Prestige Garden Trails recorded an increase of 215 in its combined sold-and-booked count between reads on 19 July and 4 November 2026. Bhagwati Elysia III recorded an increase of 2; Bhagwati Elysia IV, 4. Each comparison covers an unchanged inventory total, according to the respective projects’ MahaRERA sold/booked/unsold inventory filings. For Mumbai’s festive homebuyer, the strongest lesson sits in that distinction: read sold and booked together before judging how much the recorded position has changed.

Hindustan Times reports higher walk-ins alongside longer buying decisions this Diwali. Industry participants cite rising prices and geopolitical uncertainty, while developers offer festive incentives. The project filings add something a busy sales office cannot: a dated comparison of the categories behind the sales conversation.

These selected filings describe recorded project positions rather than Mumbai-wide demand, transaction dates, individual booking-to-sale transitions or decision times; units labelled unsold require current availability confirmation.

The increase behind the headline

At Prestige Garden Trails in Mira Road East, the MahaRERA inventory filing read on 19 July 2026 showed 442 sold and 352 booked. The corresponding read on 4 November 2026 showed 690 sold and 319 booked. The inventory covered remained 1364 units.

The sold category increased by 248. The combined sold-and-booked position increased by 215, from 794 to 1009. Those figures answer different questions. The former measures the change in the category labelled sold. The latter measures the net change across sold and booked together.

That distinction matters when someone describes a project’s sales progress. Counting only the increase in sold units leaves out the accompanying movement in bookings. Reading the categories together gives the buyer a fuller account of the recorded commitments, without assigning a transaction history to any particular flat.

Promoted by PRESTIGE ESTATES PROJECTS LIMITED, Garden Trails has proposed completion on 31 October 2030 in its MahaRERA project details read on 12 July 2026. Its filed status is “Certificate Signed”. Buyers exploring Prestige projects should keep that exact promoter and project identity attached to the figures.

Panvel makes the distinction sharper

Bhagwati Elysia III and Bhagwati Elysia IV in Panvel are promoted by BHAGWATI SIGNATURE LLP. Their respective MahaRERA project details, read on 12 July 2026, record “Certificate Signed” and proposed completion on 31 December 2029.

Elysia III’s sold count rose by 9, from 67 to 76, between inventory reads on 19 July and 3 November 2026. Its booked count moved from 36 to 29. The net combined increase was 2, taking sold and booked together from 103 to 105, per the project’s MahaRERA inventory filings.

Elysia IV’s corresponding filings show an increase of 6 in sold units, from 39 to 45. Booked units moved from 23 to 21. Its combined position increased by 4, from 62 to 66.

A buyer hearing only the sold increases would receive an incomplete description of these changes. The combined figures preserve the contribution of bookings already recorded at the earlier read. They also make the comparison reproducible: the underlying inventory totals stayed the same.

The table uses those unchanged totals as its selection rule. Earlier figures are from each project’s MahaRERA inventory filing read on 19 July 2026; latest figures are from the reads shown.

Project MahaRERA registration number Latest read Covered inventory, unchanged Sold and booked: earlier → latest Net combined increase Latest recorded unsold
Prestige Garden TrailsPR13300025012234 November 20261364794 → 1009215355

Bhagwati Elysia IVP520000560493 November 202613062 → 66464

The comparison concerns how to read each project’s movement. It supplies no reason to choose a home solely because another project has a larger increase.

The calendar changes the Diwali reading

The chronology gives the festive story more substance. Elysia III’s and Elysia IV’s latest counts were already present in their MahaRERA inventory filings read on 11 September 2026. Garden Trails’ latest counts first appeared in the read on 18 October 2026.

For Garden Trails, the chart selects the dated reads at which successive combined positions appeared. It keeps the same covered inventory and percentage measure throughout.

The November reads therefore carry forward positions visible at different points before the news report. Attaching the whole change to the Diwali sales conversation would erase that chronology. Keeping the read dates visible lets the reader distinguish an observed change from a story about when buyers decided.

Ask for the flat behind the figures

Use the recorded unsold balance to begin a specific conversation. Ask which flats are currently offered in the exact phase, then put carpet area, floor, written price and payment schedule beside each other. Ask which dated filing supports any quoted sold percentage and whether that percentage includes booked units.

Completion belongs in that same comparison. Garden Trails’ proposed completion in October 2030 and the Elysia phases’ December 2029 date give households a concrete basis for discussing their moving plans. A festive incentive earns its place only after the home and payment schedule fit.

Extra time spent evaluating a purchase can produce a better decision. The useful outcome is a clear account of the flat being offered—and a sales conversation in which sold, booked and currently available each mean something precise.
