Islamabad DHA Phase 2 Ext.,

(71381)
Thursday, April 5, 2012 10:59 AM 

I just moved back to Lahore from USA, was born/brought up in Lahore. I bought a file in Phase 9/10 DHA Lahore which looks a very good investment for now. Can someone please suggest what if I invest my second chunk of money in DHA Islamabad Phase 2 Ext. its selling only for 7.5/K. I know nothing about Islamabad and never lived over there.

DHA Phase 2 Ext might take longer time than usual. But don't know, maybe pick up. It depends for how long you want to keep the property and then sell off. Make your decision based non your priorities.

People use to talk 10-20 years for phase 9 Files at DHA Lahore not so long ago. But look at the file prices momentum during last 6 months.
DHAI administration seems to be in napping mode, as compared to their brothers at DHA Lahore or Karachi. You will find Islamabad markets somewhat clueless on their projects completion time frame. To be honest, there is no certainty about DHAI Phase 2 Ext or even Phase I Ext. It is same 10-20 years talk ....
I suggest that if you have money with sufficient holding power; evaluate both DHAI Ext options, try visiting the area yourself, and make decision accordingly. To be on safe side do not expect any short term gains and you should keep a time frame of atleast 5 years in mind for some shaping up of this area.

I think plot price is not 7.5k, bcoz you will be paying 14.75 over this as development charges. so it will be costing you around 22 lacs :)
