83% sales concentrated in the up to 1,000 sq ft housing segment

With the improvement in affordability, homes of 500 -1,000 sq ft continued to be the preference, accounting for 47 percent of the total registrations in February 2022, followed by compact homes of up to 500 sq ft, which has bagged a share of 36 percent. Homes of 1,000- 2,000 sq ft accounted for 15 of percent total registrations.

Shishir Baijal, Chairman & Managing Director, Knight Frank India said “ As we expected, the Mumbai property market has regained its sales momentum based on the continuous demand the city has been witnessing. The buyers continue to feel empowered to make their purchases backed by lower interest rates and price discounts. The end – users do not want to lose out on the opportunity to make their purchase at the right time. Given that buyer conducive conditions have now lasted for over a year, which have indeed propelled demand, there is a sense that very soon developers may reduce or stop providing attractive offers. Interest rates may also rise if the RBI raises the REPO rate to control inflation.”
