Bengaluru Housing Prices Challenge 25-Year-Old Earning Rs 1.8 Lakh Monthly
A 25-year-old cybersecurity professional in Bengaluru earning Rs 1.8 lakh monthly shared his difficulty affording a home despite strict budgeting and investing Rs 75,000 monthly through SIPs. He found that even a 2BHK flat near Indiranagar or Whitefield costs around Rs 1.3 crore, prompting uncertainty about whether to continue saving or buy now. Online commenters noted high property listings amid low demand and debated the likelihood of a housing price crash, with some suggesting resale flats as alternatives.
