Mumbai’s luxury market enjoyed a pleasant run-in mid-2021, despite consumer feelings of frustration during the success of the COVID market. According to the new Square Yards report, circulating in the “List of affordable homes for sale in Mumbai – January-June 2021”, the majority of transactions worth Rs 15 to 100 crore were registered in the city in the period of half-year.
The approximate value of those transactions was pegged at around Rs 4000 crore plus.
