Sunday. Honest Real Estate. Let’s get into it.
A ₹5 crore flat in Bandra or Khar. Renting the equivalent right now runs ₹1.75–2 lakh a month — rents in this market are genuinely inflated.
Do the math and renting still wins month-to-month. But the gap is smaller than people assume, because rent has caught up so much.
There’s a cost renting has that never shows up in a spreadsheet, too. During COVID, some licensors — NRIs based abroad — had to move back and needed their flats back. Licensees who’d built a life around that home had to vacate on short notice, through no fault of their own. Owning removes that risk entirely.
This isn’t a universal answer — depends on your own numbers and your own risk tolerance. DM me your specifics and I’ll run the actual comparison.
