Buying trends

Buyers interested in 1-kanal plot category found Block C more attractive. plots around Block C’s sector park have especially sold like hotcakes in the past.
When asked about the situation in previously popular Block N, Akhtar replied that in the absence of investors during the last couple of months, rates here dropped significantly. The drop was prominent because the rates had gone up by a decent percentage in the past investment phase. For the blocks where development work was yet to kick off, price depreciation was less prominent.
Shedding light on price trends of plots in the developed blocks, Akhtar said that drop was rather marginal, and has lately been recovered.
Development status
Bahria Town’s machinery is currently busy developing Blocks P, K, O and Blocks C-1 and C-1 Extension. Despite the fact that development work in Block N hasn’t been completed yet, work there has been put on hold. It is a general perception that as soon as a new deal is launched in some block, the machinery is moved there. This leads to selling the land faster as investors see work in progress on the site and feel convinced that their investment is poised for growth in market value.
Initiation of development work in fact jacks up property rates. Combined with active buyers, the process becomes quicker. Lately, Bahria Town has launched new deals for plots in Blocks P and K and since these are essentially issued as forms, no property tax or transfer fee is applicable on them.
