Of the overall registered properties, residential units constitute 80 per cent.
Shishir Baijal, Chairman & Managing Director, Knight Frank India, said, “The buoyant market conditions have significantly boosted the state treasury, marking its highest-ever revenue collection for April. Property registrations in April have surged, highlighting the market’s attractiveness to potential homebuyers. This positive momentum is expected to persist, driven by robust economic growth and stable interest rates which are expected to remain constant,” he said. In April 2024, the consultant highlighted that Mumbai city has clocked the second-highest number of property registrations for the month of April in over 12 years.
