Real Estate Trends In Pakistan Over The Last 10 Years

The Real Estate industry as well as the market itself has evolved significantly over the last decade. While since the early 90’s as well early 2000’s and even long before real estate has always been considered a safe investment that was bound to see an appreciation upon initial amounts, however most people at the time chose to often only invest in plots and houses that they eventually planned on moving in. This trend has significantly changed in the past decade with the emergence of premium projects and better installment plans. Also, now it has become easier than ever to secure a plot or a luxury apartment in a project that is still under construction.

This apparently began with the advent of Gulshan-e-Maymar, once considered a barren piece of land in the outskirts of Karachi has now developed into an exceptionally habitable society. Furthermore with the societies of grand scale have also surfaced, where a large number of plots have already been purchased or are being given installments show the interest the people have taken towards investing in projects solely with the purpose of selling upon appreciation.

Economic Contributions

Currently, the real estate sector is the second largest employer within the economy of Pakistan, the first being cotton. The industry itself is worth 700 billion dollars. And these statistics are likely to continue their upward trend even after the world being affected as of currently with the pandemic of coronavirus. The reason behind this speculation is simply because construction was one of the first sectors that were given permission to operate under SOP by the government.

Prime Minister’s Recent Real Estate Relief

Recently, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Mr. Imran Khan also announced a relief package for the real estate sector in order to further encourage the industry’s growth and subsequent employment at the same time. The amnesty scheme has provided for the tycoons to invest without having to burden themselves with a tax or even investigations for their finances. In other words, an investor can easily inject money in the real estate market without having any questions asked. For those who had been looking for a way to make amends regarding their shadier business earning, this provides for a golden opportunity to turn their earnings for their benefit as well as be counted as part of the GDP generation.

Another incentive provided by this scheme entails that there will be no capital gain tax charged to a person who sells his property, paving way for a profit of millions without having to share with the government.

Another and this may be the most important part that could save money for investors while infusing the economy with investment, if a person decides to invest in the government’s real estate development scheme, the investor would have a rebate of 90% on his taxes.

All in all, this policy is likely to carry a boom in the Real estate industry in Pakistan and the trend is likely to continue at least for the tenure of the current government.
