According to Rahul Ajmera, a developer at Vasupujya Corporation and a data expert who compiled the MahaRERA registration data, while 1 BHK and 2 BHK apartments dominate launches, in the Mumbai real estate market, the new supply has been declining in favour of larger 3 and 4 BHK in the last five years post Covid-19 as homebuyers preferred bigger apartments.

Real estate project launches in Mumbai decline

While post-COVID-19 real estate launches and sales had gone up significantly, that seems to have now cooled down.

Mumbai’s real estate market saw a sharp cooling in 2025, with new housing launches falling to a five-year low even as the city continued to add tens of thousands of homes. Around 42,643 new units were launched during the year, a steep 40% decline from nearly 70,892 units in 2024, according to MahaRERA data.

Project registrations also dropped to their lowest level in five years. In 2025, 689 new projects were registered with the Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA), a 5% decline from the previous year, according to MahaRERA data.
