Mumbai Property Registrations Rise 11% to 12,503 Units in August 2026

MUMBAI, August 31, 2026: Mumbai’s residential property market continued to show strong demand in August, with property registrations projected to rise 11% year-on-year to 12,503 units, according to Knight Frank India.

The figure is expected to be the highest August registration level in 14 years, indicating sustained buying activity despite a sequential decline from July.

Stamp Duty Revenue Also Set to Rise

Maharashtra is projected to collect around ₹1,123 crore in stamp duty from Mumbai property registrations during August.

This represents a 12% year-on-year increase from the ₹1,000 crore collected in August 2025.

Registrations Fall 10% From July

While annual growth remained strong, Mumbai recorded a month-on-month decline.

Property registrations stood at 13,824 units in July 2026, meaning August registrations are projected to be around 10% lower.

Stamp duty collections also declined sequentially from ₹1,255 crore in July to the projected ₹1,123 crore in August.

 

Housing Demand Remains Resilient

Knight Frank India said the strong year-on-year growth in both registrations and stamp duty collections reflects continued resilience in Mumbai’s residential market.

According to Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director of Knight Frank India, the moderation compared with July has not changed the broader picture, with underlying housing demand remaining healthy.

What Mumbai Homebuyers Should Know

The August numbers suggest that Mumbai continues to attract buyers despite high property prices. For homebuyers, sustained registration activity indicates that demand remains firm across the city.

For developers and investors, strong annual registration growth could signal continued confidence in Mumbai’s residential real estate market.
