AoA, When anyone says market is going Up or Down its a gernal statment. Someone,s personal experience could be different. I am an overseas Pakistani and came back last week from Pakistan after spending 2 months in Islamabad and 1 week in Karachi. I personaly visited many socities in Zone 2, and Zone 5. My family is currently residing in PWD, Zone 5. Lots of development work and construction work is going arround. Roads are alot better than they were 5 years ago. Keep in mind population is growing, People need houses to live. And Pakistan, esp. big cities like karachi, lahore and islamabad are facing shortage of houses. in last 03 months, On my street in PWD 02 houses are being sold by the contractors and 04 houses are under construction. Contractors are making good money. They are not dumb people they know their business really well. Construction of New Islamabd Airport is in full swing. In the short term things might look dark to some guys but in the long term real estate have good future in Pakistan. Keep in mind Credit is the base of growth in overseas real estate market, whereas in Pakistan its mostly cash. Means there are still lots of options less explored in Pakistan. Fahad Toronto, Canada |
