However, the registration of properties fell 7 per cent in January when compared to December, which saw 9,367 units registration.

Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director, Knight Frank India, said, "Despite strong headwinds consumer inclination toward home purchase has driven residential property sales in Mumbai." The demand has persisted despite rising house loan rates, absence of state government concessions, and increases in property price over the past year, he said.
