Mumbai’s residential sales dropped to a 30-month low in the quarter ended June as record home prices and higher interest rates crimped demand, according to Liases Foras Real Estate Rating & Research Pvt.

Sales in Mumbai, India’s most expensive property market, fell 11 percent from the previous quarter to 8 million square feet, the lowest since the three months ended December 2008, said Pankaj Kapoor, founder of Liases Foras. The number of unsold homes also rose to a record, he said.
