Over the last few years, the population of Islamabad has seen a sharp uptick.

This sudden rise in the number of residents has also increased the demand for housing options in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a number of new residential projects offering affordable housing in Islamabad, you are bound to get confused between which neighbourhood would be a better fit for you and your family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily for your, this in-depth analysis of the market trends in the most sought after areas to buy houses in Islamabad is exactly what you need before making any big decisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To start things off, you need to know that houses for sale in Islamabad<\/a> usually include 5 marla, 10 marla and 1 kanal options. However, the area size could vary with each locality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the search trends<\/a> for the month of April 2019 on Zameen.com, here are the five most popular areas to buy a house in Islamabad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retaining its position as the top area with houses for sale in Islamabad, Defence Housing Authority (DHA) ranked first on the popularity index with the search result of 15.7%. Compared to the previous month, Defence Islamabad<\/a> saw a 1% increase in total searches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
