posted on 19 MaySite visit in Vasundhara — my rent vs buy calculations are surprising
Visited a few 2BHKs in Vasundhara last weekend, specifically some Shipra projects. Honestly, sab log Ghaziabad mein property kharidne ko glorify karte hain, but the math for rent vs. buy is just not adding up for end-users right now, especially for a 2BHK under ₹70L. The effective EMI plus maintenance and property tax often exceeds what you'd pay in rent for a similar unit. Even with the Delhi-Meerut Expressway and Metro Red Line extension, I'm not seeing the appreciation potential justifying the higher monthly outflow compared to renting and investing that difference. I've seen this pattern before in other NCR areas. Are people just ignoring the opportunity cost for a perceived asset? Kya lagta hai? Change my mind.

Honestly, your math totally resonates with me! I've been looking at 2BHKs in Ahinsa Khand 1 and the EMIs are just brutal. Renting feels like the only sensible option right now.
U2, that
But bhai, isn't property an investment? Renting is just throwing money away, right? What about capital appreciation in the long run?
