Disclaimer: MRA (Monthly Real Estate Analysis) – DHA Lahore Property Market Report as of March 2021 is a general guideline and does not cover all aspects of the market. The real estate trends vary even within blocks of the same phase and for a layman it becomes very complicated and confusing. You can now download our Google Store app and read the latest news and developments or book an appointment for a consultancy.
Current Market Condition
The extension of real estate packages has helped real estate. Therefore, prices have risen to 10% in some areas like DHA Lahore Phase 7 and other areas are also not lagging behind. Phase 8 and Phase 6 closely follow Phase 7 with prices of a 40 to 45% increase from June 2020. Possession plots have taken the lead over non-owned regions this time around.
There are also rumors of possession of Prism Phase 9 in selected blocks in the coming months. These rumors were the main reason for higher prices in 9 Prism.
The market is clearly growing and will continue to trend upwards after corrections. However, we need to look closely at the market on some Government policies, such as a construction aid plan that will end in June 2021. In addition, there are other factors like FATF policies and taxes in the 21-22 budget that may stop this upward trend . .
Traders so far have not earned much and have only shown an increase of 10 to 20%. This is unlikely to change any time soon, as housing remains the investment choice for many due to low price brackets.
DHA Phase 1 to 5
If you’re looking for investments in plots, these Phases don’t offer much. Business investments with a possibility of rental returns seem to be the best investment in these areas.
An investment opportunity exists in commercials and apartments of Goldcrest Mall. Mall was sold with a 6% local guarantee in the second half of 2020 and now some options are for sale. As of today it is the best rental option available in DHA Lahore and is expected to give you 100% capital gains in 5 years along with over 50% increased rent over the same period.
Now that the Mall is operational and partial ownership of housing is expected soon. We will see a solid increase in the prices of these apartments raising them anywhere between 22000 and 24000 per sq. Km.
Phase 5 M block will remain stable.
DHA-Phase 6
DHA Lahore Phase 6 tends to make some corrections as such, however, we can see reduced commercial performance.
The surprise last month was Defense Raya, where the prize almost doubled after a few days. I see it as a clear sign of market manipulation by the big fish and it is best to stay away. Even if prices stabilize now it is no longer an investment opportunity as we have not yet seen the rental potential of this area.
MB commercials provide the best rental revenue percentage in DHA Lahore among all other commercial areas. In my opinion, if you have the resources, this is the best investment in DHA Lahore right now.
Recommendation
a. You can safely invest/buy residential plots in DHA Lahore phase 6 to build your home or general investment.
b. You can purchase a promotional video at Main MB for rental income.
approx. Stay away from Defense Raya Commercial.
DHA-Phase 7
Housing in DHA Lahore Phase 7 has outstandingly performed and grown from 45 to 50% since June 2020. Hope it will yield another substantial increase is sincerely impossible. Our strategy is to wait for a correction now. Unless you urgently want to build a house, I see no harm.
Although I don’t really like ads in Phase 7, it doesn’t change the fact that they are lowest. If you are willing to be patient, it could be considered a decent choice for rent generation.
Recommendation
a. It is a good option for a short sale and to create your own house.
b. Long-term holding of a business plot for future rentals may work for some people.
DHA-Phase 8
Residential plots of DHA Lahore Phase 8 Proper also scored up to 40%. In my opinion it was and still is a safer bet, as I expect it to be more stable than Phase 7 in the future. Even if you’re not looking for short-term gains, Phase 8 itself is certainly the strongest candidate for long-term performance
Broadway commercial One of the best business investments you can make today, in the long run. The price here has grown by 20% since June 2020. I see a broad path as a stable trading zone that will slowly add capital gains along with consistent lull income. Building Shopping Centers in various phases of DHA Lahore may be one of the reasons we are seeing lower growth in some commercials including Broadway commercials.
Ex-park view of Phase 8 is a very good choice for residential buyers, especially for 2 channel category.
4 Marla commercial files from Ex Park View The file has been trading at around 25 Million marks for some time and electoral rumors are in the air. It is best to wait and invest in it at lower prices.
Z Green ivy there is no place you would want to go in these times of uncertainty.
Recommendation
a. We recommend buying residential land for investing or building houses.
b. Buy 4 files Marla Shivpur or Malikpur in Phase 8 Ex Park View at lower prices.
approx. Buy 4 merchandise Marla between 400 to 500 lacquers and 8 Marla between 800 and 1000 lacquers in good Broadway locations for rent.
DHA Phase 9 City
9 City recently saw some traction in February 2020 and it looks like it could perform better in March and April. I expect an increase of 10 to 20% at the maximum in joint months.
Recommendation
a. It is best if you want to build your house.
DHA Phase 9 Prism
Prices at 9 Prism have gained some 30 to 40% depending on the location. In any case, the upward trend in Phase 9 Prism is not related to amnesty. This may take some time even after the end of amnesty.
DHA has so far not announced any news and even our terrestrial survey suggests that it is not ready to own it in such a short time. I will post a development video update of 9 Prism soon.
Recommendation
a. This is a great time to exit and you can re-enter correction.
DHA-Phase 10
Free area, for now, best to invest in developed areas of DHA Lahore. However, if you have a long-term goal of 7 to 10 years, you can look at it.
Recommendation
a. Rather wait a bit.
DHA-Phase 11 Rahber
The prices in Phase 2 ext or DHA Rahber sector 4, which voted in 2019, are still quite attractive for investments. Although a non-owned area, yet low prices make it an attractive investment for next 2 to 3 years.
Recommendation
a. The residential area can now also give a very good return after 2 to 3 years if we buy at lower prices.
