The rule

The Moon in one of the six buying stars, Revatī, Śatabhiṣā, Aśvinī, Svātī, Śravaṇa or Citrā, on any weekday. MC 2.16 gives no tithi, weekday or lagna for buying. MC 2.16, commentary p. 63

The windows leave out the same stretches as every buying list of the muhurta finder, listed below; they are the finder’s exclusions, not part of MC 2.16.

Stars to avoid for buying

MC 2.16 bars for buying the selling stars of 2.17: the three Pūrvas, Viśākhā, Kṛttikā, Āśleṣā and Bharaṇī. The commentary counts every other star as middling for buying. MC 2.16⁠–⁠2.17, commentary p. 63

Whose muhurat counts

The buyer’s. When a seller must sell as soon as a buyer appears, only the buyer’s muhūrta is checked. MC 2.16 commentary, p. 63

What the times leave out

Windows under 5 minutes are dropped.

Buying is not moving in

Moving in has its own rules: the house-entry dates. An adhika month bars building a house and moving in, but not buying. MC 1.46⁠–⁠47; DS p. 4 Griha pravesh muhurat 2028

Pitru Paksha and night

The texts list the acts barred in an adhika month, and buying is not one of them, so adhika months keep their dates. The texts read set no bar on buying during Pitṛ-pakṣa, and none at night. MC 1.46⁠–⁠47; DS p. 4

Popular practice: Many families avoid new purchases during Pitru Paksha. The texts read give no such rule, so those dates stay in the list. Pitru Paksha dates

Other years: Property purchase muhurat 2026, Property purchase muhurat 2027; all property purchase dates. For a car or a two-wheeler: vehicle purchase muhurat 2028.

Questions

From the Muhūrta-cintāmaṇi and the Dharmasindhu, with the page for each.

When are the property purchase dates in 2028?

In Delhi, 106 dates, from Saturday, 1 January to Tuesday, 26 December: 10 in January, 10 in February, 8 in March, 8 in April, 6 in May, 8 in June, 10 in July, 11 in August, 10 in September, 10 in October, 8 in November, 7 in December. The table gives each date’s nakṣatra, tithi and windows. MC 2.16, commentary p. 63

Which nakshatra is good for buying property?

The six buying stars of MC 2.16: Revatī, Śatabhiṣā, Aśvinī, Svātī, Śravaṇa and Citrā. The three Pūrvas, Viśākhā, Kṛttikā, Āśleṣā and Bharaṇī are barred for buying. MC 2.16⁠–⁠2.17, commentary p. 63

Do the texts give a rule for buying land or a house?

No separate one. These dates follow Muhurta Chintamani’s general rule for buying (MC 2.16), which names no tithi, weekday or lagna. MC 2.16

Is the purchase date the same as the griha pravesh date?

No. Buying follows the general buying rule of MC 2.16; moving in has its own rules, the house-entry dates. An adhika month bars moving in, but not buying. MC 2.16; MC 1.46⁠–⁠47; DS p. 4

Can I buy property in Pitru Paksha or an adhika month?

The texts read give no rule against it: buying is not on the adhika lists, and no Pitṛ-pakṣa bar was found. Many families avoid new purchases during Pitru Paksha. The texts read give no such rule, so those dates stay in the list. MC 1.46⁠–⁠47; DS p. 4

Why is the date different in my city?

The star, the tithi and the barred stretches turn at the same moments everywhere, but sunrise and the day’s divisions come at the city’s own hours, so a window can start or end on another date, or vanish, in another city.

How the dates are found

Read the methodology
Buying
The Moon in a buying star, on any weekday (MC 2.16): the general rule, since the texts read give none for a house or land.
Windows
The stretches of the day that pass every bar of the muhurta finder for buying; under 5 minutes are dropped. The texts give no time of day.
Sunrise and sunset
At the centre of the Sun’s disc, with refraction, for the chosen city. Every time is that city’s own.
