Mumbai Ranks Fourth In Global Housing Price Rise
Knight Frank’s Prime Global Cities Index, in its latest report, reveals that for the quarter ending in September 2023, Mumbai has achieved the fourth-highest year-on-year growth in prime residential prices among global cities. This significant surge has reshaped the city’s real estate dynamics, catapulting it 18 places above its September 2022 ranking.
Mumbai’s real estate market recorded a substantial 6.5% increase in prime residential prices. This surge is a testament to the city’s enduring appeal to homebuyers and investors alike. With this impressive growth rate, Mumbai is now positioned as a prime destination for real estate investment, attracting global attention and capital.
New Delhi‘s National Capital Region (NCR) has made a significant leap, climbing from the 36th rank a year ago to secure the 10th spot in the September 2023 rankings. This growth is underpinned by a substantial 4.1% year-on-year increase in prime residential prices.
Bengaluru, often referred to as the “Silicon Valley of India,” has experienced a commendable rise in its global ranking. In 2022, the city held the 27th position, but in 2023, it soared to the 17th spot, backed by a 2.2% growth in prime residential prices. This growth signifies the robust potential of Bengaluru’s real estate market.

Manila claims the top position in the Prime Global Cities Index. Manila has experienced an impressive 21.2% rise in residential property prices, a growth attributed to strong domestic and foreign investments in the city’s real estate sector.
Dubai has been displaced from the top spot for the first time in eight quarters. This displacement is primarily due to a sharp decline in quarterly growth, dropping from 11.6% in the June quarter to a mere 0.7% in the September quarter.
