Market Trend July 2016 DHA Lahore
Bird Eye View: Market Trend July 2016 DHA Lahore
In our effort to bring you more valuable news and analysis every month on regular basis. The market trend July 2016 DHA Lahore is as follows.
Implication of Enhanced Tax Net on Real Estate
The government of Pakistan has announced to increase taxation on real estate. The details of exact tax rates is not yet clear as an increase on CGT is also suggested and use of commercial rates instead of DC Values determined by the Provincial Government for taxation purpose. The impact of these taxes will be clearly visible in a few days . However presently the market is awaiting more clarification regarding the new tax system and ratios.
Although the DC rates for 2016 – 2017 have already been enhanced , the rumors are that taxation will be done on the actual values determined by the evaluaters of State Bank and FBR.
Presently a lot of rumors are circling around creating confusion. Once the entire details of these taxes are known, i will explain its effect on local real estate in full detail.
But is it Bad news really ?
Let us all wait for the situation to get clear .Right now i believe taxing black money is a good thing as long as it is aimed at the corrupt and tax evaders. Any such policy will have very positive impact on the economy of Pakistan and real estate sector in the long run.
Let us be clear on a few facts :
1. Prices in developed areas are not subject to investment of black money, rather are more dependent on there expected rental returns and genuine market growth.
2. In previous 3 months property prices in DHA Lahore have increased by 20 to 30 % and we still see everyone willing to buy at higher price. A higher tax rate may just add to the property price in developed areas.
3. Investment oriented un-developed real estate sectors such as 9 Prism , which do not give you any genuine yield , rather are dependent on the black money investors and “greater fool theory” may actually suffer from these new taxes.
4. The prices of real estate does not depend on the taxes rather depend on the purchasing power parity.
Case Study :
The price of commercial real estate in Broadway Phase 8 is determined by its possible rental value.
Average Price of 8 Marla Plot: 100000000/– (100M)
Cost of construction : 30000000/–(30 M)
Expected Rental Value per month = 700000 /–
What should you be expecting?
It will be a very good news for genuine buyers .
Bad news for the black money investors who are cause of market bubbles in real estate.

a. Commercial files have increased by 7 Million very quickly as we suggested in the last month analysis. We do not see them rising any further from here on.
Recommendation

DHA Phase 9 Prism
The news of increased taxes may actually effect 9 prism negatively . The issue with non developed real estate is that its prices are subject to steep up trends and down trends on expectations rather than ground reality. Market Trend July 2016 DHA Lahore for phase 9 prism is very negative.
Keep your eyes and ears open for
a. We will not invest in Phase 9 Prism under these circumstances and wait till we are clear about the new taxation system.
Recommendation
a. Sell residential and Sell Commercial .
B. Do not buy in blocks such as A , B and C which are too high. We recommend buying a mediocre plot in 65 to 75 Lacs any where though in 9 prism.
DHA Phase 11 Rahber
As per expected Market Trend July 2016 DHA Lahore the prices in Rahber may come to halt. A minor correction is expected however influx of foreign investors may just let the boat sail smoothly.
Keep your eyes and ears open for
a. We expect the residential plot prices to remain stable this month , we believe we have reached the top prices in Rahber as of now. However balloting news may just sky rocket the prices again , which is rumored to be this year.
Recommendation
a. Sell what you have.

what are now price of 5 marla plot in dha phase 6 minimum after implementation of taxes ??
The prices of 10 Marla vary from 65 to 90 Lacs depending on its location . Corner plots are more expensive as usual . Our team of price experts are available in the discussion forum for detailed price assessments. I will encourage you to post a question there for more information.
Jazak Allah
Dear Shahnawaz, I have a 5 marla residential plot in DHA 9 town block B on good location. Can you please advise me what are the chances of its price increase if I hold it for further 3 to 5 months? Would appreciate your analysis on this. Thanks & Regards
I am a fan of 9 town and i believe the prices are reasonable so far . I do believe that it will show you a steady growth . Selling price in 9 town shall be 7 Million.
Great article!
You might want to consider other projects like bahria, lake city and fazia?
We will only be working on projects which we believe are best for investments. Presently we work in DHA Lahore, Gujranwala and Multan. Real estate is always a local market. Why should you invest some where else when you have a more safe , secure and trustable society which offers you better opportunities?
We are presently studying Gawader from investment point of view and will shortly update our viewers about it.

Dear shahnawaz
I do appreciate your grip on the subject. How do you analyze 9 town file of F block, under the prevailing circumstances. Should I hold or dispose it off.
Regards
Qasim Alvi
I see 9 town as a much better investment than 9 prism when it comes to 5 Marla plots. I will however prefer to buy a possession plot as File of F block is around 44 lacs and add 9 Lacs development charges it will cost you 53 Lacs. You can get a reasonably good possession plot in 55 to 60 Lacs.
I do understand that 9 lacs has to be paid in installments but remember you are buying a file , how sure are you that you will get a plot in good location?.
Regrads
Development work is going to be start in DHA ph 8ivy green Z block.how much price difference is expected and government tax also effect military benefits(war injured) plot in z block .your kind words and expert opinion should we hold this plot are get rid of because installment plan is till 2033.
Dear Wasim Khan,
In my opinion i do not see any price hike in Z Block phase 8 on the news of development work. Firstly because the present prices are already inflated and secondly if the taxes get imposed Phase 8 , Z Block ivy green may actually lose some of its price bubble.
However good news about tax reduction and injection of short term traders in Z Block may inflate the prices a bit , but i will consider it as a fake bubble , which will burst soon enough. A genuine and honest price assessment for a 5 Marla plot in phase 8 Z Block should not be more than 4.5 Million.
Much better is to purchase a 5 Marla Plot in 9 town for 5.5 Million which is fully developed and in possession.
Regards
Dear Shahnawaz
What are your comments about investing in H Block of prism for long term ..
I will wait for the market correction before investing in 9 prism or atleast wait for a few more days to see how the trend develops. We are hopeful that the market will sustain these taxes however if it goes into correction mode, DHA Phase 9 Prism will be the biggest sufferer because it is not yet developed.
Thanks a lot Dr Athar Rauf.
An excellent and composed view it really opened my regarding purchase and sell in dha
