I personally feel buying home early is much better, the rate at which your salary will increase will be much lower than the rate at which property price appreciates. (Again this depends on location of the property).
I would suggest to first look TP Scheme (town planning scheme) of your city where you are planning to buy a house.
This will help you decide location where you will get good appreciation. Generally TP schemes are passed for many years ahead.
Also if you have someone in SBI or other govt banks you can also get inside information if any loan/project is approved for state government from those planned under TP scheme.
I have CTC less than yours but as of now i own 4 properties in 2 cities, all at 6-8 lane roads, with metro and dmart etc nearby.
Always look for proposed roads under TP schemes. Once road is there, everything will come in few years. Good connectivity is key to great appreciation in property value.
Also, if you have a home loan don't look it as burden, but it is one step forward to your financial freedom. It will stop you from doing unnecessary expenses. Also it can provide you good rental income, tax benefit (if you have taken home loan).
To summarise, i would suggest to go ahead with buying your home, first look for TP scheme and based on that, try to book under-construction property (if buying home in a appartment/society).
