Mumbai's luxury real estate market has recorded a sharp 36% increase in unsold inventory during the first quarter of 2025, reversing a consistent downward trend observed over the past two years.

While demand in this segment remains steady, a combination of elevated prices and global economic headwinds has tempered the pace of sales. Despite the setback in the premium segment, the city's overall property market continues to display strength, with property registrations and associated revenue reaching new heights in the past few months.Read more
