New Year mean new beginnings for everyone and for this year try out your luck with Pakistan’s lucrative real estate market. It is the most promising investment sector of Pakistan, so our real estate experts at Lamudi, have highlighted the most promising investment hotspots of Pakistan’s liveliest city-Lahore!
Lahore: If we talk about the cultural capital of Pakistan, it has always been a firm favorite of investors, with prices in its posh localities such as Defence Housing Authority (DHA), Cantt, Bahria Town etc., rising to exorbitant levels, so much so that only the elite class can afford them now.
Looking across various metrics which we use at Lamudi, we have noticed interesting trends in the searches as well as requests of current and new customers. Hence, we bring you the most searched localities for houses and plots in Lahore, to help you make your investment decision.
| HOUSES | |
| Area | Proportion of search they received on Lamudi |
| DHA Phase 5 | 7.98% |
| DHA Phase 3 | 5.23% |
| Cantt | 5.06% |
| Gulberg | 4.82% |
| DHA Phase 4 | 4.69% |
Comments: Currently, houses in DHA Phase 5 are the most popular and getting the highest proportion of searches on our website. This is followed by DHA Phase 3, and then by Cantt. Cantt has a huge profit margin in renovating old homes and selling them so if you have yours there, now is the right time to do it. Moving on, Gulberg is gaining a lot of searches due to being a central location with all important landmarks of Lahore, at a 5 minutes’ drive. Lastly, we have DHA Phase 4 as all phases of DHA present a safe investment opportunity. The sheer name of DHA is enough to keep the property values from dropping and thus presents minimal risk.
| LAND | |
| Area | Proportion of search they received on Lamudi |
| Bahria Town | 7.43% |
| DHA Phase 6 | 6.23% |
| Fazaia Housing Scheme | 5.37% |
| Valencia Housing Society | 4.55% |
| State Life Housing Society | 4.21% |
Comments: In the plots category, Bahria Town got the highest searches as it offers quick returns. This is followed by the newly constructed Phase 6, of DHA which requires a high initial investment. However, since the new DHA office has shifted there, it is offering good returns on investment. This is followed by Fazaia Housing Scheme which has been doing a lot of marketing lately and hence people are searching for it a lot. After this is Valencia Housing Society which is a safe investment option as its value does not drop and therefore has minimal risk involved.
