Mumbai Homes Cost Crores. What Are You Really Paying For? | Faye D’Souza With Ravi Kewalramani

Who can still afford a home in Mumbai, and does buying one always make financial sense? Faye D’Souza joins realtor Ravi Kewalramani to explore Mumbai’s property market, from extraordinary luxury homes to the realities of down payments, EMIs, and renting. The episode begins with a tour of the historic, sea-facing Leela Bungalow in Juhu, before moving into a conversation about what buyers are really paying for: location, lifestyle, investment potential, or a sense of security. Faye questions who is buying Mumbai’s most expensive homes and whether the city is building enough housing people can afford. Ravi shares his perspective on ownership, cautions against borrowing beyond your means, and explains why choosing a home to live in is different from choosing an investment. In this episode: • What ₹1 crore can buy in Mumbai • When to buy a home, and when to keep renting • Down payments, home loans, and the gap between rental income and EMIs • Who is buying luxury properties and the role of NRI buyers • How broker commissions work • Mumbai versus Dubai real estate • Redevelopment, the Coastal Road, and Ravi’s outlook for Versova and Sewri • Why footpaths, public transport, and parks matter alongside new infrastructure • Commercial shops versus residential flats as investments • Gen Z buyers, family relationships, and the emotional meaning of ownership Would you buy a smaller home in a location you love, move further out for more space, or keep renting?
