Mumbai: Mumbai’s residential real estate market sustained its upward trajectory in August 2026, registering 12,503 property sales—an 11% YoY surge and the highest August volume in over 14 years. The robust activity generated ₹1,123 crore in stamp duty revenue (up 12% YoY), underscoring enduring buyer appetite for quality housing despite a slight dip from July’s peak.
Industry leaders attribute this resilience to stable economic fundamentals, infrastructure upgrades, and a shift toward premium developments.
