"Once it falls, it will fall drastically"
DHA Multan could be a good investment, had the following factors not attached with it!

1. Availability of DHA phases in different other cities, such as Bahawalpur,Gujranwala, Peshawar will restrict the investment from other cities to a greater extent, as locals will tend to buy in their respective cities.

2. DHA Multan is a big big phase, more than 3000 kanal land! How much time will it take to develop such a big phase,considering the fact that DHA is already engaged in massive Prism which it might not be able to develop in the next decade to come.

3. Whole of DHA Multan phase consists of 1 kanal plots. When it comes to building a house in 1 Kanal plot, it becomes quite a difficult task for the locals.....

4. Not so many landlords live in the vicinity who could buy such a huge phase ( Now , landlords construct their house in Lahore for their children to study instead of Multan and also want to buy property in Lahore as "Lahore Lahore hey :D"

5. Locals are not brand conscious, and those who are prefer to buy in Lahore instead of Multan.

6. Overseas Pakistanis invest in DHA till the point they see their investment is gaining. Their purpose is not to build home there in DHA Multan. In contrast, overseas invest in DHA Lahore to build their sweet home after their retirement/return back to country.

7. Investment of 3million plus 2 million Development charges is justified for a plot which really would take more than a decade to develop? and still the people don't know whether their plot will be a good location/ worst location.

I reckon the time when DHA 9 files were sold at 45-50 lac per kanal....at that time everyone was saying it is a good buy.....but what happened then? The files were sold as low as 14 lac a Kanal from where they started rising again.


Many opportunists who are buying DHA Multan are there to keep it for a year and sell it for profit of 10 or more lacs. Once ballot is done, there would be huge supply of plots available and that too at the dirt cheap rate when there would stagnation in development of DHA Multan.

So keep in mind and keep on



People are discussing a lot about the pros of DHA Multan..... one should know the Cons as well !!!!

I know many people will disagree, they can for sure....your money, your decision!

There is a lot of growth potential in Multan. I think populating 3000 houses in phase 1 is not a big issue.

I respect the views of Ekrar...However, i visited the area in early December to get allocation letter of my purchased file...I was amazed by the location of the scheme...DHA is lying in close vicinity of 3 leading roads of Multan....Metro is also being constructed alongside the scheme...in view of the foregoing, I see a lot of potential for the growth of DHA Multan...In terms of Lahore, you can somewhat compare it with area of Ichhra on Ferozpur Road...

1. locals will buy in their respective cities if they intend to build a home there. They will invest however anywhere in Pakistan if the yields are good.
2. DHA can and will work on different phases in parallel as it subcontracts developers and doesn't use its own cranes or bulldozers.
3. That's a long term discussion. Currently we need to look at DHA only as an investment.
4. Multan is the capital of Southern punjab and Multanis are quite proud to be Multanis regardless of their love for Lahore.
5. DHA is not just a brand, its the safest heaven for property investment in Pakistan. I am sure even Multanis must have had many issues with below par developers in Multanis charging an arm and a neck for substandard developments solely because of the absence of a dependable master developer.
6. At the current stage, DHA Multan is just an investment. The end user market effect wont be visible till the development is complete and possessions are being announced.
7. Good point - a lot of spectulators will dump their plots in the beginning but that doesnt always mean doom and gloom. Thousands of Prism sellers were there after the ballot but the prices kept rising anyway. Today some people aren't willing to sell their plots for 105.00 (ex development charges) even though there are plenty of buyers available.

P.S. I have no investments in DHA Multan

DHA multan will be slow gainer but will gain, multan is seeing great infra structure devlpmnt, dream garden, habib rafiq project and dha.. so progressive trend is there.. just wait till 2016 mid or end to invest in residential plots of dha.. its not favourble time

Though i'm an investor in DHA Multan, it is nice to see other perspective also. In my opinion the pros are still more than the cons. Thanks anyway.

What about 25000 kanals of Prism and other hundreds of other societies in Lahore.
All the money going to villagers going to make Multan very rich. An acquaintance of mine jumped from Alto to Land cruiser by selling all his agri land in DHA Multan.
Price of DHA Multan will grow steadily after ballot other than small fluctuations.

Zaidi replied on Friday, December 18, 2015 05:48 AM 

DHA Multan is good investment in term of safe investment because it is DHA, but it is also true it is a quite long term investment. DHA Multan cannot compete with DHA Lahore or DHA Karachi. It will increase but at lower pace. It will be a test of patience.

everyone here is an property expert. what to do? Ekrar sb. can not buy file in multan so he thought why not he should malign the whole dha multan project just based on his brain wave. do not bash any project just on the basis of your imagination paa Ekrar

I thing Dha Multan has priority and more future profit due to its prime location and current price.It is surrounded by many internation schools and Universities The societies arround it have rate nearly 4-8 lac per Marla.Even newly announced societies near it have maintain this rate.So when Dha ll develop the society in 3-5 years,then with the development standard of Dha rate ll b more than surrounding area.
Current rate in only arround 29,So I think in this rate any society in Pakistan cannot give profit like Dha Multan.
