Also, the market has seen year-on-year growth in registrations for ten successive months, starting August 2023.South and central Mumbai–home to India’s most expensive apartments–has been playing a key role in driving this performance. The micro-market witnessed many large-ticket record-setting transactions involving industrialists, CXOs, actors and sports personalities in the last few years.
