Present Market Condition
Market has been generally slow in the past month, however is expected to pick up pace in coming months. There have been a lot of conflicting news during the past month regarding allowing non tax filers to purchase property and at the end it was finally decided that only expats will be allowed to purchase land as non tax filers and local nationals who are non tax filers will not be entertained.
In October we have launched imlaak constructions and the first project under its banner with the name of imlaak homes. It consists of 5 Marla house in 9 Town on 9 and 12 months installment plans.
I will suggest that you should share this information with any one who is looking to buy a house in DHA Lahore so that we can provide him with one of the best houses available in the market.
Prices have remained stable in almost all sectors in DHA Lahore during October and will probably remain as such in November as well.
Lets have a look at each sector of DHA Lahore one by one:
DHA Phase 1 to 5
Goldcrest DHA Lahore Mall and Residency project is performing as per expectations and I will suggest that you should invest in the few 3 bed apartments which are left at the launch price as premium is increasing on the smaller apartments every month. You can watch the latest update video below.
Phase 5 M block ext has lost some ground recently but a good investment for 3 to 4 years and will give good returns.
As for the remaining areas they remain stable and nothing much to report.
DHA Phase 6
DHA Lahore Phase 6 remains stable as usual and continues to grow slowly. E block ext 5 Marla and 10 Marla plots offer a lot of promise in days to come and may be a good area to invest in midterm as possession is expected in a couple of months and will also provide a window for short-term trades.
We have discussed about opportunities in DHA Raya commercials and homes previously with you as well and once again I would like you to repeat the same. I have studied this project in detail and i have found it to be a good investment.
Watch the video to find out why I like it.
Recommendation
a. Buy residential plots in DHA Lahore phase 6 for safe investment as it will continue to grow steadily over the years.
b. Good opportunity to buy commercial on Main MB in front of N and L Blocks of Phase 6 and P block of Phase 7.
c. Defence Raya commercial plaza is a great option specially because you have to pay in 3 years progressive installments for investment and 1 kanal homes are great for genuine buyers who want to live in a peaceful soothing environment and be a proud owner of a Golf view Villa.
DHA Phase 7
Same as previous month
DHA Lahore Phase 7 is now bouncing back specially after the news of possession of lower portions of T,U,X and Y in addition to Z1 and Z2. Another factor which will grow Phase 7 in days to come is the rapid construction of houses. As of now in terms of transactions it is only second to 9 Prism.
I am in favor of building a home in Phase 7 rather than buying it for investment purpose , so watch the video and find out why.
Recommendation
a. Now it is making some sense to invest in Phase 7 at lower prices, specially if you plan to hold it for a year or more.
DHA Phase 8
Same as last month
Phase 8 is now seeing interest from potential builders who are eyeing it for their next construction project in 2019 and beyond. Phase 8 offers a steady growth in years to come.
Broadway commercial One of the best commercial investments you can make today, watch the video below to understand residential and commercial investments in Phase 8 of DHA Lahore.
Ex Park view of Phase 8 is a great option for genuine buyers and the prices are still my favorite for a 2 Kanal plot. Reasonably good plot is available in almost 400 lacs and i believe it is the best area in entire DHA Lahore to buy a 2 Kanal plot in this price.
4 Marla commercial files of Ex Park View The prices actually went below 220 Lacs and we did gave a signal for a short-term trade in June, however now the prices are back to 240 Lacs and above. It is still a buy for me as I believe that it holds great potential in long-term.
Z Ivy green as suggested in Sep is going to improve in coming months, this is the right time to start investing.
Recommendation
a. We strongly recommend to buy residential plots for investment or if you wish to make your own house.
b. Buy 4 Marla Shivpur or Malikpur files in Phase 8 Ex Park View anywhere between 220 to 250 Lacs.
c. We will now recommend you to buy 4 Marla commercial between 400 to 500 Lacs and 8 Marla between 750 to 950 Lacs in good areas of Broadway.
d. Last but not the least Z ivy green is ripe for investments.
DHA Phase 9 Town
Imalak has recently launched a project of 5 Marla homes in 9 Town on 9 and 12 months installment plans. It is a great solution for any one who is looking for a budget house in DHA Lahore.
Recommendation
a. Prices will rise higher but presently they offer optimum returns since i gave a signal to buy 7 months back and if you have purchased since Oct 2017 now i will recommend selling out and exiting safely with max profits if the only purpose of your investment was to make money. Those of you who have purchased at higher prices , you may wait for a few more months before an exit.
DHA Phase 9 Prism
9 Prism has slowed down a bit specially the 1 Kanal plots, however 5 Marla plots are performing better in terms of sale and resale.
Commercial prices on the other hand are high in 9 Prism and are totally inflated, even if they don’t go down much they are not expected to rise as well so will be a dead investment for a few years.
Recommendation
a. Hold it for long-term or sell during an upswing.
b. Buying is recommended at this time for long-term investment only.
DHA Phase 10
No change from Sep 2018
Trading again between 52 to 55 Lacs and not at all a buy zone for us. Predicting about Phase 10 may be hard at this time however it is a good investment at 45 Lacs and below.
Recommendation
a. It is better to wait now for prices to slip and make a short term trade, if it reaches 45 Lacs.
DHA Phase 11 Rahber
Prices of 4 Marla commercials have gone down to 175 to 180 lacs and it offers a great opportunity to invest as of now.
Recommendation
a. We recommend buying 4 Marla commercial at 175 Lacs for a Short term investment.
b. The residential file however is trading at 30 Lacs which is again not a very attractive price for investment.

Dear Tahir,
It all depends when you want to build your house, it is on the bedian road side and will need some time before it gets populated.
I will just say that it will depend on your personal preference and investment.
Jazak Allah
Hi captain, what’s your take on 5 Marla dha halloki gardens , i have a plot there ! Heard that covered area is only 3.5 marla , not sure if this is correct? Thinking of selling it rather than constructing house there …..
