There are 3 stages in any individuals life, it starts at an early age when one starts earning and saving for future, the second stage when one is settled in career and looks at upgrading lifestyle for a better standard of living, the third stage is when one needs time for self as has done well in life and now is the time to stay away from the daily routine work & live a much more relaxed life. The need for a home is there at all these stages but preference & choice will change depending on the stage.
Emerging Stage – This is normally when one is in the age bracket of 20 to 30, the focus is to work hard, emerge in life & look at saving more money for future. The preference at this stage will be to procure your first home as an investment or to stay in it. As one just starts earning at this stage, so affordability is the most important criteria when selecting the right property to buy. The options available to fit in budget will be in developing areas on the outskirts of the city, this also gives an advantage of price appreciation at a faster pace with the growth of infrastructure at these locations. The merit at this stage is that one can take more risk as you have time with you, parking 60% of your income towards home loan Emi is easily achievable as the salary will always increase at this stage at a faster pace so the exposure towards EMI’s will keep on reducing year on year, helping to save more and prepay the home loan in a lesser tenure & also save more.
