Home Purchase Goal

🏡Your Dream Home, Fully Funded

Save the down payment. Skip the EMI stress.

A home is likely the biggest cheque you'll ever write. We help you save the 20–25% down payment through goal-based SIPs, choose the right debt/equity mix based on your timeline, and avoid overleveraging so your EMI never exceeds 35–40% of income.

Strategy

How we'll approach it

Timeline-based mix

3–5 years: hybrid + short-duration debt. 5–7 years: 60% equity / 40% debt. 7+ years: mostly equity SIPs.

Down payment first

Aim for 25% down payment — it slashes your EMI, saves ₹10–20L in interest, and improves loan approval.

Protect the goal

6 months before purchase, shift accumulated corpus to liquid funds so a market dip doesn't derail your plan.

Loan hygiene

Keep EMI within 35–40% of net income. Prefer floating-rate home loan with prepayment option; use windfalls to prepay principal.

Frequently asked

Should I invest for a down payment or take a bigger loan?

Save at least 20–25% down payment via SIPs. A bigger loan means ₹15–25L extra interest over the tenure, which almost always exceeds market gains on 'invested' money.

Which fund is safest for a 3-year home goal?

Short-duration debt funds and conservative hybrid funds. Equity is too volatile for goals under 5 years — a 2020-style drawdown could delay your purchase.

Should I prepay my home loan or invest?

Compare post-tax loan rate (~7%) vs. expected equity return (~11–12%). Usually SIPs win long-term, but prepay if the loan burden hurts sleep — peace of mind has value.
