty revenue — a 16 % increase year-on-year and an 18 % rise over November 2025.
Residential units dominated activity, accounting for roughly 80% of total registrations, highlighting sustained end-user home-buying interest. Properties under 1,000 sq ft continued to dominate buyer preference, contributing around 82% of December registrations, with mid-range homes (₹1–2 crore bracket) increasing their share.
Industry leaders share their insights on this continued upswing.
Mr. Prashant Sharma, President, NAREDCO Maharashtra
“The record 1.5-lakh plus property registrations in Mumbai in 2025, with December posting one of the strongest monthly performances, highlights a deep and sustained buyer confidence in the city’s real estate market. This 14-year high reflects not just seasonal momentum but underlying demand across both primary and resale segments. We believe that supportive government policies, improving affordability and increased product choices have all contributed to this broad-based growth. The robustness seen in December reinforces that Mumbai remains an attractive destination for homebuyers and investors alike.”
Mr. Kaushal Agarwal, Chairman, The Guardians Real Estate Advisory
“Mumbai’s 2025 registrations crossing 1.5 lakh units is a very encouraging signal for the city’s housing ecosystem. The strong December figures, up significantly year-on-year, indicate that buyer interest sustained right through the year-end. This trend is driven by both end-users seeking quality homes and investors recognising long-term value. As the market matures, we are seeing a blend of affordability and premium demand, with buyers engaging confidently across price bands.”
Mr. Vijay Choraria, Managing Director, Crest Ventures Limited
“The record registration figures for Mumbai in 2025, culminating in a robust December, are reflective of a market that continues to attract serious homebuyers and investors. The 14-year high illustrates that real estate in Mumbai is not just bouncing back but entering a structurally stronger phase. It is important that developers continue to align with buyer expectations around value, delivery, and lifestyle amenities to sustain this positive trajectory.”
Mr. Kamlesh Thakur, Co-Founder & Managing Director, Srishti Group
“Mumbai’s property registrations crossing 150,000 in 2025, with December being one of the best months, reflects the strength and resilience of the city’s real estate market. This demonstrates both investor confidence and genuine homeowner interest. As we have moved into 2026, maintaining product diversity, transparent practices, and customer-first engagement will be key to building on this momentum.”
Mr. Shilpin Tater, Managing Director, Superb Realty
“The historic high in Mumbai’s property registrations in 2025 underscores the city’s resilience and the resurgence of real estate activity. The strong December numbers reflect strategic buying decisions by end-users taking advantage of year-end sentiments and favourable financing conditions. With registrations and stamp duty collections both hitting record highs, this performance validates renewed optimism in the housing & commercial segments and signals a balanced growth path going into 2026.”
Ms. Shraddha Kedia-Agarwal, Director, Transcon Developers
“2025 has been a landmark year for Mumbai’s real estate market, with registrations reaching a 14-year peak and December closing on a high note. The data reveals sustained demand for homes across segments, especially in well-connected suburbs where quality product offerings meet aspirational needs. The overall positive trend reflects a market driven by genuine housing demand.”
Mr. Dhruman Shah, Promoter, Ariha Group
“Achieving over 1.5 lakh registered transactions in Mumbai in 2025 is a strong testament to the underlying health of the property market and consumer confidence. Such a performance, with December itself contributing meaningfully, indicates sustained interest from end buyers and a positive outlook for residential realty. This momentum should encourage developers and stakeholders to innovate on product quality and customer-centric solutions.”
