Luxury homes in Mumbai, India's most expensive real estate market, clocked record sales of ₹12,300 crore in the first half of 2024 on the back of growing demand for high-end properties, with Worli cornering more than a third of the purchases.
In comparison, about ₹11,400 crore of luxury homes - priced ₹10 crore and above - were sold in the first half of last year, according to a joint report by property advisory India Sotheby’s International Realty and data analytics firm CRE Matrix. About ₹3,500 crore of the sales came from the secondary or resale market, up 38% from levels in H1 2023.
While south Mumbai's Worli accounted for 37% of the value of luxury home sales, there was a significant increase in this category in suburban Goregaon East, driven primarily by the Oberoi Elysian project. Other micro-markets that contributed to sales in a big way are Mahalakshmi, Prabhadevi, Mumbai Central, Malabar Hill, Bandra West, Lower Parel, Tardeo and Byculla.
