Mid-market 2BHKs in Aman Vihar, Banjarawala, and near the IT Park list at ₹40-55 lakh; Rajpur Road and Sahastradhara Road run ₹60 lakh+. Some localities have doubled in three years.

The cash you actually need upfront in Dehradun

The down payment is only part of it. For a median Dehradun 2BHK at ₹50.0 lakh, here is the cash you need before the keys change hands — none of it can be borrowed in the home loan.

Down payment (20%)₹10,00,000
Stamp duty + registration (7%)₹3,50,000
Brokerage (~1%, if using an agent)₹50,000
Total cash needed₹14,00,000

Excludes interiors, furniture and society deposits — budget another 5-10% of the property value if the flat is unfurnished. Stamp duty is charged on the higher of your price and the state's government valuation: check the Uttarakhand circle rate.

Owning vs renting in Dehradun, month by month

Owning (median 2BHK)
₹40,156
  • EMI on ₹40.0 lakh at 9% / 20 yrs: ₹35,989
  • Maintenance & repairs (~1%/yr): ₹4,167
  • Plus annual property tax — municipal rates
Renting the same flat
₹18,000

Owning costs about ₹22,156 more per month here. Investing that gap while renting is the honest alternative — though your EMI builds equity and rent does not.

Ownership figures assume a 20% down payment and a 9% loan; your rate and the flat's age will move them. The EMI also stops after 20 years, while rent keeps rising — the longer you stay, the better buying looks.

What this means

At ₹50,000 net income with ₹0 existing EMIs and a 45% FOIR cap, you can support a max EMI of ₹22,500. That maps to a ₹25.0 lakh loan over 20 years at 9%. Adding your ₹10,00,000 down payment gives a max home price of ₹35,00,761. For comfort, aim for the 85% mark — about ₹29,75,647.

* Stamp duty (5-8%) and registration are NOT financed by the home loan and must come from your savings on top of the down payment.

* FOIR is bank-side; banks may approve 50-55% FOIR for high credit scores. Lower it to 35-40% if your job/income is volatile.
