This Navratri, Mumbai’s real estate sector saw a significant seasonal boost, with property registrations increasing 20% year over year, according to data supplied by Knight Frank India. Increased optimism among homebuyers is reflected in the spike, which has been fueled by alluring holiday deals, steady mortgage rates, and a promising economic outlook. Historically regarded as a fortunate time to buy real estate, Navratri 2025 has further solidified Mumbai’s standing as one of the most robust housing markets in the nation.
In contrast to last year’s 9,200 registrations, Knight Frank announced that over 11,000 property registrations were made over the nine-day event. Mumbai’s central and western suburbs were the busiest, particularly Andheri, Goregaon, Thane, and Chembur. Experts believe that this increase is the result of both the ongoing demand for ready-to-move-in homes and the Christmas discounts that developers are offering.
This increase in registrations, according to industry observers, also points to robust end-user demand as opposed to speculative purchasing. Flexible payment plans and government incentives that maintain housing affordability are being embraced by a large number of homebuyers. Additionally, developers have started new projects that are ideally timed for the holiday season, which has increased reservations and site visits throughout the city.
This Navratri, there were a number of high-end purchases in Bandra and South Mumbai, demonstrating the excellent traction of the luxury market. A renewed emphasis on lifestyle-driven housing choices and growing discretionary incomes have helped the market. The momentum is expected to last through Diwali and into the last quarter of 2025, which is typically a time of high real estate transactions, Knight Frank added.
Mumbai’s real estate market looks to be well-positioned for long-term growth, with property values and home loan rates predicted to stay consistent. A positive end to the year for both developers and purchasers is indicated by the joyous performance, which highlights the city’s robust housing demand and rising consumer confidence.
