The Honest Answer to Rent vs Buy in Ahmedabad
Property prices in Ahmedabad have appreciated 6–9% annually in established corridors like Bopal, SG Highway, and Chandkheda over the last 5 years. But buying also involves stamp duty (4.9%), registration (1%), maintenance, and loan interest. Renting keeps capital liquid for investment.
There is no universal answer. The right decision depends on your timeline, down payment available, expected tenure in the city, and what returns you could earn by investing your down payment instead. This calculator runs both scenarios with your numbers to show which genuinely wins over your planned horizon.
