Amid the unprecedented rise in demand for ultra-luxury trophy homes in the last two years, Mumbai tops the list of cities with maximum sales of such properties, despite it being by far the most expensive residential market in India. The financial capital unfailingly attracts HNIs and ultra-HNIs who buy ultra-luxury homes for investment, personal use, or both.

 

“Notably, the average ticket price of homes priced >INR 40 Crore have witnessed a 2% rise in the last 8 months – from INR 1,00,208 per sq. ft. in 2023 to INR 1,02,458 per sq. ft. in August 2024,” says Puri. “A deeper dive into the data reveals that homes priced >INR 100 crore have seen a 14% price jump in the last eight months alone – from INR 1,24,697 per sq. ft. in 2023-end to INR 1,41,904 per sq. ft. in 2024 till date. This double-digit price appreciation in this segment even before the year concludes stands testimony to the unrelenting appetite for trophy homes. Not surprisingly, leading Grade A developers have scaled up ultra-luxury homes supply in the last few years.”
