Mumbai Real Estate Sees 13,000+ Property Registrations

According to Knight Frank India’s research of Inspector General of Registration (IGR) data, Mumbai had 80,221 property registrations in the primary and secondary markets in the first half of 2026, up 6% year on year. Stamp duty receipts also increased by 4% to ₹6,968 crore.

In June alone, the city recorded over 13,000 property transactions, a 15% increase over the previous year and the biggest monthly total in the last 14 years. The Maharashtra government collected almost ₹1,000 crore in stamp duty from these registrations, according to a study.

The Mumbai real estate market had over 12,315 property registrations in May 2026, up 7% year on year, the greatest number of registrations for the month of May in the previous 14 years.

How Mumbai property registrations stack up

June 2026 is expected to outperform the previous June peak in 2025, indicating that Mumbai’s housing industry will continue to thrive despite a high base. Property registrations are forecast to rise 7.3% year on year, while stamp duty collections are expected to rise 4%, reflecting a shift in transaction composition, with mid-market home sales accounting for a larger share than last year.

Property registrations are forecast to rise 7% sequentially from May 2026, while stamp duty collections are expected to rise 2%.

Mumbai’s residential market has maintained its strong momentum, with June 2026 seeing the most monthly property registrations in 14 years. This achievement was accomplished despite a strong foundation from the previous year, demonstrating the robustness of end-user demand and sustained homebuyer confidence,” stated Shishir Baijal, International Partner, Chairman, and Managing Director of Knight Frank India.

The market’s strength is further reflected in H1 2026 registrations, which increased on top of an already strong first half of 2025. While stamp duty collections remained largely stable over the same period last year, indicating a moderate increase in average transaction values, the strong increase in registrations suggests that demand is becoming more broad-based across buyer segments rather than concentrated in higher-value transactions. This demonstrates the depth and resilience of Mumbai’s residential market, he said.
