If you\u2019re planning to invest in property this year, some cities are far more affordable than others in terms of monthly EMIs and income-to-loan ratio.<\/p>\n<p>A recent analysis by property consultancy Knight Frank India has revealed the most affordable Indian cities to buy a home in 2026, based on EMI-to-income ratios. The study also highlights how much of your monthly income would typically go toward paying home loan EMIs in these cities.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at the key findings.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is the EMI-to-Income Ratio?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The EMI-to-income ratio is a straightforward method for assessing housing affordability.
