“Mumbai’s residential market continues to see healthy demand, with August 2026 projected to record the highest property registrations for the month in more than 14 years. While registration and stamp duty collections have moderated sequentially, their strong YoY growth underscores the continued strength and resilience of underlying housing demand," said Shishir Baijal, International Partner, Chairman and Managing Director, Knight Frank India.

{{/usCountry}}"The increase in activity, alongside higher stamp duty collections compared to the same period last year, points to sustained homebuyer
interest across the market. As homebuyers become more discerning, well-located developments supported by quality infrastructure are likely to remain attractive. Mumbai's economic depth, employment base and long-term investment appeal will continue to support residential demand," said Baijal.
Pan India scenario
Housing sales across the top eight cities declined 6.1% year-on-year to 91,729 units in the April-June quarter, from 97,674 units a year earlier, according to PropTiger’s latest Real Insight Residential report. The trend reflected a seasonal moderation ahead of the monsoon and heightened buyer caution amid the US-Iran war.
The impact was sharper in technology-driven markets such as Pune and Bengaluru, where AI-led workforce restructuring and tech-sector layoffs weighed on housing demand, particularly in the sub- ₹1 crore segment, the report said.
Pune recorded the steepest annual decline among the major markets, with housing sales falling 20.8% to 12,642 units from 15,962 units a year earlier. Ahmedabad followed with a 20.2% decline to 7,541 units from 9,451 units, the report showed.
