Mumbai Property Market as always is full of surprises for both the home buyers and the Investors. Being the financial capital of India, Mumbai is the only city in India where we see a double digit growth in the property prices and the same is not relenting. Mumbai as a city has gone through a slow down in Property Development for nearly past 15-18 Months. This was due to the New DCR Rules which came in force very recently.

The result of this delay was a large gap in Demand and Supply and in this MCHI Exhibition 2012 which concluded last week we saw a lot of new and proposed launches in coming months. The property market in Mumbai seems buoyant and chances of any corrections seem to be less, however, in certain micro markets there may be over supply and one has to really watch out for those sectors.

A good thing which has come out that a lot of Developers are focussing on efficient planning, 1 , 1.5, 2 and 2.5 BHK in the market. There is still a huge demand for the 1 and 2 BHK in the market. The market seems to also be opening up for Complexes and the preferences to the same is given with lots of amenities with focus on need for Children and Family living.
