For making an investment decision in cities other than Karachi, Islamabad and Lahore, investors have limited options in terms of sound housing societies. With renowned developers looking to venture the smaller cities of Pakistan, we expect growth in property markets of these cities. If we look at investment options in Islamabad and its less hip twin, Rawalpindi, Bahria Town emerges as one of the best localities. For those planning to cash on rising value of real estate in the twin city of Pakistan’s capital, Bahria Town Rawalpindi is perhaps their only choice. But what should they buy in Bahria Town Rawalpindi in 2014? We might just have the right answers for you.
In the last one year, a sharp and shocking rise was witnessed in sale price of 5 and 10 Marla residential plots in Bahria Town Rawalpindi. According to statistics maintained by Zameen.com, a 5 Marla plot that had an average asking sale price of Rs. 1,484,194 back in January 2013 jumped to Rs. 3,243,899 in January 2014, which is a 118.56% rise in just one year. Now, if we compare the current average sale price of 5 Marla residential plots in Rawalpindi (Rs. 3,142,566) with that of similar plots in Bahria Town (Rs. 3,243,899), there is a difference of 3.22%, which is pretty reasonable for a city like Rawalpindi. It is not hard to gauge that the present year would not have much pleasant surprises for those planning to invest in smaller plots of Bahria Town Rawalpindi.
Similarly, the average sale price of 10 Marla plots in Rawalpindi Bahria Town has increased by 105% during the last one year. The current value of these plots is Rs. 5,967,304 which is 2% higher than the average value of the same sized plots in the city. Although the figure suggests that the sale price of 10 Marla plots in Bahria Town has a fair margin to increase further but looking at the 105% rise recorded during the last 12 months suggest that rate of price hike of these plots will slow down in 2014. On the other hand, there are a limited number of bigger residential plots available in the prime areas of Rawalpindi. In Bahria Town too, the number of 1 & 2 Kanal plots are half the number of 5 & 10 Marla plots.
It is also interesting to note that value of 5 and 10 Marla plots in Bahria Town continues to rise in 2014 and these plots experienced no effect of the year end low real estate activity. On the other hand, average asking sale price of 1 and 2 Kanal plots has dropped in 2014. As per statistic of Zameen.com, average sale price of 1 Kanal plots in Bahria Town increased by 96.39% from January 2013 to December 2013. In January 2014, however, their sale price dropped by 14.70%, which was fairly in response to the year end low real estate activity. For 2 Kanal plots in Bahria Town, 2013 brought along a price hike of 56%, where as, their value dropped by 40% in January 2014.
Based on these findings, I foresee a rather good current year for bigger plots in Bahria Town since the percentage rise in smaller plots has reached its saturation point. There are perks of investing in smaller plots but for Bahria Town Rawalpindi, 2014 is the year for bigger plots. Let’s see how the things would unfold for the locality. If you think otherwise, please let me know.

Progressively maintenance and upgrading of bahria town rawalpindi is deteriorating rapidly maybe due to negligent administration.
You are absolutely correct, Dr Sahib. Blocked & overflowing gutters, especially around cul-de-sacs in residential streets, are there for anyone to see. The maintenance administration is unresponsive despite repeated complaints and visits. If you persist, they come to dig up the place, create a greater mess, and forget about it for months. Senior management continuously remains inaccessible.

This cannot be said prehand, but looking at the past record of Bahria Town, the community has performed very well with its all new projects. For Peshawar, you know there are limited real estate investment options. But with Bahria Town venturing the city, i expect growth in the property market here. So, i think you should consider investing there. In addition to that, Zameen.com’s forum is very active when it comes to making a sound investment decision, you can always post your query there and let the experts guide you with their professional opinions.

Hello Samra,
I am confused on buying a plot either in Bahria Phase-9 or in a new housing scheme called Taj Residencia that is in the pre-launch stage and the owner of Centaurus is behind it. What do you suggest?
Well Samra,
I read all the predictions and responses and decided to jump-in just for two reasons, 1st being my own investment in Bahria Phase-8 in residential and Garden City commercial plots, 2ndly I do have the intuition to read lot of stuff and monitor the upheavels at the real estate junctures around the country as well as in United Arab Emirates where I am basd for last 2 decades. I assume based on technical and practucal statistics that 2014 year will witness a moderation in Bahria town Rawalpindi plot prices, I mean that prices will be more on stable side rather than swinging upside-down. Moreover, the Bahria town’s management’s main focus is to establish Karachi, interior sindh and Peshawar markets so the pindi and lahore market may not see any surprises during 2014. Hope my predictions proves me wrong…as I could b one of the victim if it proves right. Have a good day,,,,
Your judgement makes sense. My findings are based on stats, yours is on reasons and its a valuable one. Let’s just hope that the future of Bahria Town Rawalpindi benefits all Pakistani investors.

any chance to start in multan..
i want to invest in multan
As and when some information is made public about Bahria Town Multan, you will find it on Zameen.com/news.
I purchased a 10 marla in zone 1 garden city for 1.43cr.
I know it’s a lot of money. But it was a plot with a really high view. The golf course can be seen from the plot location and the mosque and cinema are just 2 minutes walk away from the plot. But main thing i liked was its really high view. All the top area above mosque/cinema is a quiet area also.
I felt there is potential for price to improve especially with the new entrance due to open. What do you people think. Should i be keeping that plot, would it be worth it? or try to sell it.
Hmmm, that decision depends on how much are you offered for this plot. If the profit seems reasonable to you, you can sell it. It is hard to find buyers who have a similar liking for high views and if you would find one, you can expect to get more than the amount offered right now.
Hi again
Thank you for response
If we look at it from a generaly point of view and if i ignore how much i am getting now. Would you say that it would be beneficial to keep this plot for 2 more years and pay off the installments for it.
Or is it wiser to sell it at an early stage to make profit (i hope) and move on rather than to keep it for too long. As it is already an expensive plot. I’m thinking how well it could rise in price from 1.43cr.
Furthermore, just wondering if yourself or anyone else has an idea of if bahria have similar type of plots elsewhere and what price they are ? It is just to get an estimate of how much this plot can rise by. I heard there are similar high view plots in bahria around muree express or somewhere.
In Pakistan, when value of certain property reaches 10 million and above, its growth prospects slow down since it has limited competition in the market and thus limited number of buyers interesting in purchasing that.
About similar expensive properties in Bahria Town Islamabad, you can use Zameen.com’s search box and apply the right filters to have a look at some expensive and promising plots available for sale.
I would also recommend you to join Zameen.com’s forum as several prospect buyers and sellers are active there to find out what’s going on in the market.
AoA
what about Awami villas price……
You can check it by using Zameen.com’s search box.
How would you compare 5 and 10 marla plots in Bahria to 5 and 8 marla plots in DHA Valley – Overseas Block ?
For that, i would have to look at the stats of these two blocks. I am planning to compare ROI of DHA and Bahria Town. Stay tuned Shehzad Ali sahb,
i have three plots in garden city phase 8
they are end of corner plots
can you advise on there current value or how I can find this out as i’m an overseas buyer living in the uk
any help please
thank you
The per Marla rate of 1 Kanal plots in Garden City, Bahria Town Islamabad is 4.7 lacs
You can also use Zameen.com’s search box to see what sellers are asking for similar plots in the locality.
Please divert your attention towards phase 8 extension…here 5 marla plot is 16 lac while 10 marla is 20 lac….this area has great potential…Chakry interchange and Adyala road will be connected soon to this area…also, Pindi bypass will go through in the near vicinity…Phase 9 future is not yet decided and investment in this area is danger…
Asad, thank you for sharing your views with us. We will certainly address the sectors that interest you.
AOA I have my plot at Bahira Town Phase 8 Sector H. This Sector is now having constraction speedly. I have wated a lot to increase the prices. Could you please tell me what should be the price of 10 marla general plot at Sector H.
Thanks
Muhammad Aftab Rashid
The current rate of 10 Marla plot in Phase 8 sector H ranges between 45 to 55 lacs. I know many people who have just recently sold their Bahria Town Phase 8 property and have now invested somewhere else. You can wait by the end of March because that’s when property analysts expect to see some boost in the market.
Your suggestion noted down.
Dear Samra
Please suggest me the area on your experience basis .I want to invest 20-25 Lac and i want return in the start of 2015 nearly 40-45 Lac.
If you wish to invest in Islamabad, F11, E11 and G11 can be promising. And if you wish to invest in Lahore, i would recommend buying 10 marla plot files in DHA Phase 9.
Thanx for the reply,but i will prefer to invest in Bahria,as i ve already made successful investment over there.Secondly what about the DHA ..flats in RWP Gt road ,do they have any potential as per my requirement.
With this investment volume, you are advised to buy 5 marla plot in phase-8 sector L to K. The other options are investing in Bahria Enclave II OR Bahria Town Karachi plots which are selling in minus.
What are updates on Bahira Enclave Islamabad?
I will Insha’Allah soon prepare a mini report on that too.
I have allotted Awami Villa Premier in Sector III. I have completed 100 % payment in September 2013(additional development charges)
It was mentioned in your letter on dated 12-04-2013 that your villa get ready for possession before expiry of payment scheduled.
Up till now no possession letter was issued to me, nor villa handed over to me.
kindly inform me about the progress.
Dear Fazal Rabbi, you need to speak with the management of Awami Villa Bahria Town because they know best about the process of possession and how soon you can get one.
ASAK Samra,
Does your article pertain to all of Bahria Rawalpindi phases or only specific to Phase 1-6?
Moreover considering that Bahria Rawalpindi prices have increased significantly in the last year, in your opinion is it still a viable option for short term investment (2-3 years).?
The analysis was of Bahria Town Rawalpindi overall, with no distinction of phases.
I would say yes to your other question but there are people who believe that pace of development in Bahria Town projects in cities other than Karachi will remain slow in coming few years since the developer’s main aim would be to develop Bahria Town Karachi asap.
I would suggest you to post your concerns in Zameen.com’s forum because this is where people from the field are active. The property experts there will guide you to the best of their knowledge.
Any News Bahria Town Karachi Rdidentail Plots???? is price gonna be higher in near future?
For news about the project, you can keep browsing Zameen.com/news as well as subscribe for the daily news alerts. About your second question, i see growth in Bahria Town Karachi, so yes, property prices here will pick up in future.
Hi Samra,
I saw couple of your feedback regarding the properties in Bahria town phases specially in Pindi and slightly in karachi.
My question is that karachi being very volatile for ethnic rights even than , people are thinking to invest there.
Since how long you are in this business ?
Are you doing it for your living or just a community service ?
What would be your suggestion for me to buy an appropriate size of residential house ,which would be available for residing within 2 years of time frame . Size could be from 10 Marla to 1 kanal ,Pl don’t forget to mention the price range.
Sorry for being a bit rude.
Thanks and appreciated for being so humble and polite.

Hi Kazi Azhar sahb,
Thank you for reading this post and the comments posted here.
I agree, Karachi has lately become a little unsafe but i believe this perception is based more on what we see and hear through media. Karachi is a very normal city and despite what we get to hear through our media, life goes on here. For outsiders, investing here could be a little difficult but there are secured localities, like DHA and Clifton, where disturbed law and order was never an issue. Similarly, Bahria Town is known mostly for its guarded vicinity and protect boundaries, where surveillance and monitored entry and exit points are meant to keep its dwellers safe. I believe the safety factor is the prime reason why so many people in Karachi have shown interest and trust in Bahria Town’s Karachi projects.
For you second question, i am in this field from the last 3 years and enjoy doing it.
For buying a house, you can check the available properties on Zameen.com and browse them by applying search filters like price range, area, locality and number of bedrooms etc.
Last, you were not rude and you are welcome to post your concerns here as well as on Zameen.com forum.
Have a good day Kazi sahb.
Thanks Samra I will wait for your updated report on Bahira Enclave Islamabad.
There is a post just recently prepared on Bahria Enclave. Please browse the blog to read it.
I have two plots in Phase 9 and Bahria staff says that plots will be transferred to Phase 8 in next one or two months. I have already submitted the transfer request last year.
Any update, if you have on transfer from phase 9 to phase 8?
Riaz sahb, Bahria Town management will guide you in this regard.
Same situation is here . i have requested for the transfer of my 10 marla plot in phase 9 to phase 8 but no good news yet……silence from bahria town some estate agents claim phase-9 doestn’t even exist now
I am from Madina Manawrah. Can you please guide me regarding the defence villas in the joint venture between the dha/ Bahria project in rawalpindi bahria town .I am interested to buy a new home in good location and site in 11 marlas homes. Thanks and regards. Allah bless you.
Dear Dr. Noor,
Defence Villas is not a joint venture between DHA and Bahria Town but DHA Islmabad’s independent project, this is what their website says, you can check it here: http://www.dhai-r.com.pk/defencevillas/index.php.
The location of this project is great. Defence Villas could very well be your home with iconic lifestyle amenities of DHA. I don’t see any reason why you shouldn’t consider investing here.
Have a good day Dr. Noor.
Please Samra sahiba I will be waiting for your reply. Thanks once again.
Hi Samra,
I am living in UK so don’t know how well or poor property market is going in Bahria town phase 8.
I bought a 10 Marla plot from bahria town phase 8 sector f2 (near to main express road) back in December 2013. Can I make some profit on this plot in upcoming two to three year?
I will be really appreciated if you can give your value able advise on this?
Many Thanks
Ali
You can check the current market rate of these plots on Zameen.com and decide if the profit is reasonable enough to cash your investment. You can also post your query on the forum and let real estate experts from Islamabad guide your thoroughly in this regard.
Hi, thanks for sharing useful information about bahria projects.
My question is regarding the Bahria Enclave Phase 1, I have a 10 marla file in sector C, which i bought from market in around 1.3 million profit a couple of months back. Now the bahria managment asking to submit the installments quickly, and sending threatening letters of cancellation to the allottees.
Now those files of 10 marlas couldn’t be sold in the market even on 8 lakh RS Plus. Can you comment on how long I will have to wait and when the situation in Bahria enclave 1 will be better.
You have to put your investment on hold and make the payments as per the requirement. When the prices go down, they pressurize the investors but this is when you specifically have to stay put. For knowing more about the current status of Bahria Enclave, my advice would be to post query on Zameen.com’s forum.
Dear Samra,
According to Zameen.com sale/purchase of Awami Villa 1 (Fabricated) is between 44 to 47 lacks approx.
I have purchased one villa in (Awami Villa # 1) 05 months before. The prices are almost same as it was (as all the property prices are stable in phase 8).
I am having confusion on taking decision that shall I saleout my villa or shall I hold it, If you suggest me to hold it please do mention time duration as well.
In short, compare with below stats please let me know the future of Awami Villa 1 comparing with Awami Villa Flats “Concrete”
Draw Backs:
Awami Villa 1: Awami Villa Flats (Concrete)
1). Fabricated, 1). Not Independtent
2). Having 01 wash room 2). No Parking
Advantages:
Awami Villa 1: Awami Villa Flats
1). Independent 1). Concrete
2). Parking for almost 02 cars 2). 02 Wash Rooms
3). Having Garden on both side of parking
4). Prime Location
Considering to above stats please let me know the future & which one of these will have more demand.
Thank You
Hi Khizar sahb, your comparison suggests that Awami Villa 1 should have a better demand than Awami flats, but the popularity and demand of property also depends on sale and rental price. Much about Bahria Town’s projects in Islamabad is not clear, which is the reason why market here stays beneficial for investors.
About selling out your BT property, you should wait till the end of Q3 2014 because real estate market of Pakistan picks up during and after Chhoti and Bari Eid.
At Zameen.com’s forum, many excellent estate agents and property advisers are active. They know the ground reality and since they operate in the market, they have the latest information about property rates, demand, development status and rumors circulating the market about possession date etc. I would strongly recommend you to join the forum and keep a tab on it to stay updated about what’s happening in the market. I am sure it would of great help for you.
Have a good day Khizar.
Previously, Bahria Town Management would develop an area/sector before launching it for sale. A buyer could physically see a plot he/she was buying. One could also get immediate possession by making a lump (in certain cases half) payment. I purchased plots in phase-8, Rawalpindi (Rafi & Overseas) and constructed houses. This was business.
Having earned a goodwill and a name, Bahria has turned this into a speculative gamble now. Bahria Enclave, Islamabad is a case in point. When I purchased plots there, these were not there on ground but were at least visible on the Bahria map and I accordingly made a choice of locations. I have by now made full payments (the last installment having been paid in January 2013) but there’s not only no possession so far, the site location map has been changed several times and consequently I can’t find my plots even on the maps. The original locations I had purchased, have been handed over to a favorite who is building villas there. One can’t even protest as the Chairman/CEO are inaccessible and their minions claim to be helpless. This I think is likely to happen in Karachi and elsewhere too where actual possession of plots may be literally years away.
It’s no longer business, it’s gambling now!!
You are right about gambling, the current situation does not say otherwise.
Thanks for the crisp response in agreement.
Dear Samra,
I have recently made investment in Bahria Town Rawalpindi Phase IX. The plot size is 10 Marla. Can you please give me an idea what are the future prospective of this investment and when Bahria town is going to start development in this phase. We’ve heard that Bahria Town at the moment is accommodating Phase IX plots in Phase VIII after taking additional development charges Is it true??
Regards
Syed Anwar sahb, i can merely compare the prices of past with today and cannot predict the future. To help you with such exclusive information, Zameen.com has a very active forum. It is where experts from the field are active and willing to help you with your investment decisions. You should post your query there.
Dear Samra ,
I have two plots in BT Rawalpindi, one in phase 8 sector F-2 and other in phase 8 extension. Could you be so kind to response to my following two little questions?
When roughly the possession in F-2 will be given? My second question regard the status of phase 8 extension; when the development work in phase 8 extension will start? And lastly how do you see the price of 10 marla plot in phase 8 extension when the installment will finish in November 2014 (nowadays the profit is around 9-10 lac).
Kind Regards
Azmat
Hi Azmat Sahb.
Bahria Town releases such information mostly through print ads and these ads are seldom uploaded on their website, which is why many people miss to find out about the possession status and development pace in respective BT projects/sectors. Since i don’t represent Bahria Town, i cannot tell when are they planning to announce possession for F-2. For knowing the expected time frame for possession and status of development work in Phase 8 Extension, you can call on 0800-00100.
About the prices of 10 Marla, based on what happened in 2012 an 2013, i can safely assume that property rates of these plots can increase by 80% (at least) by the end of 2014. However, real estate analysts and estate agents believe that in 2014, the main focus of Bahria Town will remain on its Karachi’s projects, slowing down the development pace and property rates in BT Islamabad and Lahore.
In any case, you know real estate investment is mostly a long term one and waiting for a year or two is mostly worth the wait.
1.what are the prospects of bahria town karachia in short,middle&long terms. 2.Is holding plot DHA Valley &DHA 2 extension beneficial for short term 3.best option for small investor(12 to15 lacs)in Rwp/Islamabad property
You questions would be best answered by the property experts active on Zameen.com’s forum. Please visit there and post your query.
I have a 10 marla plot in Phase 8 f3 (plot number between 150-200). Coming to Pakistan in third week of April 2014. Do you think it is good time to sell and what may be the asking price? Thanks in advance for your help. How to advertise for sale?
Dear,
good job in the real estate market in pakistan by zameen.com i read all comments but i have some question whey at the end of 2013 prices are reached to top in bahria town ali block of 5 marlas as the price in the beginning of 2013 was 11 lacks and at the of the year reached to 35 lacks so can you share your ideas for the ruing year that the price will go up are down in bahria town in ali block of saffari valley as i have bought plot before 2.6 year and that time the prices for 5 marla was 8 lacks and for 7 marlas in abu bakeer and rafi block was 11 lacks and last year it’s bring good investment for investors can you share your openions what was the reason which bring prices to peck
Aoa i want to take 5 marla plot in bahria twon in islamabad i have not much money i want buy cheap plot in bahria twon isb plz some body give me sugation that what i do.
Well, only logical answer would be to increase your investment amount because property rates in Bahria won’t go down and no one will sell his plot on loss.
Salaam,I’m interested in the 5 ,and 10, marla plots I have many investors interested.
Regards
Urfan Rahman
I think that the prices of bahria phase 8 plots will further reduce in 2014 due heavy investment in BTK and it will remain like this untill the prices of bahria karachi not getting stable after a big hike and plz can you share the development status of phase 8 extension plz
How would you compare naval anchorage and Bahrai enclave. Say I have a very good 40×80 plot in Naval anchorage and a Ryan30x60 plot in Bahrai enclave which one would be worth keeping.
Regards
Salam,
I have not read all the comments but I have an question, which I think was never asked on this page:
If I have decided to invest in Bahria Town, what to buy in my limitations. Please give some idea to the small investors having 10 to 15 Lacs. Where should they invest in the current scenario of Bahria Town. Also what profit they should expect and when?
Regards

Any update about Bahria town Phase 9 merging or possession.
Not any that i have heard of. Mr Saqib may give you more details in this regard.
hi samra…..i hv a 5 marla plot in N block phase 8 BTR . WHAT IS ITS CURRENT MARKET AND IF I KEEP IT FOR 3 MONTHS FURTHER WOULD IT PAY ME RETURN?
Depending on its location (corner, main road facing, facing park etc.) this plot could have a market value ranging between PKR 2,000,000 and PKR 3,000,000.
For getting returns on it, you might have to wait for longer than 3 months because the developer’s prime focus right now is on its Karachi project. Why don’t you give Saqib Abrar a call? He deals in Bahria Rawalpindi and can guide more thoroughly: 0302-5559499.
Hello Samra
Can you give email address of Saqib Abrar
sure adeel:

Miss Samra,
As u know that recently BTK prices are increased alot.
My question is that the BTK have nothing on ground except construction of roads & street lights etc. The prices of new Bahria Homes 8 marla in khi reached to 80 lac +, 5 marla new launching are above 30 lac (Total Amount).
Comparing to phase 8 rawalpindi. BTK will approx. take min 5 years to be developed like phase 8 (e.g. having facilities of hospital, school, markets etc).
Still the prices of BTK are higher than phase 8. Can you answer what is this going on? Isn’t it very confuse situation for the genuine investors, who have only 20 – 30 lac for investment???
Technically a genuine investor will prefer to invest in phase 8 or in enclave 1. Where the prices of plots are lower than BTK & development status is 5 to 8 years ahead from BTK. only difference is BTK payment is on installments & enclave 1 & phase 8 payment is on cash.
Tell me where shall the genuine investor invest at this time if he/she have only 20-30 lac.
BTK or Bahria town phase 8 & Enclave???
I hope to get a loyal answer in this regard. Which may help many in this confuse situation.
In my view BTK 250 yards plot investment is better as compare to phase 8 plots investment, In 20-30 lac u can buy 2 to 3 fiels of 250 yard in BTK., there return will be earlier and more .
To answer this question, i would need to look at the price trends of all these developments. Meanwhile i do so, please note that the popularity of BTK is because of the fact that the property there is much cheaper compared to other developments in the city. In addition to that, the pool of investors active in BTK have give a lot of push to the property rates there, making the price fluctuate on daily basis.
The hardcore real estate investors see the benefit of this activity and are thus drawn to investing in BTK instead of BT Rawalpindi Phase 8. As soon as these investors will head to Bahria Islamabad/Rawalpindi, property rates there will increase in response to the increased buying-selling activity.
For smaller investors looking to invest in Bahria Rawalpindi, Phase 9 sounds like a good option but any investment there would be long term. I will shortly update an article on popular phases of Bahria Rawalpindi and you can read it to check out the trends and property rates of top 3 most popular areas of this project.
If i were to suggest you about choosing between investing in Bahria Karachi, Bahria Rawalpindi Phase 8 or Enclave, my pick would be BTK.

Hello Qasim
Just to ask you which are the best sector in Bahria phase 8 Rwp.
Also The Lake View plots are good?
Hope you can better advise the situation.
Miss Samra Zulfiqar
I can see you are doing a great job here answering all the concerns and advise. Hope you prosper more in your future.
I am also one of the investor in BTK invested in 500 Sq yard old residential plot. Currently the market is giving btw 18-20 lac profit+ installments paid. Now I can see little bit decline from last month in the BTK prices as BTK is launching new plots with high prices and people keep on selling their old files but the new deals are going in minus after few weeks. Seeing the scenario I want advise if I should stick to BTK for another 6 months or should I move my investment to Bahria Rwp phase 8 where I can prices are good You can also advise I am interested to buy 10 Marla plots Sector A or B are good and also I have seen Lake view 10 Marla are also good.
Please give your expert advise. Can the plot give good returns if kept for 1 year?
BTK prices will increase in 2015. The agents i talked to a couple of days ago are of the view that the property there will go up by as much as 100%. I am waiting to see that happen and i would suggest you the same.

Real estate agents and experts believe that the market is likely to pick up after March 2014.
(Miss Samra Jii, above was your remarks in March, 2014 about Bahria Town Rwp)
Now you can compare your latest remarks with this one.
It did happen actually, but for bigger plots. I guess i have to give an analysis of 2014 for bahria pindi.
🙂
Wait up for that.
But as my acquaintance the bigger plots agonized more than smaller plots.
Yet your analysis can make it more clear.
Waiting for that 🙂
When will the prices for Bahria town phase 8 will go up?
as soon as activity tones down in Bahria Karachi.
Miss Samra Jii,
I am agitatedly waiting for ur analysis.
Reason: Many ppl like me who trails Zameen.com for the selection of their future investment, is actually based on what zameen.com recommend.
I am waiting to follow the same after clarification of my above muddle.
🙂 thank you for the reminder.
I will insha Allah do it tomorrow.
Meanwhile, you can check this link and have an idea about how Bahria’s project in Islamabad/pindi are doing:

Khizar, i posted this article on the 16th of this month: http://www.zameen.com/blog/how-did-2014-turn-out-for-bahria-town-rawalpindi.html
please check it and let me know if this is what you asked and i promised.

Dear Samra,
Earlier in march, 2014 in this blog you have endorsed the purchase in phase 8 when the prices befits to crestfallen after a high affluent. (However, as we all discern that whoever invested in the phase 8 after feb, 2014 are still inept to sell it on purchase price even).
On Dec 22, 2014, On same blog you have endorsed the purchase in BTK when the prices befits to crestfallen after a very high affluent.
Why Zameen.com suggest investment when the prices converts into dejected after the affluent time??
We as a regular followers of Zameen.com are expecting the counseling before the boom time, not after the boom time.
Dear Khizar,
We make predictions based on our stats and you must also be aware of the fact that developers don’t let the word out on their planned developments before they actually launch them. The situation varies time to time and the best we can do is to keep you updated on the prevailing trends and make predictions based on these trends.
A lot has changed since the launch of Bahria Karachi and i am myself very disappointed that my overseas brothers and sisters who have invested so heavily in Bahria Pindi and Islamabad are facing an almost dead market in these cities. However, I hope that the situation won’t stay the same for long and BTK will soon settle down to give space to Bahria’s other developments in the country. While i hope that 2016 will be a better year for Bahria Pindi/Islamabad, it would be a weak prediction to make.
So, dear Khizar and all investors of Bahria projects in Islamabad and Pindi, please stay put and remember that real estate investment is never a bad bet, even if its long term.
Have a Good Day Miss Samra
