Ahmedabad most affordable housing mkt; Mumbai unaffordable: Report

Ahmedabad is the most affordable housing market among eight major cities while Mumbai is unaffordable due to high EMI to total income ratio, according to Knight Frank. According to Knight Frank's Affordability Index 2021 report released on Wednesday, Indian markets are at their decadal best in terms of housing affordability. Decline in house prices and multi-decade low home loan interest rates have helped improve housing affordability in 2021, it added. The affordability index indicates the proportion of income that a household requires, to fund the equated monthly instalment (EMI) of a housing unit in a particular city. So, the index level of 40 per cent for a city implies that on an average, households in that city need to spend 40 per cent of their income to fund the EMI of housing loan for that unit. An EMI to total income ratio over 50 per cent is considered unaffordable. Knight Frank said that the affordability ratio in Delhi-NCR improved maximum, from 38 per cent in 2020 t
