Thinking of Buying a Home? Here’s Why 2025 Might Be the Perfect Time
If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a home, this year could be your golden opportunity. The 2025 Union Budget brings game-changing policies that increase affordability, boost tax savings, and accelerate stalled projects—all designed to make homeownership more accessible than ever before.
But what exactly does this mean for you? Let’s break it down:
1. More Money in Your Pocket: Higher Tax Exemptions
Here’s some great news: The government has raised the income tax exemption limit to ₹1.28 million per year, up from ₹700,000.
Why This Matters:
✅ You save more money on taxes ✅ More disposable income to put towards your home loan down payment or EMIs ✅ Easier financial planning for first-time homebuyers

2. Tax Relief for Multiple Properties
For those looking to buy a second home or invest in real estate, the government has made a game-changing move:
🔹 You can now claim the annual value of two self-occupied properties as zero—eliminating the tax burden on a second home.
Translation? More savings and greater flexibility in real estate investments.

Why This is a Big Deal:
✅ If you already bought a delayed home, expect faster delivery ✅ Boosts confidence in the real estate market ✅ Fewer risks for new homebuyers and investors
