In 2023, sales of residential units in Mumbai are expected to increase further.
“Residential sales value is likely to breach the Rs 1 lakh crore mark.”
Sales would breach the Rs 2 lakh crore mark in 2030, the consultant estimated.

Karan Singh Sodi, Senior Managing Director, Mumbai, MMR, India, JLL, said individuals have a preference for staying close to office markets.
“Owing to this, residential clusters in proximity to office markets have flourished and attracted steep prices whereas those with limited connectivity have trailed,” Sodi said.

“The surge in demand has propelled both supply and prices, leading to an anticipated expansion in market size,” Chadha said. (PTI)
