Mumbai, the biggest and most expensive real estate market in the nation, set a new record in stamp duty collection for May despite rising mortgage rates and home prices. Mumbai kept up its remarkable performance in May, generating an average of more than 300 units of new real estate each day, making it the second-best May month during the previous 10 years, after May 2022. Demand is still high despite the fact that the recent year's series of interest rate increases and the continuous rise in home prices (in the suburbs) have strained buyers' affordability. Due to a growth in both mid-income and higher-value real estate purchases, revenue grew.

Despite less than 0.5% fewer registrations at 9,786 transactions, the state exchequer's profits from stamp duty collections increased by 14% year over year in May, according to data from Maharashtra's inspector general of registration. While 58% of the market was accounted for by the western suburbs in May, which registered the most properties, south Mumbai saw a remarkable increase in sales as well, with 10% of registrations in May compared to 5% in May of the previous year.

Mumbai's Western Suburbs: A Look at the Real Estate Market

From Andheri to Borivali, Mumbai's western suburbs have seen a significant rise of their residential populations, physical infrastructure, commercial centres, and social infrastructure. Due to the fact that it accounted for more than half of all property registrations thus far in 2023, it remained the most well-liked real estate market.

Here is a look at the sales registration figures for the Western Suburbs in the first 4 months of this year:

•             58% in January 2023

•             57% in February 2023

•             62% in March 2023

The western suburban area is a strategically located centre that offers convenience to working professionals due to its smooth connection and simple accessibility. Residential hubs in Mumbai's western suburbs appeal to purchasers looking for spacious houses and peaceful settings, but with a whiff of traffic congestion, by offering a choice of options in various configurations by major real estate firms.

Reasons Why Western Suburbs Rule the Real Estate Market

This pattern has been influenced by a variety of variables, such as:

Excellent connectivity:

The area's robust infrastructure and connectivity contribute significantly to the supremacy of the Western Suburbs in the real estate market. Access to the suburbs has been improved because to the Mumbai Metro, Western Express Highway, Bandra-Worli sealink, and improved road infrastructure. The Western Suburbs have seen an enormous surge in demand for residential homes as a consequence, which has increased sales.

Well-Designed with Contemporary Amenities

The Western Suburbs have developed into a desirable option thanks to well-planned projects and contemporary facilities. Since it now controls the market, fluctuations in demand have boosted sales here.

Affordable costs and excellent value:

The suburbs are a tempting solution for anybody looking for good value since they provide a great combination of infrastructure, facilities, and a high level of living. The Western Suburbs' dominance in the real estate industry is supported by the more affordable costs as compared to South Bombay. However, the Central suburbs are now posing a serious threat.

Summary of the Western Suburbs of Mumbai Real Estate Market (MMR)

The aforementioned factors have contributed to a rise in property sales in recent years in the Western suburbs. The Western suburbs are expected to continue to dominate the MMR market in the next years, but they may lose total market share as the Central suburb market expands, which will boost sales in both locations across all major categories, including inexpensive, mid-segment, and luxury.
