Real Estate Forecast for Pakistan for year 2020

Real Estate Market Forecast in Pakistan for the year 2020

Buying and owning in real estate is a great investment strategy. The healthy gains real estate providers have no match with any investment but like all markets, it doesn’t behave the same at all times. The real estate market moves in cycles. At a certain time, one strategy can be beneficial for you and the same strategy in slump time can force you to think that your investment is stuck now for a long duration. We will discuss a few scenarios here now.

Investing in Rental Products

The oldest and basic way to invest is to buy high rental properties. This method helps you to remain stable in slump time; roughly good areas of big cities of Pakistan provide 5% to 7% annual rental return, It’s always recommended to keep a portion of your investment i.e 25% to 35% in these properties.

Underpriced, Continuous Value Addition & Possession Areas

These areas are difficult to find but by keeping a close eye you can definitely find a few ones in any city. These areas are always the target of genuine buyers, the ones who want to construct their homes at all times. No matter the market is stagnant or there is a hype period end users keep on moving to these areas. The major cause of price increase in these areas in the slump/stagnant market is low prices in comparison with the surrounding locality. What we want to highlight here that prices appreciate in these areas slowly and slowly in the stagnant market. Roughly a good underpriced area can give you a gain of 25% to 40% till the maturity of that property, some areas may gain by 50% but that is an exception. A good investor must check that area should have possession, there is continuous value addition i.e genuine buyers are moving for home construction, some construction activity is going on, rental demand exists here, and finally the important one it must be underpriced. There are various examples like DHA Phase 9 Town in the last 3 years. Now DHA Phase 7 is on the way.

High Potential Investments

The last and safest way which we always recommend to our clients is to buy high potential properties. The prices of these areas may remain stable or drop in stagnant/slump time but it also gives you a good opportunity to buy them in this duration. Once the market starts improving or with time when these projects enter into genuine buyers list then they gain massively in the long run. The gains these areas observe normally have no match with any investment. It is highly suggested to keep the major portion i.e more than 60% of your investment in these areas. The real estate sector of our country these days is in depression. It’s a very good time now to buy plots/files in DHA Multan, DHA Bahawalpur, DHA Gujranwala, DHA Phase 9 Prism Lahore, etc.

Trends in Real Estate Market

The latest real estate trends are best described as a mixture of both positive and negative developments. For starters, the prices of real estate property continue to skyrocket, which is being driven by a variety of factors. Such factors include the looming economic downturn and the emergence of a new buyer demographic, in the form of Millennials. However, some sectors are not that comfortable with the increase in home prices, expressing worries that a housing crash may be on the horizon.

Here, we present to you the latest real estate trends for 2020 including research results that have many pundits remaining confident of the real estate market. You’ll also understand why the decline of home price increases and the rise in taxes & interest rates that marked 2019 are seen to result in changes in the Pakistan real estate market, particularly for homebuyers.
