Middle Class Facing Buy Vs Rent Dilemma in Major Indian Cities - Research by ArthaYantra
 
Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India

  • Micro markets behaving differently, Mumbai and Pune prefer buying, while Delhi and Bangalore prefer renting.
  • Inflation adjusted property price rise is negative in most of the places in the country.
  • Expanding cities offer economically viable alternative for the salaried professionals to own a property at the expense of life style. 

ArthaYantra.com, India’s first Robo Financial Advisor, has today launched its 3rd edition of its annual Buy vs Rent real estate report “ArthaYantra Buy vs Rent 2015”. The report covers real estate buy and rental markets in eight major cities across India: Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai and Pune. The report provides perspective of Buying Vs Renting of properties from a personal finance perspective.

 
In order to create an objective measurement metric, ArthaYantra developed a proprietary composite score "ArthaYantra Buy vs. Rent Score" (ABRS)™ to address the buy vs. rent discourse. ABRS™ not only helps in making the Rent vs Buy decision but also explains affordability and the need to buy or rent in a particular city. It uses a host of parameters including, salaries, taxation, prices to arrive at a recommendation.

ArthaYantra’s research addresses important consumer questions such as: 

How much more money does a professional need to shell out for buying a home compared to renting it? 
At what salary level should a professional buy a property?
At what salary level should a professional Rent a property?
ABRS™ answers these questions by considering three important factors: rental value, property price and gross income. 

Nitin B. Vyakaranam, CEO ArthaYantra, adds

 “It is important to have an objective personal finance perspective when making the buy vs rent decision. Often our emotion drives the decision, not numbers. With ABRS report, ArthaYantra has given a tool for every individual in India to get this objective view. Each individual or family makes a real estate buy or rent decision, based on their financial conditions, our report will help them in this decision making process”.
