DHA 9 will go gradually up and up while occasioanlly pulling back a little on profit taking. It is in the up trend now and there will be more buyers than sellers on every pull back. As you can see recently when it pulled back from 15.50 to 15 Lacs many buyers showed up and took it to 16.50 Lacs. If it comes back to below 16 a lot of buyers will again take it above 17 Lacs.

In fact many big fish are trying to keep it low so that they can buy as many files as possible at low rates but the big fish cannot control the market when there are a lot more buyers than sellers in the market especially overseas buyers who are sending record remittances to Pakistan recently. They just cannot fight the supply and demand scenerios.

Supply is very limited and most buyers are long term holders. When big money will start buying at whatever available price you will see the prices shoot quickly to the 2004, 2005 level. Many properties have already gone back to the 2004, 2005 level or very close, for example DHA Phase 5 & 6. And now other properties are following to catch up to their actual worth. Properties in Pakistan are still cheapest compared with wealth factor and affordability in Pakistan and other countries of the region.

In last six months DHA 6 gained 20 lacs. DHA 7 gained 10 lacs. DHA 9 was past due for 5 lacs gain. Look for 18 to 20 lacs price in next 30 to 90 days.

But sir CMY, with due respect i disagree. A file is a file and a plot is a plot.

disclaimer: i own a file and would love to see it grow but i dont know if its sustainable

Observer replied on Friday, July 22, 2011 06:34 AM 

Yes the file is file but all DHA plots were files once and then became plots. In fact DHA 7 and 8 proper are still files because you do not have a possession there yet. In due time DHA 9 will also be like regular DHA plots. If one cannot afford a plot he will buy a file for future investment. As the plot prices rise so will the file prices. Keep in mind DHA 9 location is much better than DHA 7. It is next to DHA Phase 4 and 5.

DHA 9 will have best approaches among all DHA Phases including approaches from Ferozpur road and Lahore Ring Road. And some blocks of DHA 9 are already under development.

No real answer is available for the current rise in DHA 9/10 files. Its only because of the buzz in the market for current Ballot being held on 28th. Expect these files to fall very soon.

The current price hike is not only because of the upcoming ballot hype. Infact, a large number of overseas Pakistanis are now a days in Pakistan due to summer holidays in schools. Most of them are looking for safe investment and DHA has got advantage of the situation very wisely. Our these brothers are a significant reason for this price rise. And as CMY has already analysed, it is expected to continue rising till at least end of September.

Please dont mix a DHA file with other private developers files. There is a huge difference in these two types of files.

In DHA phase 9 a allocation file is issued only after DHA buy 4 kanal land free of cost and land owner also agree to pay development charges. In return of 4 kanal land now is DHA bound to give you one kanal plot. No land means no files.

In other schemes a file is issued against initial booking of plots with out any land in hand. Than after booking a good developer buy land with your money you pay in installments in next 3 to 5 years and latter come the turn of development and you are asked to pay development charges at current rates when development starts.

DHA 9 files price rise have nothing to do with balloting on July 28th. No one is saying here that DHA 9 one kanal will be in ballot on July 28th. But its a fact we are now getting closer and closer to have a ballot of DHA 9 as all extra land have now been sold in installments by DHA Lahore or current booking or given in shape on new 5 and 10 marla bookings and DHA town. Since most spare land is now allotted DHA Lahore can now start to get one kanal files balloted as well. Not at July 28th 2011 but very soon. Max 12 months from today if you ask for my guess after this recent bookings.

Prices is rising because when you ask a person to sell their file he tells you I am not mad. DHA is selling 10 marla at 25 lacs and two files of 10 marla today cost 50 lacs including development charges. Sellers say why should I sell my 1 kanal in DHA 9 for just 26 lacs including development charges.

Price is rising because a person is calculating DHA is selling 4 plots of 5 marla at 40 lacs today. So sellers are telling us before development charges deduction their one kanal file should be worth min 30 lacs at today's rate.

With development on going in and around all 4 sides of DHA phase 9 like in Ashiyana housing State Life phase 1 DHA town DHA 4 DHA 5 DHA 6 Country homes and Eden lands two interchanges of ring road people are very hopeful their long wait and their bad times are finally over.

That is called expert analysis.

It will rise more when DHA will offer 1 Kanal plots in DHA phase 9 on installments between 40 to 45 lacs including development charges.
