According to the Knight Frank Prime Global Cities Index Q3 2019, while Mumbai was ranked as the 28th fastest-growing prime residential market in the world, registering a 0.8% YoY increase in average capital values in Q3 2019, the prices had actually remained stable in the past three months. In the last decade, Mumbai has seen a 12.7% price appreciation in prime residential properties. The change in prime residential prices for all 45 cities tracked by the Index, averaged 1.1% in the year to Q3 2019, growing at the slowest rate in a decade.
Demand and sales of prime residential properties in Mumbai, are expected to see a slight fall, while the supply of luxury homes is estimated to drop significantly in 2020, according to the Prime Global Forecast 2020. The average capital values of prime residential properties in Mumbai currently stands at Rs 64,775 per sq ft, making it the most expensive city for buying luxury homes in India.
Commenting on the report, Shishir Baijal, chairman and managing director, Knight Frank India, said “Despite interest rates remaining low, sales volume of the prime-end of the market, in global top-tier cities, has largely drifted lower during 2019. The prime residential market in Mumbai has also echoed the same sentiment. In India, the segment has now become a business, for only the organised and well-funded players to venture into. Each world region will be marked by different risk sets, vis-à-vis prime properties. Brexit will play as a top risk for Europe, whereas, the economic slowdown and change of property market regulations, will weigh on Asian markets.”
