Mumbai property registrations rise 7% in May to highest level in 14 years
Property registrations in Mumbai’s municipal region surged 7% to 12,403 units in May 2026, marking the highest level for the month in 14 years. Knight Frank India attributed the rise to strong housing demand, despite a decline from April’s 14,285 registrations and global economic uncertainties linked to the West Asia conflict.
Property registrations in Mumbai’s municipal region increased by 7% in May 2026, reaching 12,403 units, according to real estate consultant Knight Frank India. This marks the highest volume for May in the past 14 years, surpassing the previous peak of May 2025. The data includes transactions from both primary and secondary real estate markets under the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s jurisdiction. The registrations in May 2026 were significantly higher than the 11,565 properties registered in May 2025, though they still fell short of April 2026’s 14,285 units. Knight Frank India highlighted the resilience of Mumbai’s residential market, noting sustained demand from end-users. Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director of Knight Frank India, emphasized the market’s strength despite broader economic challenges. Akhil Saraf, founder of PropTech firm Reloy, observed that demand remains robust in Mumbai amid global uncertainties, including the impact of the West Asia conflict. The data was sourced from Maharashtra’s Department of Registration and Stamps, reflecting ongoing activity in one of India’s most dynamic real estate markets. Analysts suggest the trend signals confidence in Mumbai’s housing sector despite external pressures.
