Buying guidelines

Five things to settle first.

Property buying is a long-term commitment. Before you look at a single site, decide on these five fundamentals.

01 The five fundamentals

Budget

Know your EMI ceiling before you walk into a property. A ₹50 L home you can afford to occupy is better than a ₹1 Cr dream you'll be house-poor in.

Location

Spend time in the neighborhood at different times of day. Check schools, hospitals, market access, and commute to work. A good property in a weak location will be slow to appreciate.

Rental rates

If you might rent it out later, ask locals what monthly rental is on comparable homes. A 0.5% gross yield is weak; 0.8–1% is healthy. The math will tell you if your property will work as an investment.

Resale value

Look at sold prices in the neighborhood over the last 2–3 years. Is the neighborhood appreciating? Are sales steady or slowing down? Buying into a falling market is expensive learning.

Stamp duty & taxes

A ₹50 L property might cost an extra ₹5–7 L once you add registration, stamp duty, and taxes. Build these into your budget before you negotiate on price.

02 A word on timing

Real estate moves in cycles. Sometimes prices are rising and inventory is low. Sometimes the opposite. You'll read a thousand opinions on the "right time" to buy. The only truly wrong time is when you're not ready — emotionally, financially, or professionally.

If you're stable in your job, settled in the city, and the EMI fits your comfort zone, timing is right. Everything else is market noise.
