MMR unsold housing stock falls 8 pc Y-o-Y
Even as the region’s COVID-19 case count continued piling up, MMR emerged as one of the most buoyant residential markets in Q1 2021. It saw the highest yearly decline (8 pc) in total unsold housing stock by the end of this quarter – from 2,13,180 units as on Q1 2020-end to 1,97,040 units as on Q1 2021-end.
It was the highest y-o-y decline of unsold housing inventory in the last seven years. In previous years, MMR’s stock either increased y-o-y or declined by no more than 3 per cent.
Notably, the overall stock fell despite ample new supply hitting the market during this and the preceding quarter. MMR saw 14,820 new units added in Q1 2021 – the highest among the top seven cities – yet robust sales in Q1 2021 and Q4 2020 significantly dented the overall unsold stock in the region. Housing sales are driven by bottomed-out property prices, limited-period stamp duty cuts, developer discounts and lowest-best home loan rates.
Approx. 20,350 units were sold in MMR in Q1 2021, of which 68% (approx. 13,750 units) were sold in Mumbai, 18% (approx. 3,650 units) in Navi Mumbai and 14% (approx. 2,950 units) in Thane.
