Factual Facts and real price of DHA-9 Dear Friends In one of the add bellow ref.58235 10 marla plots in DHA-9 are on sale and prices are around 40 lac. DHA Town Lahore Phase 9 Near A 170 @ 40 Lacs 10 Marla On Installments DHA Town Lahore Phase 9 Near D 1098 @ 38 Lacs Instalments (10 Marla) Now if 10 marla plots are 40 lacs What should be the price of 1K allocation file price in DHA-9. Am I right if I say 1K allocation file in DHA-9 should be 35lac at-least .

Illogical comparison replied on Monday, April 2, 2012 11:55 PM PST The comparison is not logical. 10 marla plots are actual plots with a definite location. Phase 9 files are without any specific location, it can be adjacent to ganda nala, or some village. Moreover 10 marla plots development will be complete in next about 2 years. Whereas phase 9 will compltete after a minimum of 8-9 years

Illogical comparison replied on Monday, April 2, 2012 11:59 PM PST Plz dont forget there are 4 big villages in the phase 9 area and there are big chances that the plot will be close to some village

jk replied on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 01:19 AM PST Dear Illogical Comparison Don’t you think if 1K allocation file was a plot with location it should have been double (10marla x 2=1k and ie 40×2=80) 80 lacs and not 26.60 lacs as price of DHA-9 today. This is 1/4 of the over all value therefore your statement has no logic neither makes sense. It is repeated said that DHA-9 is far off from Hadiria drain and if one is lucky enough to have a plot close to DHA-5. Will it not be jack pot ? I believe it is a great opportunity and one should not miss out specially the one who have no capacity to buy but believe on luck. Surely there is no lose and it is a win win deal.

dr Khan replied on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 04:19 AM PST I dont understand what are you guys upto. Time will decide everything. If you have already invested in DHA 9, then relax. And if you have not, still … . relax my friend. It is not end of the world :) :)

IB replied on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 11:53 AM PST Dear Mr. JK. How you can say it is far from Hadiara drain. Please see the map. On of the boundaries of phase 9 is by this drain. Moreover what about the villages. One very big village (Kamahan ) with atleast 1 lac population and many smaller villages in this area

yusha replied on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 12:07 PM PST What was the price of the File before the stamp duty impossed (A year back or so)??

yusha replied on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 12:23 PM PST Hi All, Village Kamahan and Hadyara Drain, you are talking about is outside the Phase-9 as per the map.. Everyone You can verify from the map?? Tell me what will happen to those societies that are inside the Phase-9????

jk replied on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 12:50 PM PST Dear Aslam,IB & yusha, I will say good luck and buy after balloting. My suggestion is for those who believe DHA-9 is good buy today and have faith of LRE recommendations.

Lahori Baba replied on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 12:51 PM PST How many plots could face villages? Out off 20000 plots in DHA 9 fot civil and mil combined may be only 200 to 300 max plot will have village on their back or face thrm. No chance of single plot be located facing ganda as all land on facing ganda nala is sold today at 3 times more of DHA 9 todays file price. Only an idiot will make a file of dha 9 for his facing ganda nala land and sell it 3 times lower than going rate of commercial & industrial land that facing ganda nala. The facing nala land is most sought after land in this area. No scary posts here will help. You cant and will not get DHA 9 at lower. Buy before it hits 30 to 35 lacs in comming days and weeks. Ballot in 9 to 12 months. Mil application in progress.

yusha replied on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 01:11 PM PST My question is still unanswered that WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THOSE SOCIETIES THAT ARE INSIDE THE PHASE-9 AREA..???

jk replied on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 01:31 PM PST @ yusha will remain there as State Lief Air Avenue and Park View are remain within area But DHA isolate them selves with boundary wall.

Khan replied on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 01:33 PM PST @ jk & Lahore Baba, Your view points are very clear with sincerity but most of the people do not understand and have no trust no others.

dr Khan replied on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 01:49 PM PST @Yusha, the societies inside ph 9 will remain there, not as part of DHA because those have not been developed according to DHA standards.

Love Pakistan replied on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 03:01 PM PST There will be no plot facing Ganda Nala because the boundary is accupied by villages & industries and more over there will Ring Road SL inside Ganda Nala. People are saying 10M will be developed in 2 Years but 1K will be in 8 years keeping in view Balloting of 1K maximum in one year… Price will never down with these logics.

Aslamoalikum, Brothers apologies topic not being related to real estate but I noticed few friends from Saudi arabia and have a query How difficult it is to sponsor mother on visa in KSA, my mother age is under 60 and currently in Dubai but will be moving to KSA under new Job and wish to keep my mother with me? Regards,

Naseem replied on Monday, April 2, 2012 12:14 PM PST Dear Irfan, It largely depends on your occupation on residence permit. For example, a Doctor will be allowed to have his/her mother on visa in KSA. Otherwise it will be close to impossible.

just visitor replied on Monday, April 2, 2012 12:49 PM PST Dear Irfan, all the technical visa holders and professionals like doctors , engineers,accountants, can bring their parents on visit visa. initially the visit visa is granted for one month but you can extend it every month till 6 or seven months easily. only in hajj days they dont extend the visit visa. in some technical trades they only allow mother to come on visit visa but not father. but that is also possible if the company has good reference inside the ministry of interior. hope it will help. regards,

Irfan replied on Monday, April 2, 2012 01:08 PM PST My borother who is moving to KSA title will be “Technician” though he is engineering. I was wondering that Residence Visa similar to Dubai, but it appears it may be difficult? My mother is Widow, can they accept on these grounds? If anyone have gone through the process of Residence visa for parents and can share. Thanks

AHM replied on Monday, April 2, 2012 08:20 PM PST Technician is not allowed to keep his parents with him but you might have seen the news today in Yahoo maktab that there are some reforms expected in Saudi Expt Laws in next few months which will allow anyone to keep his ‘family’ with him. God knows…….

OK, i apologize to all DHA9 lovers … i may be bit rude but i tried my best to give my opinion to common people … I sold my file at 23.6 and i was expecting to buy one again at 18.5 … But with current price i think i made a mistake … it can maximum come down to 24 now :( … still i believe that DHA9 file price is unrealistic … It should trade at 21 to 22 lacs max. ..

guest replied on Monday, April 2, 2012 09:27 AM PST shame on you , if the price is UnRealistic why didn’t you sell your file for 21 lacs. Just for your own benefit you was comment negative about DHA9, Not for honest analysis.So you can that for cheap price and sell that again for higher price. YOU SHOULD BE BANED FORM THIS FORUM.

Khan replied on Monday, April 2, 2012 12:10 PM PST Dear UnRealisticPriceOfPhase9 You made a mistake by selling your file for a minor profit. The present prices of DHA9 is mechanism of demand and supply. I do not expect that its price will come down to 21 to 22 lacs as now no other options left for investors or people who want to have plot in DHA for house building.

stn replied on Monday, April 2, 2012 06:24 PM PST Sir for dha9 file dont think profit or loss of 2 or 3 lacs.Go for long term investment and u ll be rewarded.

Dear All, Jazak Allah, please help me out. I reside in Lahore while my permanent residence in Sahiwal. I want to buy plot now and to build it later on might be after 4-5 Years. I have budget 20-30 Lac. I am thinking Bahria Town being on Multan Road as I need to travel Sahiwal fortnightly. DHA Phase-9, Lake City and ICON Valley are also in my options. Little confused, need you brothers’ guidance to comment which one would suite my travelling as well as calm, peaceful and secure. Allah bless u all.

jk replied on Sunday, April 1, 2012 09:07 PM PST Brahia is a VERY GOOD choice in your scenario and there is no need to get confused It is ideally good apart from away from Lahore but it is a plus for you being toward Sahiwal. Good ahead good luck.

bas replied on Sunday, April 1, 2012 09:52 PM PST Eden Value Homes will be the best choice as it is at Multan road and nearest to Motor Way.

Khan replied on Sunday, April 1, 2012 11:21 PM PST Dear Shafey Buy one kanal plot in Lake City, here you can develop your house whenever you want but DHA9 needs at least 6-8 years to develop. Allah knows the best.

Saeed replied on Monday, April 2, 2012 10:57 AM PST Dear Shafey, If your choice of location is based on “Sahiwal” and not the convenience of your kids education and future needs then you may start regretting very soon. You need to be as closer to Lahore city as possible. Kep in mind the rising cost of living and commuting when jobs and educational institutions will mostly be 20km away in case if u choose to live in BT or any other society around it.

Irfan replied on Monday, April 2, 2012 12:39 PM PST After the opening of lahore ring road it takes almost the same time to reach Babu sabu interchange from Bahria town and from Dha. And in near future it might take more time for to/from Bahria town once the road to/from Barhia gets more clogged with more people settling in currently empty housing schemes between Bahria town and Thokar/motorway. Even now it takes a lot of time to reach BT using Multan road. Canal road is faster but only till the societies on canal road are not populated. After 5 or 10 years the distance from thokar to Behria will become more than 30 minutes especially during school or rush hours. Distance matters a lot and even few KM extra every day is a big cost to pay over and over again in the form of value of fuel, time, maintenance and polution & noise that you have to suffer from through the city roads.

Shafey Tehseen replied on Monday, April 2, 2012 05:40 PM PST Dear all, thanks to all for the quick guidance. I impressed with Saeed and Irfan’s approach. I am not in hurry and can wait 6-8 years in developing my dream home. I think its good to go for DHA-9 as it is closer to Lahore City helpful my kids in approaching institutes rather i prefer my travelling concern to Sahiwal. Now, if DHA-9 is the choice, please let me know the total estimated cost to buy 1-kanal with agent fee, stamp duty, agent commission and all other charges. Now a days, AG, CMY are not in picture. I hope they are fine. Inshallah. I guess the estimate from the posts available is (24+2) 26 Lac approx. but I need to know the breakup of other probable charges and whether we have to go through agent, if yes, which one is reliable? What is the difference between buying file & buying plot?

Advisor replied on Monday, April 2, 2012 06:26 PM PST Know the difference between fortnightly traveling and daily local traveling and then decide

I am enjoying this discussion on the forum. Thanks for presenting both the views here on this forum about Phase-9 files. I am an overseas Pakistani living in GCC who bought a Phase-9 1K file recently in Jan 2012 in 24.9Lacs. I am a serious buyer with intention of a long term investment. My friend, a keen businessman in Lahore having a significant amount invested in various phases of DHA Lahore for personal use, recommended this property for investment to me around 18 months back when it was still somewhere near 14Lacs, I took a while to decide and when I decided finally the file price was well above 20Lacs. Why I still found it appealing at PKR 25Lacs + Development Charges (say 15Lacs but keep in mind that this is to be given at a later stage), is because where else in Pakistan you can get in to DHA at this price (i.e. 25Lacs). Before investing here, I checked DHA Karachi, some apartments in Islamabad and some other plots in Islamabad’s private societies and all of them were equal to or much higher than this price that I paid for DHA Phase 9. And then obviously it is DHA and in this materialistic world, brand name does count, so it was better to get a plot in DHA rather than an XYZ Society. My friend advised me at the time of buying that DHA Phase-9 will be balloted after 3 years and possession will be in 7 to 8 years, however if I believe this forum then it is much earlier than that. Anyways, this did not affect my desicion as I was looking for a long term investment. Hope all above will give you opinion of a serious buyer who is interested in building his dream home in Phase-9 at some point in future. However man proposes and GOD disposes. And verily Allah is the best desicion maker. So I leave my affairs to Almighty Allah. Ameen.

sincere advice replied on Sunday, April 1, 2012 12:43 PM PST What are the chances that you will get a good plot. Phase 9 is a big area with lot of villages (One of them Kamahan is very big ) and Hadiara drain also on one side. ALL THE PLOTS ADJACENT TO VILLAGES AND DRAIN WILL BE “BAD LOCATION” plots

jk replied on Sunday, April 1, 2012 01:30 PM PST @sincere advice why are you so negative. mext purchased his plot on good faith and rest left on Allah SWT and surprisingly you are suggesting with if and but. I believe you should re-think and call it sincere advise .

forum reader replied on Sunday, April 1, 2012 02:24 PM PST @sincere advice i don’t know why you guys are creating negative impact about phase 9 files. Let me share my experience, about 2.5 years back i buy dha phase 9 file in 1.5 million after advise of wise man who also guaranteed me if the price did not rose to double after 5 years bring me the file and i’ll buy your file at 3 million. After 2.5 year file price is 2.6 million and is close to 3 millions and i am dead sure it will around 40-50 lac within next 2-3 years. So… do not listen to the guys who create negative rummer. Let me tell Dha phase 5 balloting year 2000 Dha phase 6 balloting year 2003 Dha phase 7 balloting year 2007 Check prices of all these phase… it shows constant increase in price. Do logical research yourself.DONOT listen to WISE GUYS like “sincere advice” I am sure these guys want to achieve their own objective by creating negative rummer about phase 9 file in market. Once again do your research… and take decision.

sincere advice replied on Sunday, April 1, 2012 06:14 PM PST I am not spreading any rumours. What i said was for the benefit of forum members. This is a fact that cannot be denied. Go to Google earth yourself and see there are at least 3 ( and possibly 4 ) villages in the territory of phase 9

amir replied on Sunday, April 1, 2012 07:25 PM PST villages han tu phir kya howa dha promises us to place in dha and we would b placed in dha phase 9 … pind may nahi dal dana unhn nay hamain and plz keep this thing in ur mind dha phase 9 would b the best state of art phase of dha inshallah

Hassan replied on Sunday, April 1, 2012 07:33 PM PST @mext…i agree with your way of looking at the whole situation…ive also bought a file at 25.50…i plan to construct my house in good about 5-6 and decided to buy phase 9 after consulting with many experts and elders….M HAPPY…. :) and wish happiness for all….. @ forum reader…..you forgot to mention phase 8 ballot in 2010….so looking at the history 2013…phase 9 is next……….

UnRealisticPriceOfPhase9 replied on Sunday, April 1, 2012 08:41 PM PST Hi all, I agree with ‘Sincere advice’ that if you buy at higher price (26+ Lac) + Transfer Charges (1.6 Lac) + development charges (12 to 15 Lac) totaling 40 Lac + and if your plot is ballotted at worst location like near Drain / GundaNala, or away from main location, Its value would not be more than 32 to 38 lac after ballotting like in DHA Phase 7 or 6 some of the worst located plots are currently valued start at 34 or 36 lac max even these phase 5, 6, 7 have been balloted long time ago. I also agree with jk to not to be negative but you should always expect something unexpected and all aspects in mind. To be honest, its not something to be negative about phase 9 but everyone has to be careful while buying especially who has earned /saved the halal money by hard work of their life. For Forum reader, its not something creating negative Rumors about phase 9 file. We are not dearler/broker but just ordinary people of society and by expressing our point of view in favour or against favour of Phase 9. Don’t be offensive if someone express against it especially rapid price increase which make it suspected that price is not original & fabricated or maked up like when a women make up her face, its look so pretty but when wash the face, its back to original/natural beauty. And you would agree that natural beauty is the genuine beauty. Take care…..

jk replied on Sunday, April 1, 2012 10:47 PM PST @ UnRealisticPriceOfPhase9 I would appreciate if you can leave your name and contact, would love to meet a person like you.

Know where you’re going in life …you may already be there Dear Moderator please keep this message for a while A boat docked in a tiny Mexican fishing village. A tourist complimented the local fishermen on the quality of their fish and asked how long it took him to catch them. Not very long.” they answered. “Why didn’t you stay out longer and catch more?” The fishermen explained that their small catches were sufficient to meet their needs and those of their families. “But what do you do with the rest of your time?” “We sleep well, fish a little, play with our children, and take siestas. In the evenings, we go into the village to see our friends, have coffee We have a full life.” The tourist interrupted, “I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you! You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat.” “And after that?” “With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers. Instead of selling your fish to a middle man, you can then negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant. You can then leave this little village and move to Mexico City, Los Angeles, or even New York City !!! From there you can direct your huge new enterprise.” “How long would that take?” “Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years.” replied the tourist. “And after that?” “Afterwards? Well my friend, that’s when it gets really interesting, “answered the tourist, laughing. “When your business gets really big, you can start buying and selling stocks and make millions!” “Millions? Really? And after that?” asked the fishermen. “After that you’ll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep well, play with your children, catch a few fish, take a siesta and spend your evenings enjoying with your friends.” “With all due respect sir, but that’s exactly what we are doing now. So what’s the point wasting twenty-five years?” asked the Mexicans. And the moral of this story is: Know where you’re going in life …you may already be there

As Sallam O Alaikum to my country men. Alhamdollillah before two weeks we went to Baithullah and prayed too much to my country and my people May Allah bless upon our country and our people..aur Allah humain ISTAGFAAR ki toufeeq day… aur humain hindoan, isralion aur amreekion ka sher say ab bacha lay…Ameen. Please guide regarding development charges installment of DHA Lahore Phase 8, last date is 31 March, if any body pay after 20 days how is this? Jazak Allah

MJM Dammam replied on Saturday, March 31, 2012 04:17 PM PST It is good that you have remarkable feelings for your country and your people. I appreciate. First of all, we should keep our Qibla straight, then blame others for our misdeeds! Based on developoment charges of Rs. 900,000 for one kanal, there is a levy of surcharge by DHA Lahore of Rs. 82.191 per day. In your case, it comes to Rs. 1,644.

Umer replied on Sunday, April 1, 2012 08:37 PM PST Jazak Allah Khair MJM Bahi, Sorry I did not write clearly..Actually every three months development charges installment which is 420,000 have to pay to DHA against one Kanal plot of DHA Phase8. I want to say that if any body pay that installment after due date, is this OK or DHA will impose any panelty? thats it.

Advisor replied on Monday, April 2, 2012 06:45 PM PST Our own upper class is more dangerous than isralis, amreeki and hindoos. You should have prayed rightly.

Some people are intentionally criticizing DHAPhase 9 one kanal file Salamz to all, I feel on this forum some people are intentionally criticizing DHA Phase 9 one kanal file with the subject of Unrealistic price of phase 9. Yes I do respect for personal feelings but they start criticism when somebody talks positive for Phase 9. I don’t know what pain they are feeling

majid replied on Friday, March 30, 2012 05:54 PM PST satta is main cause.as people know that prices are artificially increased.

Haris replied on Friday, March 30, 2012 05:58 PM PST if artifically increase , if anyone in profit sale it.why create rumors

UnRealisticPriceOfPhase9 replied on Saturday, March 31, 2012 10:44 AM PST Dear Mubarik Ali, Please see both sides of picture, you can not say one thing is good because all brokers/property dealers are saying go and get & spend on phase 9 file. Think about it from your own mind and heart why prices increase so rapidly in days/weeks where see country’s current situation. Majid & Haris are right its few people’s game who have loads of money to invest to increase the price artificially and fabricate in a way people like me & you say, oh go and get it otherwise, we will miss the train.. That’s shame to buy at unrealistic price. Don’t worry, its same story what what happened few years when price went up to sky at 45 Lac but came back to normal i.e. 14 Lac and its fair enough if it reaches at 20 lac gradually in couple of months but its alarming and worrying if price goes up that quickly what has been happening during last few weeks. I would love to buy file/plot in DHA only its good time, otherwise, stay calm and keep your money in your pocket unless good time comes. Even, we don’t buy / invest in Phase 9 file, its not end of world. Its better to regret to not buying it rather regretting to loose money by buying at high/unrealistic price and get lost of that price in future. God Bless you all.

MS replied on Saturday, March 31, 2012 12:26 PM PST @ UnRealisticPriceOfPhase9 , On this Forum Majority of The Person Says that It is worthwhile to buy Phase 9 even @ 26 Lacs plus with logical and solid reasoning then how can you still criticizing Phase 9 rates.If you thought that prices of phase 9 are unrealistic,then nobody force to buy.How could you use words like ” That’s shame to buy at unrealistic price ” If you are smart and has care of your hard earned money, then others has same care of their hard earned money.I think ,you missed the train and regretting not to buy @ 13 lacs.and telling us story ” The Grapes are Sours”

EuPakistan replied on Sunday, April 1, 2012 02:48 AM PST Hi Mr./Mrs.PP, I’m not sure if you have been living really in English speaking country like USA (New York) where you spell wrongly ‘NOW’ as ‘know’, ‘feeling’ as ‘filling’, ‘Pocket’ as ‘poket’. Anyway, I live in Europe and bought a file of one Kanal of DHA Lahore Phase 9 during first quarter of 2011 in Pak Rupees 1,480,000/- (Rupees Fourteen Lac and Eight Thousands) when One Euro was equal to Rs.121/- So total file price in Euro was 12,231/-. Now price of same file is Rs.2,600,000 (Rs.Twenty Six Lac) and current exchange rate of one Euro is equal to Rs.120/-. So Rs.26 Lac is equal to Euro 21,666/- Did you see above the difference in price both in Pak Rupees and Euro currency in one year especially starting from January 2012. I’m not an economist but could handle simple arithmatic. So, do you still think its because of Currency, not I don’t think so. I’m not sure but my feelings are its just involvement of some Satta baaz etc. God Bless Ya.

Alvi replied on Sunday, April 1, 2012 03:42 AM PST People do speak and write wrong English even they are living in USA, I myself lived my entire life in N. America I still speak and write wrong English with wrong spelling. Mr. EuPakistan I don’t think you are living in Europe if so then you will not explain all this to us because may be you have not met Spanish or Hungarian those who are living in UK and even they are citizen of that country but still speak very broken and wrong English. My own sister is Canadian but speaks very little English. Thank you to all for not criticizing for nothing.

Usman replied on Sunday, April 1, 2012 10:46 AM PST I wonder why is everyone so keen to discuss/expose where our fellow members on this forum live in. No doubt it’s a highly complexed society that we live in!

One of brother M.Abid from German has commented on DHA Lahore Phase 9. I’ve few comments on that. I’M SURE IF YOU HAVE BEEN LIVING IN EUROPE FOR LONG, YOU WOULD KNOW THE PROPERTY DEALER/INVESTOR/CONSTRUCTER have been in deep loss since 2008. We should talk about in general rather for particular or two / three cities/countries like Germany, Holland or France etc. These are the countries which have not been hit hard by recession due to their best Economic Strategies they used to handle recession. You can’t compare the most developed three countries with under under developed country’s property business in Pakistan. Did you not know America and rest of European Countries especially UK, Ireland, Greece, Spain, Italy etc. are still in deep recession particularly Ireland and Greece have already been bailed out by IMF due to bad & blind investment and management of property business. I’m not sure why did you not check the statistics of these countries about property prices before commenting above. O.k I will tell you now, Property prices in UK, Ireland, Greece are at nearly half the price what it was in boom time in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007. Even the current property prices are that low but still there are no buyer in the market because they can’t afford it as people have no job or money. So do you think they spend money/savings on property business like what you are thinking or referring others. You might have millions of Euros that you can think of investing money. Goodluck… How can you say property prices didn’t fall during crises period in Europe / USA, above European countries are the examples for that. I’ve mentioned already in my previous post that its best to invest in property if you can spare your money for atleast 10 years by not buying at high prices like what is now happening with 1 Kanal file of DHA Phase 9 that has high risk of loss. Another supporting point for my concern here is that in Property boom time in Europe, people thought to invest in property business regardless what high price they were buying for because they saw prices were getting higher and higher. People bought even two to four houses having greed in their mind like they bought it at e.g. 500,000 Pounds or Euros and will sell it in double of that price in couple of years time but they have been bankrupted now as they have no money to pay it back to banks or to sell the property because current price of same property/house is nearly half what they have bought in boom time. And banking system in Europe and America has already been collapsed as you know already. So people who would have bought at lowest price back in 2000 to 2003 have already made the profit or even double of what they have bought before recession started. Do you know what I mean? That’s my point to tell others never ever buy at higher price especially when price changes so rapidly whether going up or down. I totally agree with brother Abid to be 100% faith in Allah for any profit and loss in life but there are number of hadith of our beloved prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to first do the needful before you leave everything on Allah Mighty Allah. One of Sahabi (Razi Allah Talah Unho) was to leave a hourse outside house/camp and beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) asked him have you locked the horse with any locking point on ground but Sahabi said he left it on Allah who look after or save him but Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) told him to lock the horse first then to leave on Allah. So point is we should do the needful or think wisely before we say that we leave it on Allah whether profit or loss. Please correct me if I couldn’t describe the Hadith properly. Brothers/Sisters, I’m not an property expert but Allah has given us wisdom to use & spend your valuable money only when you see its worth investing.

MS replied on Friday, March 30, 2012 12:50 PM PST UnRealisticPriceOfPhase9 , I m not seeing DHA Phase 9 Prices are going Down in future @ rapid level ,it will be traded in future @ 25 +. Because there is no files behind left except DHA Phase 9.Before ballot of Park view file and Phase 5 Ext , people have choice either to buy phase 9 or other files.now for buyer of the file there is only one choice that Phase 9.

Naveed Yaseen replied on Friday, March 30, 2012 02:55 PM PST Dear UnrealisticPriceOfPhase9, something is not normal in your posts. The specific negativity for phase 9. And the passion. Good to see someone so passionately dedicating his hours to save others from skyfall! I think you have conveniently ignored (i.e. ‘tajahul-e-aarifana’) some basic facts, like… • Our double-digit inflation rate over last fourty years. Phase 9 price was probably around 17-18 lakhs in beginning 2007. In today’s inflation adjusted rupee that is at least 28 lakh. In other words, even today it is less than 2007 price in inflation adjusted rupee. • Prices of developed phases of DHA Lahore • Prices of other developed, semi-developed and undeveloped agricultural lands near Phase 9 • General prices of anything inhabitable in any large city of Pakistan. Rarely would one find anything below Rs 2.5 lakh per marla even in deepest, narrowest streets of dirtiest slums. • Our childish culture of feeling pride in owning luxurious brands. And feeling face-loss when a friend or relative owns one and we don’t. Ever wonder why many of us are willing to pay for some things lot more their unbranded worth? E.g. 5-star hotels, BMW, Rado, Ray-Ban, Nike, Apple etc. Its unfortunate but that is how many people think about DHA in our society. Rather than making chain of arguments and counter-arguments, lets make the long story short. Lets put our money where our mouth is. You said… > I can bet you, this is not going to happen again for atleast another 10 years that price goes to 45 Lets bet on this. Lets pledge some valuables in legal documents. All transparently in front of this forum. I believe betting is haram but if I win I would donate the won amount to Edhi Foundation.

Khalid replied on Friday, March 30, 2012 03:05 PM PST investment in property and expanses on your children’s education never get wasted . similarly opportunity do not knock at door so often. in an average life span it comes to you maximum 4 time and if you act in time it rewards and if you miss out you keep regretting whole life. An opportunity in shape of DHA-9 has already approached you and if you have missed out it is time to regret now and prices will never ever be so low. longer you let it go higher you have to pay to catch it. Remember DHA-3 was 12 lack in 1995 . DHA-6 16 lacs in 2003 and DHA-9 16 Lacs in early 2011. Now you keep thinking and do not waste you time in proving crow in not black.

CHASN replied on Friday, March 30, 2012 03:38 PM PST Thanks for such an intellectual discussion. Really enjoyed…

Khan replied on Friday, March 30, 2012 03:55 PM PST Dear UnRealisticPriceOfPhase9, You must also be realistic in your views about DHA 9. Please do not misguide others by writing a lot against DHA 9.

Salman replied on Friday, March 30, 2012 04:37 PM PST You can’t compare the situation in Europe with that of Pakistan for following reasons: 1) Very little prevalence of mortgages in Pakistan; hence no banking risk involved. 2) High double digit inflation since last 10 years whereas the prices of property have decreased compared to their original value already. 3) 180 million people with 48% population is below 18; As they grow older their demand for independent houses rise enormously…Genuine Demand 4) Huge number of Overseas Pakistanis believe in investment in Real estate.

Salman replied on Friday, March 30, 2012 04:41 PM PST and point no. 5) Phase 9 is worth a little more than the price of a Honda Civic. In Europe can you buy a 500 square yard plot or future promise of that plot in that value? 6) It is still 1/4th the value of a plot in DHA on which you can start construction today.

ABID replied on Saturday, March 31, 2012 12:37 AM PST Salam to all readers, Bro Unrealistic, thanks for ur comments. Those were good but not complete. Bro if you talk about whole eastern and westeren Europe then you would find some European countries even behind of my lovely country” PAKISTAN “. Specifically people made a lot money in Spain, Greece, Uk and other ur mentioned countries in the sector of real estate. And LOSS you know why people got, because they were greedy. As u said, didnot use their own brain and listened their heart. They just looked others,oh he became millionair why me not. And everyone must know, EVERY RISE HAVE FALL. Its principle of nature not mine or yours. There is also a princple those who think too much THEY ALSO LOOSE. Just win those who act and have trust in ALLAH. Right Pakistan is a poor state but who made it poor you and me too. What we done? also nothing like our politicians. But geologically this moment your state is situated in most IMPORTANT POINT, in the centre of,BEST FINANCIALLY GROWING CHINA, 2nd best fin growing INDIA, Muslims battlefield AFghanistan, Most courageous muslim state IRAN, and Arabian see. Thats why prices will rise in any way even bombs blast, no energy, no security,no roads, no discipline. Our opponants like to keep Pakistan backward but then Pakistan is ALIVE and INSHAA ALLAH will stay ALIVE, Grow and Prevail. Those who are having money let them to invest in property. If someone will buy a file with 25 lac in ph.9 or a plot in Ph.8 would gain INSHAA ALLAH. Rupee is getting down and down so its impossible that an owner will loose in dha. European developed and industrial states are also “TAX STATES” but Pakistan is so called a “TAX FREE” state. No body ask from where money came, how u earned, why u made so big profit, pay tax. There is big risk as bro unrealistic says but not in dha. Why? because people like to have home in some good developed, well knowned and trusted area. Bro unrealistic, Hadith of tieing a camel having concern with security of yourself not with trade. Business is the name of risk thats why is halal otherwise it was also forbidden if was just profit. And if we talk about need, then we shouldn’t loose time to get villas but to pray ALLAH Rabul ALLAMEEN while living in tent and having ramadan whole the year round. But u may live in Villas if all is halal and zakat paid money. May Allah Bless all of us, the muslims. amin and wa salam.

Once Again…. This was brought up by someone else as well below in the comments about DHA-9, but I want to reiterate here that Army Personel are due their next benefit after DHA Phase 8, its almost 3 years now since last major ballot and its about time (mid – later this year, or early next year) for DHA to get the ball rolling on allocating new plots to cater for these new benefits. So balloting should be coming down the pike pretty soon. I would suggest to stay put and skim the cream of the crop. Stay blessed ya’all!

javid replied on Tuesday, March 27, 2012 07:39 PM PST We highly appreciate your roll of informing people to avail this all time grate opportunity, to buy or invest in DHA-9. You are loud enough and I am sure you are giving recomendation whole heartedly and you will get credit from Almighty Allah. I am fully agreed with you DHA-9 is the best buy and 1k plot will never be as cheap as DHA-9 is today and continuous price hike in DHA-9 is witnessing it each day. Buy and enjoy then and there is grunted in DHA-9

nice replied on Tuesday, March 27, 2012 11:17 PM PST yes this is really nice news

UnRealisticPriceOfPhase9 replied on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 10:07 AM PST Hi High Roller, Javid, What is the source of this news and where is proof for this new? I’ve been hearing this kind of news for the last couple of years DHA 9 balloting will be happening in a year or two but nothing happened. Please don’t spread the news when you have no authenticity or written proof from DHA authorities by saying so & so Army personel said this of that & when you ring and try to confirm this new from DHA authority, they say, there is no date anounce yet. Please post the scanned copy of this news or put a reference of official web link of this news from DHA Lahore Authority. Does that make sense to you? Realistic person wouldn’t going to buy at unrealistic price which is just a high (80% plus)risk of loss. Remember the recent history of Phase 9 started in Musharaf time (number of years ago) when price went upto 45 lac but dropped badly to 14 lac in 2010 & 2011. Imagine, what would have happened to people who have bought at unrealistic price of 20 lac plus. I’m always so sad when see people don’t listen voice of their wisdom Allah has blessed them but see only price increase rapidly. Its simple, when price go up that quickly like it has been happening during last couple of months, definitly price will drop down more than double of its increasing time sooner rather than later. File prices are always fabricated when it increases that quickly which means there is something is behind. Look at Pakistan’s current economy, Security situation, infrastructure, GAS & Electricity & Fuel prices & their availability, DO U THINK its best time to buy at that high, unrealistic and fabricated price when there is no EXACT Date of Ballotting. Apologies if someone don’t agree with but thats what I & other realistic people feel about current file price of DHA 9. Bear in mind to add nearly 2 Lac of transfer etc. charges and 12 Lac of development charges. Thanks & comments are welcomed.

Irshad replied on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 10:34 AM PST Dear UnRealisticPriceofPhase9. I fully agree with you. People are spreading humours that price will go up go up and go up and trying to take undue advantage or hiding their potential interest in order to raise their files’ prices… But they might dont analyze people are educated now, the instable economy as you mentioned no one will look to invest in property right now which will remain barren for five years atleast. Anyone wants to increase his saving can start other lots of business and can make double with his business. Thanks for your eye opening comments. Irshad Ali – Jeddah

Lahori Baba replied on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 10:40 AM PST “when price went upto 45 lac but dropped badly to 14 lac in 2010 & 2011″ If it was 45 lacs in April 2005 why it cant be 45 lacs again. Its lot easier to see it rising to 45 lacs as many weak hearten have already sold it near 15 or 20 lacs. It was 45 lacs in 2005 & with only inflation adjustment It should be priced minimum 70 to 80 lacs today but its at just 26 lacs (Too much under priced). Any thing less dont mean its bad investment. It means there is lot of room to see rise easily. If nothing more price must rise to 45 lacs within next 1 to 2 years.

jk replied on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 10:46 AM PST Dear UnrealisticPriceofPhase9, after watching daily price hipe you are trying for face saving and talking un-realistic like Bangladeshi cricket team. I believe you have ” main na manou” attitude and can even agrue that today it 28th March 2012. it is advised to sit watch monitor a learn it is realestae business and DHA-9. prices of fruit and veg are climing high how do you expect DHA-9 will fall while number of people wanted to shift within and from out side Lahore in DHA

Lahori Baba replied on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 10:48 AM PST Irshad saab did people “spreading humours” also increased prices of DHA 5 6 7 and Bahria town. Please tell me Why prices rose in all those phases sectors schemes too? Cant people see economy Security situation, infrastructure, GAS & Electricity & Fuel price People are used to all this bad news. They think situation cant get any worst than this so they have started to make investments in property now. Also property is the ONLY safest investment any other business is not going to give better return than property.

UnRealisticPriceOfPhase9 replied on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 05:23 PM PST Dear LahoriBaba, Those happy days have gone when people can even invest / buy at the most unrealistic price of 45 Lac and it was a time of property boom throughout the world and property bubble has already been burst few years ago.There’s no point to explain what it was as everyone know those were all fabricated prices during that time. I can bet you, this is not going to happen again for atleast another 10 years that price goes to 45 when most of the developed and under-developed countries are in deep recession. However, I agree, price will go up only when ballot date is announced and development is started which is more realistic or even if price goes to 45 Lac in 10 years, inflation will mark it as it is at 20 Lac at that time. So, no point to buy it now at that high price & then regret yourself in few years time, oh, I wouldn’t have bought at that unlikely price. Well, for your point of “while number of people wanted to shift within and from out side Lahore in DHA”. I, myself was born & grew up in Lovely Lahore & I love its every single thing whether its culture, climate, tradition, education, social life which I would say best place to live in than any other part of Pakistan or even any other part of World. I can write a full book on Lahore but this is not right place/forum for that. I understand people from other part of Pakistan has dream to live in Lahore but where are those people who would have bought DHA 9 file at 35+ Lac or even at 45 Lac more than three years ago, have they moved? Ofcourse, Not, its not that easy to move when DHA hasn’t annouced the balloting date for years. Even if DHA annouces it right today which I don’t think is happing for atleast another 2 years, it will take atleast 5 years to give possission and DHA Ph 9 is far away from balloting date & then Posession / development and so on so forth. I don’t agree with point if prices of vegetable and fruites goes high then property prices also go high. Ofcourse, it does but other way around that to keep this point in mind that very less number of people has ability to afford this price. Best marketing strategy is to sell the product is at reasonable/low price which sells quickly rather keeping that stock it at high, unrealistic and unaffordable price which has more risk to spoil or get it expired depending type of product. Good example is if a fruit/vegetable has special offer/price, it could be sold in hours or even minutes but if its at high price, people only ask the price and went away or buy less than their required quanity which is currently happening in Pakistan where people are forced to buy less quantity because they can’t afford it. Do you think people can still buy property at high price where they have no other reserves to spend on their daily necessity. Another great example which is not common in Pakistan but in Western world, people wait for Post-Christmas Sale which is nearly half or less price of actual marked price before Christmas because they can afford to buy same product or even can buy more products in less then half price of what it was before Christmas. So, point here is the affordability. If 50 people can buy/afford 1 Kanal file at a realistical price between 15 to 22 Lac but if its 30+, only 10 people can afford it only who have enough money. So, you see, rest of 40 people are gone away from property market. Either, they will keep their money saved or invest in other businesses like IRSHAD ALI has mentioned on his comments. It doesn’t matter if we don’t buy the file at this point which is not end of world at this un-realistic price. But I & other people have right to express their thoughts on this forum and I really appreciate the Administrator of this Forum who give us this opportunity to say this bitter truth who might not be liked by some people and its fair enough that they can express their point of view and then its up to reader of this topic to decide whether they still want to invest/buy at this unlikely price. I wish and pray Pakistan will be the best place to live especially the PEACE and Security situation. I also understand People are used to of bad news and can’t get worst what it is now and especially bad management from politicians & Current Government but in Pakistan, always be ready to expect something unexpected which has been happening for the last decades especially during Musharaf & current PP government time. Another point, I don’t agree with “property is the ONLY safest investment any other business is not going to give better return than property”. How can somebody say it where we have seen the property bubble burst in recent past? Do you think people have that bad memory about recent property price fall. I agree with you to little extent its good place for investment only if you have spare money for 10+ years but don’t agree to buy property at unrealistic price which is currently at not good price. Thanks for your time and comments are welcomed.

High Roller replied on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 09:00 PM PST All above, please read as you are suppposed to read….what I said is just a personal opinion based on some facts. Please abstain and refrain from accusation. This forum sure can use some manners and tolerance.

Factual Facts and real price of DHA-9 Dear Friends In one of the add bellow ref.58235 10 marla plots in DHA-9 are on sale and prices are around 40 lac. DHA Town Lahore Phase 9 Near A 170 @ 40 Lacs 10 Marla On Installments DHA Town Lahore Phase 9 Near D 1098 @ 38 Lacs Instalments (10 Marla) Now if 10 marla plots are 40 lacs What should be the price of 1K allocation file price in DHA-9. Am I right if I say 1K allocation file in DHA-9 should be 35lac at-least .

Illogical comparison replied on Monday, April 2, 2012 11:55 PM PST The comparison is not logical. 10 marla plots are actual plots with a definite location. Phase 9 files are without any specific location, it can be adjacent to ganda nala, or some village. Moreover 10 marla plots development will be complete in next about 2 years. Whereas phase 9 will compltete after a minimum of 8-9 years

Illogical comparison replied on Monday, April 2, 2012 11:59 PM PST Plz dont forget there are 4 big villages in the phase 9 area and there are big chances that the plot will be close to some village

jk replied on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 01:19 AM PST Dear Illogical Comparison Don’t you think if 1K allocation file was a plot with location it should have been double (10marla x 2=1k and ie 40×2=80) 80 lacs and not 26.60 lacs as price of DHA-9 today. This is 1/4 of the over all value therefore your statement has no logic neither makes sense. It is repeated said that DHA-9 is far off from Hadiria drain and if one is lucky enough to have a plot close to DHA-5. Will it not be jack pot ? I believe it is a great opportunity and one should not miss out specially the one who have no capacity to buy but believe on luck. Surely there is no lose and it is a win win deal.

dr Khan replied on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 04:19 AM PST I dont understand what are you guys upto. Time will decide everything. If you have already invested in DHA 9, then relax. And if you have not, still … . relax my friend. It is not end of the world :) :)

IB replied on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 11:53 AM PST Dear Mr. JK. How you can say it is far from Hadiara drain. Please see the map. On of the boundaries of phase 9 is by this drain. Moreover what about the villages. One very big village (Kamahan ) with atleast 1 lac population and many smaller villages in this area

yusha replied on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 12:07 PM PST What was the price of the File before the stamp duty impossed (A year back or so)??

yusha replied on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 12:23 PM PST Hi All, Village Kamahan and Hadyara Drain, you are talking about is outside the Phase-9 as per the map.. Everyone You can verify from the map?? Tell me what will happen to those societies that are inside the Phase-9????

jk replied on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 12:50 PM PST Dear Aslam,IB & yusha, I will say good luck and buy after balloting. My suggestion is for those who believe DHA-9 is good buy today and have faith of LRE recommendations.

Lahori Baba replied on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 12:51 PM PST How many plots could face villages? Out off 20000 plots in DHA 9 fot civil and mil combined may be only 200 to 300 max plot will have village on their back or face thrm. No chance of single plot be located facing ganda as all land on facing ganda nala is sold today at 3 times more of DHA 9 todays file price. Only an idiot will make a file of dha 9 for his facing ganda nala land and sell it 3 times lower than going rate of commercial & industrial land that facing ganda nala. The facing nala land is most sought after land in this area. No scary posts here will help. You cant and will not get DHA 9 at lower. Buy before it hits 30 to 35 lacs in comming days and weeks. Ballot in 9 to 12 months. Mil application in progress.

yusha replied on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 01:11 PM PST My question is still unanswered that WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THOSE SOCIETIES THAT ARE INSIDE THE PHASE-9 AREA..???

jk replied on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 01:31 PM PST @ yusha will remain there as State Lief Air Avenue and Park View are remain within area But DHA isolate them selves with boundary wall.

Khan replied on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 01:33 PM PST @ jk & Lahore Baba, Your view points are very clear with sincerity but most of the people do not understand and have no trust no others.

dr Khan replied on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 01:49 PM PST @Yusha, the societies inside ph 9 will remain there, not as part of DHA because those have not been developed according to DHA standards.

Love Pakistan replied on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 03:01 PM PST There will be no plot facing Ganda Nala because the boundary is accupied by villages & industries and more over there will Ring Road SL inside Ganda Nala. People are saying 10M will be developed in 2 Years but 1K will be in 8 years keeping in view Balloting of 1K maximum in one year… Price will never down with these logics.

Aslamoalikum, Brothers apologies topic not being related to real estate but I noticed few friends from Saudi arabia and have a query How difficult it is to sponsor mother on visa in KSA, my mother age is under 60 and currently in Dubai but will be moving to KSA under new Job and wish to keep my mother with me? Regards,

Naseem replied on Monday, April 2, 2012 12:14 PM PST Dear Irfan, It largely depends on your occupation on residence permit. For example, a Doctor will be allowed to have his/her mother on visa in KSA. Otherwise it will be close to impossible.

just visitor replied on Monday, April 2, 2012 12:49 PM PST Dear Irfan, all the technical visa holders and professionals like doctors , engineers,accountants, can bring their parents on visit visa. initially the visit visa is granted for one month but you can extend it every month till 6 or seven months easily. only in hajj days they dont extend the visit visa. in some technical trades they only allow mother to come on visit visa but not father. but that is also possible if the company has good reference inside the ministry of interior. hope it will help. regards,

Irfan replied on Monday, April 2, 2012 01:08 PM PST My borother who is moving to KSA title will be “Technician” though he is engineering. I was wondering that Residence Visa similar to Dubai, but it appears it may be difficult? My mother is Widow, can they accept on these grounds? If anyone have gone through the process of Residence visa for parents and can share. Thanks

OK, i apologize to all DHA9 lovers … i may be bit rude but i tried my best to give my opinion to common people … I sold my file at 23.6 and i was expecting to buy one again at 18.5 … But with current price i think i made a mistake … it can maximum come down to 24 now :( … still i believe that DHA9 file price is unrealistic … It should trade at 21 to 22 lacs max. ..

guest replied on Monday, April 2, 2012 09:27 AM PST shame on you , if the price is UnRealistic why didn’t you sell your file for 21 lacs. Just for your own benefit you was comment negative about DHA9, Not for honest analysis.So you can that for cheap price and sell that again for higher price. YOU SHOULD BE BANED FORM THIS FORUM.

Khan replied on Monday, April 2, 2012 12:10 PM PST Dear UnRealisticPriceOfPhase9 You made a mistake by selling your file for a minor profit. The present prices of DHA9 is mechanism of demand and supply. I do not expect that its price will come down to 21 to 22 lacs as now no other options left for investors or people who want to have plot in DHA for house building.

stn replied on Monday, April 2, 2012 06:24 PM PST Sir for dha9 file dont think profit or loss of 2 or 3 lacs.Go for long term investment and u ll be rewarded.

Dear All, Jazak Allah, please help me out. I reside in Lahore while my permanent residence in Sahiwal. I want to buy plot now and to build it later on might be after 4-5 Years. I have budget 20-30 Lac. I am thinking Bahria Town being on Multan Road as I need to travel Sahiwal fortnightly. DHA Phase-9, Lake City and ICON Valley are also in my options. Little confused, need you brothers’ guidance to comment which one would suite my travelling as well as calm, peaceful and secure. Allah bless u all.

jk replied on Sunday, April 1, 2012 09:07 PM PST Brahia is a VERY GOOD choice in your scenario and there is no need to get confused It is ideally good apart from away from Lahore but it is a plus for you being toward Sahiwal. Good ahead good luck.

bas replied on Sunday, April 1, 2012 09:52 PM PST Eden Value Homes will be the best choice as it is at Multan road and nearest to Motor Way.

Khan replied on Sunday, April 1, 2012 11:21 PM PST Dear Shafey Buy one kanal plot in Lake City, here you can develop your house whenever you want but DHA9 needs at least 6-8 years to develop. Allah knows the best.

Saeed replied on Monday, April 2, 2012 10:57 AM PST Dear Shafey, If your choice of location is based on “Sahiwal” and not the convenience of your kids education and future needs then you may start regretting very soon. You need to be as closer to Lahore city as possible. Kep in mind the rising cost of living and commuting when jobs and educational institutions will mostly be 20km away in case if u choose to live in BT or any other society around it.

Irfan replied on Monday, April 2, 2012 12:39 PM PST After the opening of lahore ring road it takes almost the same time to reach Babu sabu interchange from Bahria town and from Dha. And in near future it might take more time for to/from Bahria town once the road to/from Barhia gets more clogged with more people settling in currently empty housing schemes between Bahria town and Thokar/motorway. Even now it takes a lot of time to reach BT using Multan road. Canal road is faster but only till the societies on canal road are not populated. After 5 or 10 years the distance from thokar to Behria will become more than 30 minutes especially during school or rush hours. Distance matters a lot and even few KM extra every day is a big cost to pay over and over again in the form of value of fuel, time, maintenance and polution & noise that you have to suffer from through the city roads.

Shafey Tehseen replied on Monday, April 2, 2012 05:40 PM PST Dear all, thanks to all for the quick guidance. I impressed with Saeed and Irfan’s approach. I am not in hurry and can wait 6-8 years in developing my dream home. I think its good to go for DHA-9 as it is closer to Lahore City helpful my kids in approaching institutes rather i prefer my travelling concern to Sahiwal. Now, if DHA-9 is the choice, please let me know the total estimated cost to buy 1-kanal with agent fee, stamp duty, agent commission and all other charges. Now a days, AG, CMY are not in picture. I hope they are fine. Inshallah. I guess the estimate from the posts available is (24+2) 26 Lac approx. but I need to know the breakup of other probable charges and whether we have to go through agent, if yes, which one is reliable? What is the difference between buying file & buying plot?

Advisor replied on Monday, April 2, 2012 06:26 PM PST Know the difference between fortnightly traveling and daily local traveling and then decide

I am enjoying this discussion on the forum. Thanks for presenting both the views here on this forum about Phase-9 files. I am an overseas Pakistani living in GCC who bought a Phase-9 1K file recently in Jan 2012 in 24.9Lacs. I am a serious buyer with intention of a long term investment. My friend, a keen businessman in Lahore having a significant amount invested in various phases of DHA Lahore for personal use, recommended this property for investment to me around 18 months back when it was still somewhere near 14Lacs, I took a while to decide and when I decided finally the file price was well above 20Lacs. Why I still found it appealing at PKR 25Lacs + Development Charges (say 15Lacs but keep in mind that this is to be given at a later stage), is because where else in Pakistan you can get in to DHA at this price (i.e. 25Lacs). Before investing here, I checked DHA Karachi, some apartments in Islamabad and some other plots in Islamabad’s private societies and all of them were equal to or much higher than this price that I paid for DHA Phase 9. And then obviously it is DHA and in this materialistic world, brand name does count, so it was better to get a plot in DHA rather than an XYZ Society. My friend advised me at the time of buying that DHA Phase-9 will be balloted after 3 years and possession will be in 7 to 8 years, however if I believe this forum then it is much earlier than that. Anyways, this did not affect my desicion as I was looking for a long term investment. Hope all above will give you opinion of a serious buyer who is interested in building his dream home in Phase-9 at some point in future. However man proposes and GOD disposes. And verily Allah is the best desicion maker. So I leave my affairs to Almighty Allah. Ameen.

sincere advice replied on Sunday, April 1, 2012 12:43 PM PST What are the chances that you will get a good plot. Phase 9 is a big area with lot of villages (One of them Kamahan is very big ) and Hadiara drain also on one side. ALL THE PLOTS ADJACENT TO VILLAGES AND DRAIN WILL BE “BAD LOCATION” plots

jk replied on Sunday, April 1, 2012 01:30 PM PST @sincere advice why are you so negative. mext purchased his plot on good faith and rest left on Allah SWT and surprisingly you are suggesting with if and but. I believe you should re-think and call it sincere advise .

forum reader replied on Sunday, April 1, 2012 02:24 PM PST @sincere advice i don’t know why you guys are creating negative impact about phase 9 files. Let me share my experience, about 2.5 years back i buy dha phase 9 file in 1.5 million after advise of wise man who also guaranteed me if the price did not rose to double after 5 years bring me the file and i’ll buy your file at 3 million. After 2.5 year file price is 2.6 million and is close to 3 millions and i am dead sure it will around 40-50 lac within next 2-3 years. So… do not listen to the guys who create negative rummer. Let me tell Dha phase 5 balloting year 2000 Dha phase 6 balloting year 2003 Dha phase 7 balloting year 2007 Check prices of all these phase… it shows constant increase in price. Do logical research yourself.DONOT listen to WISE GUYS like “sincere advice” I am sure these guys want to achieve their own objective by creating negative rummer about phase 9 file in market. Once again do your research… and take decision.

sincere advice replied on Sunday, April 1, 2012 06:14 PM PST I am not spreading any rumours. What i said was for the benefit of forum members. This is a fact that cannot be denied. Go to Google earth yourself and see there are at least 3 ( and possibly 4 ) villages in the territory of phase 9

amir replied on Sunday, April 1, 2012 07:25 PM PST villages han tu phir kya howa dha promises us to place in dha and we would b placed in dha phase 9 … pind may nahi dal dana unhn nay hamain and plz keep this thing in ur mind dha phase 9 would b the best state of art phase of dha inshallah

Hassan replied on Sunday, April 1, 2012 07:33 PM PST @mext…i agree with your way of looking at the whole situation…ive also bought a file at 25.50…i plan to construct my house in good about 5-6 and decided to buy phase 9 after consulting with many experts and elders….M HAPPY…. :) and wish happiness for all….. @ forum reader…..you forgot to mention phase 8 ballot in 2010….so looking at the history 2013…phase 9 is next……….

UnRealisticPriceOfPhase9 replied on Sunday, April 1, 2012 08:41 PM PST Hi all, I agree with ‘Sincere advice’ that if you buy at higher price (26+ Lac) + Transfer Charges (1.6 Lac) + development charges (12 to 15 Lac) totaling 40 Lac + and if your plot is ballotted at worst location like near Drain / GundaNala, or away from main location, Its value would not be more than 32 to 38 lac after ballotting like in DHA Phase 7 or 6 some of the worst located plots are currently valued start at 34 or 36 lac max even these phase 5, 6, 7 have been balloted long time ago. I also agree with jk to not to be negative but you should always expect something unexpected and all aspects in mind. To be honest, its not something to be negative about phase 9 but everyone has to be careful while buying especially who has earned /saved the halal money by hard work of their life. For Forum reader, its not something creating negative Rumors about phase 9 file. We are not dearler/broker but just ordinary people of society and by expressing our point of view in favour or against favour of Phase 9. Don’t be offensive if someone express against it especially rapid price increase which make it suspected that price is not original & fabricated or maked up like when a women make up her face, its look so pretty but when wash the face, its back to original/natural beauty. And you would agree that natural beauty is the genuine beauty. Take care…..

Know where you’re going in life …you may already be there Dear Moderator please keep this message for a while A boat docked in a tiny Mexican fishing village. A tourist complimented the local fishermen on the quality of their fish and asked how long it took him to catch them. Not very long.” they answered. “Why didn’t you stay out longer and catch more?” The fishermen explained that their small catches were sufficient to meet their needs and those of their families. “But what do you do with the rest of your time?” “We sleep well, fish a little, play with our children, and take siestas. In the evenings, we go into the village to see our friends, have coffee We have a full life.” The tourist interrupted, “I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you! You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat.” “And after that?” “With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers. Instead of selling your fish to a middle man, you can then negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant. You can then leave this little village and move to Mexico City, Los Angeles, or even New York City !!! From there you can direct your huge new enterprise.” “How long would that take?” “Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years.” replied the tourist. “And after that?” “Afterwards? Well my friend, that’s when it gets really interesting, “answered the tourist, laughing. “When your business gets really big, you can start buying and selling stocks and make millions!” “Millions? Really? And after that?” asked the fishermen. “After that you’ll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep well, play with your children, catch a few fish, take a siesta and spend your evenings enjoying with your friends.” “With all due respect sir, but that’s exactly what we are doing now. So what’s the point wasting twenty-five years?” asked the Mexicans. And the moral of this story is: Know where you’re going in life …you may already be there

MJM Dammam replied on Saturday, March 31, 2012 04:17 PM PST It is good that you have remarkable feelings for your country and your people. I appreciate. First of all, we should keep our Qibla straight, then blame others for our misdeeds! Based on developoment charges of Rs. 900,000 for one kanal, there is a levy of surcharge by DHA Lahore of Rs. 82.191 per day. In your case, it comes to Rs. 1,644.

Umer replied on Sunday, April 1, 2012 08:37 PM PST Jazak Allah Khair MJM Bahi, Sorry I did not write clearly..Actually every three months development charges installment which is 420,000 have to pay to DHA against one Kanal plot of DHA Phase8. I want to say that if any body pay that installment after due date, is this OK or DHA will impose any panelty? thats it.

Advisor replied on Monday, April 2, 2012 06:45 PM PST Our own upper class is more dangerous than isralis, amreeki and hindoos. You should have prayed rightly.

Yes I do respect for personal feelings but they start criticism when somebody talks positive for Phase 9. I don’t know what pain they are feeling

Haris replied on Friday, March 30, 2012 05:58 PM PST if artifically increase , if anyone in profit sale it.why create rumors

UnRealisticPriceOfPhase9 replied on Saturday, March 31, 2012 10:44 AM PST Dear Mubarik Ali, Please see both sides of picture, you can not say one thing is good because all brokers/property dealers are saying go and get & spend on phase 9 file. Think about it from your own mind and heart why prices increase so rapidly in days/weeks where see country’s current situation. Majid & Haris are right its few people’s game who have loads of money to invest to increase the price artificially and fabricate in a way people like me & you say, oh go and get it otherwise, we will miss the train.. That’s shame to buy at unrealistic price. Don’t worry, its same story what what happened few years when price went up to sky at 45 Lac but came back to normal i.e. 14 Lac and its fair enough if it reaches at 20 lac gradually in couple of months but its alarming and worrying if price goes up that quickly what has been happening during last few weeks. I would love to buy file/plot in DHA only its good time, otherwise, stay calm and keep your money in your pocket unless good time comes. Even, we don’t buy / invest in Phase 9 file, its not end of world. Its better to regret to not buying it rather regretting to loose money by buying at high/unrealistic price and get lost of that price in future. God Bless you all.

MS replied on Saturday, March 31, 2012 12:26 PM PST @ UnRealisticPriceOfPhase9 , On this Forum Majority of The Person Says that It is worthwhile to buy Phase 9 even @ 26 Lacs plus with logical and solid reasoning then how can you still criticizing Phase 9 rates.If you thought that prices of phase 9 are unrealistic,then nobody force to buy.How could you use words like ” That’s shame to buy at unrealistic price ” If you are smart and has care of your hard earned money, then others has same care of their hard earned money.I think ,you missed the train and regretting not to buy @ 13 lacs.and telling us story ” The Grapes are Sours”

EuPakistan replied on Sunday, April 1, 2012 02:48 AM PST Hi Mr./Mrs.PP, I’m not sure if you have been living really in English speaking country like USA (New York) where you spell wrongly ‘NOW’ as ‘know’, ‘feeling’ as ‘filling’, ‘Pocket’ as ‘poket’. Anyway, I live in Europe and bought a file of one Kanal of DHA Lahore Phase 9 during first quarter of 2011 in Pak Rupees 1,480,000/- (Rupees Fourteen Lac and Eight Thousands) when One Euro was equal to Rs.121/- So total file price in Euro was 12,231/-. Now price of same file is Rs.2,600,000 (Rs.Twenty Six Lac) and current exchange rate of one Euro is equal to Rs.120/-. So Rs.26 Lac is equal to Euro 21,666/- Did you see above the difference in price both in Pak Rupees and Euro currency in one year especially starting from January 2012. I’m not an economist but could handle simple arithmatic. So, do you still think its because of Currency, not I don’t think so. I’m not sure but my feelings are its just involvement of some Satta baaz etc. God Bless Ya.

One of brother M.Abid from German has commented on DHA Lahore Phase 9. I’ve few comments on that. I’M SURE IF YOU HAVE BEEN LIVING IN EUROPE FOR LONG, YOU WOULD KNOW THE PROPERTY DEALER/INVESTOR/CONSTRUCTER have been in deep loss since 2008. We should talk about in general rather for particular or two / three cities/countries like Germany, Holland or France etc. These are the countries which have not been hit hard by recession due to their best Economic Strategies they used to handle recession. You can’t compare the most developed three countries with under under developed country’s property business in Pakistan. Did you not know America and rest of European Countries especially UK, Ireland, Greece, Spain, Italy etc. are still in deep recession particularly Ireland and Greece have already been bailed out by IMF due to bad & blind investment and management of property business. I’m not sure why did you not check the statistics of these countries about property prices before commenting above. O.k I will tell you now, Property prices in UK, Ireland, Greece are at nearly half the price what it was in boom time in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007. Even the current property prices are that low but still there are no buyer in the market because they can’t afford it as people have no job or money. So do you think they spend money/savings on property business like what you are thinking or referring others. You might have millions of Euros that you can think of investing money. Goodluck… How can you say property prices didn’t fall during crises period in Europe / USA, above European countries are the examples for that. I’ve mentioned already in my previous post that its best to invest in property if you can spare your money for atleast 10 years by not buying at high prices like what is now happening with 1 Kanal file of DHA Phase 9 that has high risk of loss. Another supporting point for my concern here is that in Property boom time in Europe, people thought to invest in property business regardless what high price they were buying for because they saw prices were getting higher and higher. People bought even two to four houses having greed in their mind like they bought it at e.g. 500,000 Pounds or Euros and will sell it in double of that price in couple of years time but they have been bankrupted now as they have no money to pay it back to banks or to sell the property because current price of same property/house is nearly half what they have bought in boom time. And banking system in Europe and America has already been collapsed as you know already. So people who would have bought at lowest price back in 2000 to 2003 have already made the profit or even double of what they have bought before recession started. Do you know what I mean? That’s my point to tell others never ever buy at higher price especially when price changes so rapidly whether going up or down. I totally agree with brother Abid to be 100% faith in Allah for any profit and loss in life but there are number of hadith of our beloved prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to first do the needful before you leave everything on Allah Mighty Allah. One of Sahabi (Razi Allah Talah Unho) was to leave a hourse outside house/camp and beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) asked him have you locked the horse with any locking point on ground but Sahabi said he left it on Allah who look after or save him but Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) told him to lock the horse first then to leave on Allah. So point is we should do the needful or think wisely before we say that we leave it on Allah whether profit or loss. Please correct me if I couldn’t describe the Hadith properly. Brothers/Sisters, I’m not an property expert but Allah has given us wisdom to use & spend your valuable money only when you see its worth investing.

MS replied on Friday, March 30, 2012 12:50 PM PST UnRealisticPriceOfPhase9 , I m not seeing DHA Phase 9 Prices are going Down in future @ rapid level ,it will be traded in future @ 25 +. Because there is no files behind left except DHA Phase 9.Before ballot of Park view file and Phase 5 Ext , people have choice either to buy phase 9 or other files.now for buyer of the file there is only one choice that Phase 9.

Naveed Yaseen replied on Friday, March 30, 2012 02:55 PM PST Dear UnrealisticPriceOfPhase9, something is not normal in your posts. The specific negativity for phase 9. And the passion. Good to see someone so passionately dedicating his hours to save others from skyfall! I think you have conveniently ignored (i.e. ‘tajahul-e-aarifana’) some basic facts, like… • Our double-digit inflation rate over last fourty years. Phase 9 price was probably around 17-18 lakhs in beginning 2007. In today’s inflation adjusted rupee that is at least 28 lakh. In other words, even today it is less than 2007 price in inflation adjusted rupee. • Prices of developed phases of DHA Lahore • Prices of other developed, semi-developed and undeveloped agricultural lands near Phase 9 • General prices of anything inhabitable in any large city of Pakistan. Rarely would one find anything below Rs 2.5 lakh per marla even in deepest, narrowest streets of dirtiest slums. • Our childish culture of feeling pride in owning luxurious brands. And feeling face-loss when a friend or relative owns one and we don’t. Ever wonder why many of us are willing to pay for some things lot more their unbranded worth? E.g. 5-star hotels, BMW, Rado, Ray-Ban, Nike, Apple etc. Its unfortunate but that is how many people think about DHA in our society. Rather than making chain of arguments and counter-arguments, lets make the long story short. Lets put our money where our mouth is. You said… > I can bet you, this is not going to happen again for atleast another 10 years that price goes to 45 Lets bet on this. Lets pledge some valuables in legal documents. All transparently in front of this forum. I believe betting is haram but if I win I would donate the won amount to Edhi Foundation.

Khalid replied on Friday, March 30, 2012 03:05 PM PST investment in property and expanses on your children’s education never get wasted . similarly opportunity do not knock at door so often. in an average life span it comes to you maximum 4 time and if you act in time it rewards and if you miss out you keep regretting whole life. An opportunity in shape of DHA-9 has already approached you and if you have missed out it is time to regret now and prices will never ever be so low. longer you let it go higher you have to pay to catch it. Remember DHA-3 was 12 lack in 1995 . DHA-6 16 lacs in 2003 and DHA-9 16 Lacs in early 2011. Now you keep thinking and do not waste you time in proving crow in not black.

CHASN replied on Friday, March 30, 2012 03:38 PM PST Thanks for such an intellectual discussion. Really enjoyed…

Khan replied on Friday, March 30, 2012 03:55 PM PST Dear UnRealisticPriceOfPhase9, You must also be realistic in your views about DHA 9. Please do not misguide others by writing a lot against DHA 9.

Salman replied on Friday, March 30, 2012 04:37 PM PST You can’t compare the situation in Europe with that of Pakistan for following reasons: 1) Very little prevalence of mortgages in Pakistan; hence no banking risk involved. 2) High double digit inflation since last 10 years whereas the prices of property have decreased compared to their original value already. 3) 180 million people with 48% population is below 18; As they grow older their demand for independent houses rise enormously…Genuine Demand 4) Huge number of Overseas Pakistanis believe in investment in Real estate.

Salman replied on Friday, March 30, 2012 04:41 PM PST and point no. 5) Phase 9 is worth a little more than the price of a Honda Civic. In Europe can you buy a 500 square yard plot or future promise of that plot in that value? 6) It is still 1/4th the value of a plot in DHA on which you can start construction today.

ABID replied on Saturday, March 31, 2012 12:37 AM PST Salam to all readers, Bro Unrealistic, thanks for ur comments. Those were good but not complete. Bro if you talk about whole eastern and westeren Europe then you would find some European countries even behind of my lovely country” PAKISTAN “. Specifically people made a lot money in Spain, Greece, Uk and other ur mentioned countries in the sector of real estate. And LOSS you know why people got, because they were greedy. As u said, didnot use their own brain and listened their heart. They just looked others,oh he became millionair why me not. And everyone must know, EVERY RISE HAVE FALL. Its principle of nature not mine or yours. There is also a princple those who think too much THEY ALSO LOOSE. Just win those who act and have trust in ALLAH. Right Pakistan is a poor state but who made it poor you and me too. What we done? also nothing like our politicians. But geologically this moment your state is situated in most IMPORTANT POINT, in the centre of,BEST FINANCIALLY GROWING CHINA, 2nd best fin growing INDIA, Muslims battlefield AFghanistan, Most courageous muslim state IRAN, and Arabian see. Thats why prices will rise in any way even bombs blast, no energy, no security,no roads, no discipline. Our opponants like to keep Pakistan backward but then Pakistan is ALIVE and INSHAA ALLAH will stay ALIVE, Grow and Prevail. Those who are having money let them to invest in property. If someone will buy a file with 25 lac in ph.9 or a plot in Ph.8 would gain INSHAA ALLAH. Rupee is getting down and down so its impossible that an owner will loose in dha. European developed and industrial states are also “TAX STATES” but Pakistan is so called a “TAX FREE” state. No body ask from where money came, how u earned, why u made so big profit, pay tax. There is big risk as bro unrealistic says but not in dha. Why? because people like to have home in some good developed, well knowned and trusted area. Bro unrealistic, Hadith of tieing a camel having concern with security of yourself not with trade. Business is the name of risk thats why is halal otherwise it was also forbidden if was just profit. And if we talk about need, then we shouldn’t loose time to get villas but to pray ALLAH Rabul ALLAMEEN while living in tent and having ramadan whole the year round. But u may live in Villas if all is halal and zakat paid money. May Allah Bless all of us, the muslims. amin and wa salam.

Once Again…. This was brought up by someone else as well below in the comments about DHA-9, but I want to reiterate here that Army Personel are due their next benefit after DHA Phase 8, its almost 3 years now since last major ballot and its about time (mid – later this year, or early next year) for DHA to get the ball rolling on allocating new plots to cater for these new benefits. So balloting should be coming down the pike pretty soon. I would suggest to stay put and skim the cream of the crop. Stay blessed ya’all!

javid replied on Tuesday, March 27, 2012 07:39 PM PST We highly appreciate your roll of informing people to avail this all time grate opportunity, to buy or invest in DHA-9. You are loud enough and I am sure you are giving recomendation whole heartedly and you will get credit from Almighty Allah. I am fully agreed with you DHA-9 is the best buy and 1k plot will never be as cheap as DHA-9 is today and continuous price hike in DHA-9 is witnessing it each day. Buy and enjoy then and there is grunted in DHA-9

nice replied on Tuesday, March 27, 2012 11:17 PM PST yes this is really nice news

UnRealisticPriceOfPhase9 replied on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 10:07 AM PST Hi High Roller, Javid, What is the source of this news and where is proof for this new? I’ve been hearing this kind of news for the last couple of years DHA 9 balloting will be happening in a year or two but nothing happened. Please don’t spread the news when you have no authenticity or written proof from DHA authorities by saying so & so Army personel said this of that & when you ring and try to confirm this new from DHA authority, they say, there is no date anounce yet. Please post the scanned copy of this news or put a reference of official web link of this news from DHA Lahore Authority. Does that make sense to you? Realistic person wouldn’t going to buy at unrealistic price which is just a high (80% plus)risk of loss. Remember the recent history of Phase 9 started in Musharaf time (number of years ago) when price went upto 45 lac but dropped badly to 14 lac in 2010 & 2011. Imagine, what would have happened to people who have bought at unrealistic price of 20 lac plus. I’m always so sad when see people don’t listen voice of their wisdom Allah has blessed them but see only price increase rapidly. Its simple, when price go up that quickly like it has been happening during last couple of months, definitly price will drop down more than double of its increasing time sooner rather than later. File prices are always fabricated when it increases that quickly which means there is something is behind. Look at Pakistan’s current economy, Security situation, infrastructure, GAS & Electricity & Fuel prices & their availability, DO U THINK its best time to buy at that high, unrealistic and fabricated price when there is no EXACT Date of Ballotting. Apologies if someone don’t agree with but thats what I & other realistic people feel about current file price of DHA 9. Bear in mind to add nearly 2 Lac of transfer etc. charges and 12 Lac of development charges. Thanks & comments are welcomed.

Irshad replied on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 10:34 AM PST Dear UnRealisticPriceofPhase9. I fully agree with you. People are spreading humours that price will go up go up and go up and trying to take undue advantage or hiding their potential interest in order to raise their files’ prices… But they might dont analyze people are educated now, the instable economy as you mentioned no one will look to invest in property right now which will remain barren for five years atleast. Anyone wants to increase his saving can start other lots of business and can make double with his business. Thanks for your eye opening comments. Irshad Ali – Jeddah

Lahori Baba replied on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 10:40 AM PST “when price went upto 45 lac but dropped badly to 14 lac in 2010 & 2011″ If it was 45 lacs in April 2005 why it cant be 45 lacs again. Its lot easier to see it rising to 45 lacs as many weak hearten have already sold it near 15 or 20 lacs. It was 45 lacs in 2005 & with only inflation adjustment It should be priced minimum 70 to 80 lacs today but its at just 26 lacs (Too much under priced). Any thing less dont mean its bad investment. It means there is lot of room to see rise easily. If nothing more price must rise to 45 lacs within next 1 to 2 years.

jk replied on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 10:46 AM PST Dear UnrealisticPriceofPhase9, after watching daily price hipe you are trying for face saving and talking un-realistic like Bangladeshi cricket team. I believe you have ” main na manou” attitude and can even agrue that today it 28th March 2012. it is advised to sit watch monitor a learn it is realestae business and DHA-9. prices of fruit and veg are climing high how do you expect DHA-9 will fall while number of people wanted to shift within and from out side Lahore in DHA

Lahori Baba replied on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 10:48 AM PST Irshad saab did people “spreading humours” also increased prices of DHA 5 6 7 and Bahria town. Please tell me Why prices rose in all those phases sectors schemes too? Cant people see economy Security situation, infrastructure, GAS & Electricity & Fuel price People are used to all this bad news. They think situation cant get any worst than this so they have started to make investments in property now. Also property is the ONLY safest investment any other business is not going to give better return than property.

UnRealisticPriceOfPhase9 replied on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 05:23 PM PST Dear LahoriBaba, Those happy days have gone when people can even invest / buy at the most unrealistic price of 45 Lac and it was a time of property boom throughout the world and property bubble has already been burst few years ago.There’s no point to explain what it was as everyone know those were all fabricated prices during that time. I can bet you, this is not going to happen again for atleast another 10 years that price goes to 45 when most of the developed and under-developed countries are in deep recession. However, I agree, price will go up only when ballot date is announced and development is started which is more realistic or even if price goes to 45 Lac in 10 years, inflation will mark it as it is at 20 Lac at that time. So, no point to buy it now at that high price & then regret yourself in few years time, oh, I wouldn’t have bought at that unlikely price. Well, for your point of “while number of people wanted to shift within and from out side Lahore in DHA”. I, myself was born & grew up in Lovely Lahore & I love its every single thing whether its culture, climate, tradition, education, social life which I would say best place to live in than any other part of Pakistan or even any other part of World. I can write a full book on Lahore but this is not right place/forum for that. I understand people from other part of Pakistan has dream to live in Lahore but where are those people who would have bought DHA 9 file at 35+ Lac or even at 45 Lac more than three years ago, have they moved? Ofcourse, Not, its not that easy to move when DHA hasn’t annouced the balloting date for years. Even if DHA annouces it right today which I don’t think is happing for atleast another 2 years, it will take atleast 5 years to give possission and DHA Ph 9 is far away from balloting date & then Posession / development and so on so forth. I don’t agree with point if prices of vegetable and fruites goes high then property prices also go high. Ofcourse, it does but other way around that to keep this point in mind that very less number of people has ability to afford this price. Best marketing strategy is to sell the product is at reasonable/low price which sells quickly rather keeping that stock it at high, unrealistic and unaffordable price which has more risk to spoil or get it expired depending type of product. Good example is if a fruit/vegetable has special offer/price, it could be sold in hours or even minutes but if its at high price, people only ask the price and went away or buy less than their required quanity which is currently happening in Pakistan where people are forced to buy less quantity because they can’t afford it. Do you think people can still buy property at high price where they have no other reserves to spend on their daily necessity. Another great example which is not common in Pakistan but in Western world, people wait for Post-Christmas Sale which is nearly half or less price of actual marked price before Christmas because they can afford to buy same product or even can buy more products in less then half price of what it was before Christmas. So, point here is the affordability. If 50 people can buy/afford 1 Kanal file at a realistical price between 15 to 22 Lac but if its 30+, only 10 people can afford it only who have enough money. So, you see, rest of 40 people are gone away from property market. Either, they will keep their money saved or invest in other businesses like IRSHAD ALI has mentioned on his comments. It doesn’t matter if we don’t buy the file at this point which is not end of world at this un-realistic price. But I & other people have right to express their thoughts on this forum and I really appreciate the Administrator of this Forum who give us this opportunity to say this bitter truth who might not be liked by some people and its fair enough that they can express their point of view and then its up to reader of this topic to decide whether they still want to invest/buy at this unlikely price. I wish and pray Pakistan will be the best place to live especially the PEACE and Security situation. I also understand People are used to of bad news and can’t get worst what it is now and especially bad management from politicians & Current Government but in Pakistan, always be ready to expect something unexpected which has been happening for the last decades especially during Musharaf & current PP government time. Another point, I don’t agree with “property is the ONLY safest investment any other business is not going to give better return than property”. How can somebody say it where we have seen the property bubble burst in recent past? Do you think people have that bad memory about recent property price fall. I agree with you to little extent its good place for investment only if you have spare money for 10+ years but don’t agree to buy property at unrealistic price which is currently at not good price. Thanks for your time and comments are welcomed.

High Roller replied on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 09:00 PM PST All above, please read as you are suppposed to read….what I said is just a personal opinion based on some facts. Please abstain and refrain from accusation. This forum sure can use some manners and tolerance.

DHA Islamabad Dear experts, What is the current rates for 1 kanal residential plots in DHA Islamabad phase 1 and 2? Is it worth investing or good for living? What are the future prospects? Your opinion matters Regards

Expat Advisor replied on Saturday, February 19, 2011 10:20 PM PST Very good investment, indeed but only in DHA-2, If you are not willing to go for Bahria Town. If you have a glance over the whole area starting from Sawan Bridge, you are having everything nice on both sides of the GT road. Right side, there are phases of BT, then go further and see Zaraj (very good scheme once but now became sandwiched between BT & DHA. But still the best location and fascinating view and development also not bad, if you do not compare with DHA/BT. Then comes Aghosh which is now part of the DHA, further down there is DHA-3 and move forward, you will find Bahria Garden City. This side of GT road is whole commercial and offering good returns. A 10 Marla commercial plaza with a basement will surely give you a retiring support and plot will cost you, now, around 70 Lacs. Now left side of the GT road, there are phases of Bahria town and then after a while DHA commercial starts. DHA commercial is costing now 55 to 80 Lacs (some location at GT frontage goes to one Crore) for a 4 Marla plot with DHA drain provided. This side now is not very hot but if you compare dealing with RDA/NHA (the right side of GT road), the DHA side is best in terms of taxes, the paper work and other possession related issues, such as Patwarees & problems with NHA. Commercial weightage of the area plays greater part in the residential area?s values and your basic question about the DHA-1 & 2, I would go ahead for DHA-2 AND its extension of the commoner?s Town. In DHA-2, proper, a one Kanal is as low as 42 Lacs, a 10 Marla at 28 Lacs & Best location at 30). Rent for one Kanal is min 50,000 plus and for a 10 Marla house it is above 30,000. People are shifting from DHA-1 to DHA-2 as DHA-2 is also getting popularity due to its closeness towards Islamabad highway and its extension’s projects. Work in valley is no doubt slow but DHA Homes are now coming up like anything, as the ground work has been done and ground work is the one which takes most of the time. DHA Homes are earth quake proof by the way! The development in Rawalpindi/Islamabad must not be compared with Lahore as Lahore is having a flat terrain but there in DHA-2, locations are horrific. People were even afraid to walk through in day light. In my thinking, DHA-2 is much better than G-13/G14, if you compare your investment versus returns. See in G-13, a 25*50 will cost you 50-55 Lacs (Mr. Nadeem is much better than me in CDA sectors) and both portions would yield Rs. 40,000 but in DHA-2 invest 28 (NOT for a 25*50 but a 35*70) Lacs and get the rent Rs. 30,000 plus after value additions, this will surely prove better than G-13 & 14, as there is no comparison between CDA & Defense/BT standards of infrastructure( surely Bahria Homes are excluded as their ground work is excellent, is earth quake proof but the construction material is cheapest). I hope DHA does better in DHA Homes, in phase-2 extension!

ihsan illahi replied on Saturday, February 19, 2011 11:53 PM PST prices r going down continously in dha .dont invest there u can invest in g 13 CDA sector wish u good luck INSHALLAH

Nabeel replied on Sunday, February 20, 2011 12:30 AM PST Thank you for your very useful input on DHA Ext. II, Islamabad. Your conclusions for an investment in DHA II VS Sector G 13 in Islamabad is well justified. Would you happen to know the location of Extension II, Sector ?F? in the MAP ? I am trying to understand the difference between ?DHA Ext. II, Ex-Commoner?s Town? and ?DHA Ext. II? which is shown further away from GT road on ?Wikimapia? ? Do you happen to have Extension II Map or can point out location for sector ?F? ? What is the prevailing rate for 1 Kanal plot in subject sector ? Your input will be appreciated. Thank you.

DHA Valley. Dear CMY sb, kindl advise on the future of this scheme.

Ahmed Mahmood. replied on Sunday, February 6, 2011 10:00 AM PST Chaudry Sahib, I have DHA Islamabad homes 8 Marla. I have no idea as when this project is going to finish , even when the last installment will be on march 2012. I have paid more than 6% of the installment.and still no news for the DHA islamabad Plnas for the DHA homes. More Over the DHA Valley is still even more worst as this Scheme is a vary big scheme and still no signs except the DHA expressway development. Can You please advise on the future of these two schemes , Or the answer is only to wait and keep on paying the installmetns and wait for 5 years more. Any Advise is appreciated. Ahmed Mahmood.

CMY replied on Sunday, February 6, 2011 06:56 PM PST Dear friends I am sorry I am not updated on Islamabad property. Friends from Islamabad are requested to hekp.

haroon replied on Thursday, February 10, 2011 04:39 PM PST dear friend, I visited the site my self on 5th of feb. 2011. I saw an speedy work in progress and definitely it will take 2 or 3 years more as the project is so big. Anyhow i saw some complete plots at the site. I have one 5 marla plot of mine too. Inshallah you can crop profit in this investment.

Salman Qureshi replied on Thursday, February 24, 2011 04:42 PM PST I too visited DHA Valley on 5th Feb. I own a plot in Gloxonia block and before visiting the place I had decided to sale my plot but after viewing the speedy work and a chat with an engineer and surveyor (through some reference) working in DHA Valley now I have decided to have this plot. They told me that some investors are spreading the rumors about the investments in Valley/Homes and misguiding the people. They are buying the plots in bulk on even half rates. They know that after couple of years it will start giving fruits. I suggest to all my brothers to not to sale their plots even on little profit. The blocks around the DHA homes have been leveled and will be ready to handover before the others. My block (Gloxonia) will be developed afterwards but I am still sure that I will have no regrets in having this plot.

Good Investment in Islamabad Dear CMY, Could you please tell me that what’s the good investment in Islamabad these days. I am thinking to invest long term in Islamabad.

CMY replied on Monday, January 31, 2011 02:26 PM PST Faisal bhai I am sorry I am not updated enough on Islamabad property. I request dealers from Islamabad to please help Faisal Ashraf sahib. Ch Mujaihd Yasin ( CMY ) 03224009967

Expat Advisor replied on Monday, January 31, 2011 04:52 PM PST * G-14 & G-13 but please check for the sub sectors of G-14, I think at least one of the sub sectors of G-14 is not good for buying. Similarly in G-13 be alerted for the railway line facing plots, they are very bad for buying! * DHAI phase-2: Good sectors are B, C, A, H and all others sectors are also coming up now. *DHAI Phase-2 Commoners Town: The declared sectors only. *DHAI Phase-2 GT road front side commercial plots INSIDE DHA-2. You can get now one commercial plot measuring 4 Marla from 55 to 65 Lacs. The standard plaza, built on these plots with the basement, would give you at least 1.5 lacs monthly rent. The banks and other companies are renting as this is prime location, alongside GT road. * Stay away from BT as BT is surely good but then always there are rumors and allegations on the management and you would find yourself in a constant tension even if BT keeps proving good. *DHA Homes: The Turkish Company has started the construction and if you can go see for yourself the location. Now they are selling at 2.5 lacs in loss but soon they will break even and then start making profit but remember! DHA will not deliver them on time!!! Also it must be remembered that the DHA Villas in sector-F are delayed but DHA is paying rents to the villa owners! RS 35,000 (some are getting 25,000) is being paid to them on monthly basis. No other scheme in Islamabad is good for the time being.

waji replied on Tuesday, February 1, 2011 11:27 AM PST I heard G-16 is about to give possession soon, possibly in this qtr, i think its good time to buy in G-16 as G-15 is fully developed and people are living there, I bought a plot here couple of years back, not sure how much will that worth (G-16, Plot number 343, Corner, Front Green Belt & G-15) regards wajahat

DHAI Overseas sector Cancelled DHAI has decided to drop the plan to develop Overseas Sector, which it sold to overseas Pakistanis for 85000 US dollars per kanal. Now they have planned to offer plots to all the affected people in phase II – which is already developed.

sleepless replied on Tuesday, December 21, 2010 01:15 PM PST wow, thats a lot of money. how will their other projects be affected?

jameel replied on Tuesday, December 21, 2010 02:32 PM PST That is v v good news for investors, it like getting a plot in phase 6 for phase 9,10 file.It has far better location even if DHA 2 commenrs Though these investors payed lot of money like 6.5 million for this when market was on its peaks still there is some loss. but much less than losing total amount. I dont know exact reasons to scrap that project. my own research about this was. 1.Very difficult topography 2. lack of land acquisition. 3. lack of water supply [dam which had to supply water to this project including DHA valley had been scrapped eariler due to low feasibility.

PROGRESS replied on Tuesday, December 21, 2010 03:33 PM PST Mr. Jameel, Please share your e-mail contact.

Expat Invester replied on Tuesday, December 21, 2010 04:11 PM PST Brother, Could you tell the source of info please? DHAI website has got noting to say about!

DHA Islamabad replied on Tuesday, December 21, 2010 04:35 PM PST i wonder why DHAI website still showing Overseas Sector. I HAVE SEEN & READ THE LETTER ISSUED BY DHAI TO THE AFFECTED MEMBERS. It says DHAI has decided not to develop Overseas sector due to slum in property market; however, to compensate the members dhai will allot plots to them in phase-II by ballot, date of which will be announced later-on.

jameel replied on Wednesday, December 22, 2010 02:39 AM PST progress u can send email on jameelm68 at ya hoo dot com i intentionally wrote email in this way reason is to prevent search engines used by spam mailers

Abdullah Qureshi replied on Wednesday, December 22, 2010 06:12 AM PST $85,000 x Rs.84 = Rs. 71,40,000 Aren’t open market plots in DHA2 available for 50-65 laks? If above is correct, and DHAI is maintaining a dollar account, then DHAI is making ~ 5-20 lak profit or am I missing something here?

DHA Islamabad replied on Wednesday, December 22, 2010 09:31 AM PST @ Abdullah – u r not missing anything except that during launch of the project $ was at rupee 60. However, DHAI maintain that overall all the sectors have suffered in terms of loss, therefore, there is no much difference. Also note that in DHAI-II 1 Kanal plots are available from 35 lacs and go as high as 80 lacs.

PROGRESS replied on Wednesday, December 22, 2010 10:28 AM PST Thanks bahi Jameel. regards

jameel replied on Wednesday, December 22, 2010 10:48 AM PST Abdullah qureshi, when these plots were booked people were hyped by euphoria, ever since all the property has lost about 1/2 of its value. Now if some one say I bough DHA 8 file in 80 Lac and You are giving a plot in DHA phase 8 worth 30 Lac there is some thing missing here so give my 80 lac back

Aslam replied on Saturday, December 25, 2010 11:58 PM PST What about DHA Homes which i think is part of DHA vally. Is there any news, will it be completed? and when. please share the news if any one has any update about this project.

AAMIR ALI replied on Monday, December 13, 2010 02:36 PM PST Any Idea about DHA HOMES PROJECT . ITS COMPLETION & CURRENT PRICE. IS IT GOOD FOR INVESTMENT & FUTURE LIVING. I AM INTERESTED TO BUY ONE.

Thanks God I m not in Pak replied on Monday, December 13, 2010 04:25 PM PST @ Naeem, You are right, Nadeem Bhai apney galey si nikal key dosrey ko kio phasa rahey ho…. phir kehtey ho pakistan TARAKI nahi karta hahhahah

Salman replied on Monday, December 13, 2010 04:57 PM PST I think that currrently all housing projects all over Pakistan are in minus so DHA valley is no exception. i believe its is not like “apney galey si nikal key dosrey ko kio phasa rahey ho”. This is an investment opportuniity and every boday has his/her own calculation of risk taking. DHA valley might take long to give capital gain, but so was Islamabad (property values multiplied since 80s and 90s). I advise investors of DHA valley to be patient. InshAllah they will reap benefit.

DHA Homes Islamabad in DHA valley Does anyone has information about DHA Homes Islamabad in DHA valley (DHAI-Phase2 ext)? How are these from investment point of view, future value and from living point? If you see its location from Google earth (image date Mar 15, 2010) they have not leveled the surface even where they are going to built DHA Home. If they are going to complete the project in further 1 and half year time then by Mar 15, 2010 atleast they should have leveled the area rather should have built roads/infrastructure in the area. All are requested to put light on this. Aftab

raza replied on Saturday, December 4, 2010 09:21 PM PST dha homes is a good project. prices will boast up in 2014

salman replied on Sunday, December 5, 2010 01:30 PM PST I agree with Mr Raza. inshAllah its a good investment but we need to hold it. “pewesta reh shajar se umeed-e-bahar rakh” :)

Zakwan Khalid – KSA. replied on Monday, December 13, 2010 02:40 PM PST Please inform me of the latest development stage of DHA Homes. Since i am living abroad in KSA i am not aware of recent updates. Also i want to know if there any progess & will it be good for living there by 2012 / 2013.

I wanted to check if it is a good idea to sell the plots right now? do you know the current market rate for DHAI Valley 8M plots? thanks in advance.

khan from canada replied on Tuesday, November 23, 2010 07:50 AM PST Hang on to them. Long term investment but good one

DEF replied on Friday, November 26, 2010 08:11 AM PST ABC, AOA, Do you have any info about value of 8 marla in Overseas Block, or Sunflower Block ? Thanks in advance

Aamir replied on Sunday, November 28, 2010 03:49 PM PST thank you guys. as expected, Very helpful. I am not not in a hurry anyways to sell these as i bought them for longer term.

Salman Qureshi replied on Thursday, February 24, 2011 05:12 PM PST I visited DHA Valley on 5th Feb. I own a plot in Gloxonia block and before visiting the place I had decided to sale my plot but after viewing the speedy work and a chat with an engineer and surveyor (through some reference) working in DHA Valley now I have decided to have this plot. They told me that some investors are spreading the rumors about the investments in Valley/Homes and misguiding the people. They are buying the plots in bulk on even half rates. They know that after couple of years it will start giving fruits. I suggest to all my brothers to not to sale their plots even on little profit. The blocks around the DHA homes have been leveled and will be ready to handover before the others. My block (Gloxonia) will be developed afterwards but I am still sure that I will have no regrets in having this plot.

DHA homes are also occupied and people are living there. Besides, the area has become more beautiful and precious after the completion of ring road section. All facilities (Gas, water, Wapda electricity) already there. Still no market Inside PV but Metro is at 3 minutes drive and all other types of shops on defence road. very close.

Dont worry, its a good invest but for long term. Wait for two years.

DHA islamabad i have one plot in Bahria town safaaree valley usman block… although some development is there in that area but it looks to be little far from main GT road now … i do not know what is the future of this ….can any one like ATIQ raja and Mian Nadeem from islamabad will guide me taht should i hold or sell it… Also i will ask that Now a days DHAI pahse-2 extension file is avaialable in what amount ???? and what is the future of DHAI phase-2 extension ????? in how much time it looks to be develop…before or after Dha valley>>>?/////???? location wise ??? and stadard of living wise????

atiq raja. replied on Friday, September 3, 2010 05:47 PM PST sorry there is no future of dha2ext or dha vally,need at least 25 years to build a house in these areas,if you want to invest such along time than better to invest in defense certificates,for building in newly developed areas,e/11,d/12,g/13,korang.police09,g/15.bt 1to6,dhai and 2 or swan are the only options for future investment e/11 and d/12 are good,if you have enough money than invest in f6 to f/11 and e/7, keep in mind dont invest in g and i sectors.

abubaba replied on Friday, September 3, 2010 06:47 PM PST Atiq Raja Sahib, In the family we have two files of 8 marlas in the Comm Avenue, which is a joint venture of DHAI and Bahria town. development work is going on but the area is difficult to develop. both the files are 7 installments paid. Please advise me:- 1. should i sell these? if yes, then are there any buyers and for what kind of loss will one file sell? 2. Should i get it merged and leave the amount paid extra in one of the files account.( so far we have paid 22 lacs each). 3. should i continue to pay the installments and keep the files. It is though great burden to cough out 520,000 every three months.

Ikram replied on Friday, September 3, 2010 08:48 PM PST Dear Atiq Raja Sahib, AOA I am at London and thinking of investing some money in Islamabad CDA approved new sectors with possession and I need you your advice,experience & help in choosing the right investment. I would be much obliged if we can communicate furthe.My E-Mail address is Ikram@earthmail.co.uk Many Thanks.

atiq raja. replied on Friday, September 3, 2010 10:50 PM PST abubaba,if you want to build your house than wait for at least 20 year Mr akram your mean cda own sector there is no any reliable new sector accept g13 or d/12,approved sector is only e/11 which is good other wise look dha2 bt1 to 6,dont invest other approved sectors or societies, presently i am in uk atiqraja@hotmail.com

Mian Nadeem replied on Saturday, September 4, 2010 12:02 AM PST Mukhtar Bhai: DHA II ext is maximum 5 to 7 years investment.If u have only 6 lekh and can spare 30 thousands monthly for development charges then its ok other wise in 21 to 23 lekh u can purchase plot in DC Block DHA-II.DHA-II Ext blocks upto k will develop in first phase and L to T blocks will be developed with DHA Valley. DHA Valley: Due to over supply and less demand rates are low. Critics of DHA Valley should mention alternate in this range (5 marla in 650000 and 8 marla 880000 payment in 36 months). Living standard in DHA-II Ext will better as compare to valley. Reason ONLY 500 Yards plots. Bahria Phase 8 , Phase 9 . and CDA sectors can take 10 to 25 yeras then allottees of Valley should wait atleast till end of 2012. Ikram Sb: G-14/1,G-14/2,G-14/3 and E-12 are suitable for long term investment. D-12,G-14/4 and G-13 are suitable for immediate construction. Atiq Raja: Visit Islamabad with 10 yeras old kid he will say that E-7 ,F-6,F-7 are best places but for those not having 30 to 70 million Rs u may kindly recomend areas according to given price ranges. Regards

I personally visited the area almost 200 Villa’s are completed and 160 Villa handedover to owner and about 50 families living there and their business bay is working two with Shaheen Chemist and KFC Levis and many more shops around 10 or 12 and you are saying its going to be develop after 20 or 25 years ? can i ask abt ur assessment based on ? i mean many families living in DHA Phase 1, safari Homes II , safari villas, awami villas and all are adjourned to eachother . Classes going on in AQ Khan school and college in Bahria Phase 8 and AQ khan hospital is operating also … Strange and yea Mian Nadeem sb is absolutely right abt F-7 and F-8 sectors the most expensive sectors in islamabad and for investment point of view i guess not suitable for business yes they r like u buy a house abt 70 million then u can ranted that house on .3 or .4 milllion .Regards Sami.
