Renting a 2 or 3 bed and under 1500sqft aithe cheaper but when we buy we usually go for bigger house. But I know some ppl who bought townhouses and their monthly EMI + taxes etc etc is almost or just couple hundred $$ more than rent so in that case owing is always best. 

30 yrs tharuvatha house ento kontha appreciate avthundi...plus all that principal amount you paid is yours. Interest and property tax gone I agree but principal + appreciated amount is yours. If you continue to stay in that property after loan is paid off then you just have to pay taxes and repairs etc which is very less than renting. Obviously until we die, we do have to live in a house so it's just not 30 yrs of plan....it's more than that.

Above all, family of 4 plus parents occasionally visiting and local frnds and family andaru intlo enjoy chestharu and there are lot of memories that you can cherish. So house is not just for money sake, it is equally emotional and sometimes we have to let go few and sacrifice for family sake.

Owning a House is Liability not investment. You need to own house for sake of family depends on where you live.

I totally agree, there's no point in owing a house. It's no brainier. When you calculate the interest and total payments at the end of the ownership it's a big disaster. For instance $500k house with 4% interest will cost you $960k at the end of 30 years.

Isn't the interest rate higher in India comparatively ?

Maybe because income in India is not so great so obviously it makes it harder to pay off.
