Mumbai’s real estate market has begun 2026 on a firm footing, bringing along the sales momentum of a year shaped by infrastructure delivery, redevelopment-led supply and resilient end-user demand. The past year was also record-breaking in number terms. After closing 2025 with more than 1.5 lakh property registrations, the highest in over a decade, Mumbai real estate, is gearing up to see steady, sustainable growth rather than speculative spikes.

With prices projected to appreciate by 6-8% across the metropolitan region, developers have largely maintained discipline on launches, keeping inventory in check even as demand remains broad-based. Affordability has played a critical role in sustaining buyer confidence as home loan EMIs now account for about 47% of household income, a sharp correction from earlier peaks that touched nearly double that level. With financial services, technology, media and allied sectors expected to contribute to the growth, sales volumes and area absorption are expected to grow by another 6-8% in FY2026.
