Is there really a meeting today with real estate sector? any update on outcome?

ShahzadQamar® replied on Monday, July 18, 2016 10:45 AM 

I think it is just a false hope rolled by Dar to keep the sector calm for a short period,,,he will not make any withdrawls to his decision of taxation.

Dear Shahzad
please don't spread ghost news, meeting was at 3PM and wait for the outcome and FYI all the parties are serious to resolve the matter at a win-win situation.

Habib replied on Monday, July 18, 2016 11:38 AM 

Dar have nothing to do here, Slow down in real estate sector was expected and there were clear signs about that These Taxes have actually put oil on already burning fuel.
Even if Dar will say every thing comes Back to usual the Momentum have been broken. The Sale Purchase will stop to very low Level the Demand prices will remain higher Many Months even Up to year, Only desperate sellers will sell. After 6 months if situation will remain like this then fall of prices will be there and market will enter in Slump period.
In 2005 there were no new Taxes and same thing happened Prices stopped Growing in early 2005 and Bottomed in 2008 to 2009.
Each times Boom and Slump comes we give many intelligent reasons to blame this and that but it is hallmark of all business no matter Gold, Oil stock etc.
That is why CMY said many estates will close Quick gains are unhealthy and in Slow upward moving markets every one enjoys.
I feel sorry for Those who purchased inflated properties in Hype in spite of warnings to seasoned analysts.
Investors will find way to exit

this is why cmy said na koi property brhte he rahy ge na koi giri he rahy gi , meant every season come monsoon over it's time for autumn , taxes will add insult to injury and in long run very beneficial . but as few said in 2020 lahore property will be rock high and all big cities after this slump will gain as deserve , in 2020 punjab govt will spend billions on lahore . but slump is slump

Mr habib is right. And if you look at the interest rate in 2005 and it's almost same level as today so it's the time. When every body's start buying files and plots, there is always crash and I talk to some web designer in Pakistan and every body was buying files and they said they made more money than their own profession. I sold my plot 4 months ago and sitting on cash...repeat of 2005.

Khalid Azad® replied on Monday, July 18, 2016 12:38 PM 

Habib sb I agreed with you that property Slump are already started. Now previous high prices will not come in near future.
I already worm this but some of my friends feel not good my words, So I stop warning.
This is same Slump as 2005 period. Big players already gain and execute and now we will wait till next move that is nearly after 2020.

There is no alternative of property for Pakistani in short & medium term. Today not only interest rate on PKR is historically low but future expectations are also downward. At the end of 2005 USD was earning more than 4% interest rate today it's almost 0%. Pakistan economy reletively growing at very healthy rate and for incremental money there seems no other option but only property.

A committee has been formed in the meeting of FBR and Builders Association....it would start meetings after 2 days to finalize proposals in consulation with all stke holders...expats specially please stop all remittances to Pakistan i.e. govt can be brought under pressure....

User_9325® replied on Monday, July 18, 2016 02:06 PM 

people who are waiting for a crash will keep hoping and lahore properties will only go up and up. this time the growth is infrastructure driven and billions are being injected into development this fiscal year also. correction if happened will be max 10 to 20 percent. we will all be here after six months and will see what will happen

Khan replied on Monday, July 18, 2016 02:55 PM 

Amazing to read that the prices will go up and up! How high they can go? how many people can afford? Please try to understand the economics! Prices can as high as people can afford. I can give you my own example. I have been living in USA over thirty years. I can tell frankly I am having a hard time buy a plot or house in Pakistan. Seriously thinking about selling everything in Pakistan staying in USA. Because USA is stilling affordable than Pakistan.
Regards

im in dubai.. a 700 sq ft 1 bed room apartment at average locality is around 7 lac dirhims which translates to about 2 crore rupees. only 700 sq foot of below average construction without land, leased onto yur name for 99 yrs. so for me lahore real estate is still cheap as I can buy a decent 10 marla house in this budget in posh areas. Dont know about USA. It might be cheap to buy villas there in downtowns of major cities. and Insha Allah yu will see these prices to double in coming 3 to five years.these taxes cannot stop the flow of money.

Habib replied on Tuesday, July 19, 2016 05:39 AM 

User 9325 There is no Comparison of Rents in UAE and Pakistan, These are serviced apartments
Also DHA offered Flats in phase 5 in 3 Cror Plus Just few Months Back, People who went for that will have to wait 10 years to reach inflation adjusted fair price

pakistan is going to witness billions of dollars of investment in CPEC and industrialization with inprovement in energy situation expected till 2018. GDP will reach 6 percent Insha Allah. we as nation prefer our own houses. when people will start making mobey, they would naturally go for making their homes and real estate demand will increase. there is already shortage of housing in pkaistan. im optimistic Insha Allah. if tthere is no polictical turmoil and elections happen smoothly, I see good future for Pakistan as well as real estate. As far as thise DHA apartments are concerned , I dont consider them a good buy as those are insanely expensive. may be high net worth people took them for whom 3 crore doesnt matter for partying and PRIVATE meetings in a secure surrounding
