Buying a home is a decision of a lifetime. Many a times we don’t wish to get into the EMI trap and continue moving to various rental spaces. However the Coved 19 pandemic aftermath has led many of us to think of owning our own residential space. While the overall scene still looks bleak and gloomy with pay-cuts, job losses and uncertainty all around, however owning an apartment is way better than dealing with the uncertainties of living in rented accommodation.

Having said the above, it is not advisable to invest a huge chunk of your savings in your own home currently; depending on your liquidity and EMI payment capacity you may explore economic, budget-friendly options too.

Benefits of owning your home in this pandemic

1. No Need to Pay Hefty Rentals/Rental Income

In metros and Tier-I cities, people have to pay rent through their nose. In these unprecedented times your landlord may decide not to rent that property any longer or may increase the rent suddenly leaving you with little choice to either increase the rent or pay the higher amount. Also in current scenario, people are worried and anxious about their ability to pay monthly rentals especially with pay-cuts, job loss etc. You would happily pay a thicker EMI than your rental, simply because you own that asset, your own home.

2. Real-Estate Investment an Asset

In the current scenario, people are slowly realizing the importance of having their own home. It is asset and a great investment option. For first time buyers it is a big relief from paying rent every month and for those buying for investment purpose it will provide steady returns in form of rental income.

3. Better ROI

Over last few years individuals were flocking stock markets and made good money too. However with the onset of Covid 19 pandemic, the stock market has turned quite volatile and uncertain. People are warily investing in share market now. Real Estate is a more reliable option offering steady returns compared to the highly volatile stock market that comes with heightened risks. It offers a sense of security to the individual that an equity investment cannot provide.

4. Low Lending Rates

With Banks lowering lending rates for buyers, it is an opportunity that cannot be missed. So if you have been planning to buy a residential space, it is good time to take the plunge. So while the prevailing lending rates are attractive, the investment is also creating an asset for future.

For the budget you may have decided upon, you might get better deals or you may use the additional amount for interiors work for the apartment being purchased. A lower interest rate means you may raise a higher amount of loan. So you may be able to buy a bigger home or one with better amenities and at a better location.

The borrower may even opt for a fixed rate of interest  at lower levels, get rid of the stress arising out of the interest reset practices followed by various lending institutions. That will eventually help in making considerable savings in years to come. (Floating rate tends to increase/fluctuate over time). Fixed rate also means stable EMIs.

5. Tax Advantage/ Discounts

Tax Benefits:

A great benefit of owning a home (while availing a home loan) are the tax benefits you get (on principal and interest payments) under various sections of the Income Tax Act. Affordable/Economy Housing comes at still cheaper prices. Every penny saved through these benefits is your hidden savings.
