I also have a feeling that DHA is somewhat overinflated because of the large number of investors fleeing Bahria, who have sought refuge in the security offered by DHA. However, the security of investment offered by military run projects cannot be matched by any brand in this country, not even CDA. Even the less talked about Naval Anchorage project owned and maintained by Navy has been doing well in this slow market with prices gaining steadily. My feeling is that this trend will likely continue for at least next one year.
Saadi can you explain the difference in audience of both type? Which type of investor will go to DHA 2 KLMNPQ and which type will go to Bahria 8?
And which type will go to Bahria 1-4 and which type to DHA-2 A to J?
@ Awais..Sir dha is not over inflated in fact it had not gained much in the past due to oversupply which is not the case anymore.Have you ever seen the prices in falcon colony on highway.Would you call it over exaggerated considering the fact that dha has much better infrastructure and planning with the security of investment to offer.
Mark my words sir.Dha will keep on gaining with steady pace.Its the business model of dha.
1-They buy land in far flung areas because they cannot afford to buy huge lands in the center of city.
2-Development takes time and rices remains low for many years due to oversupply and being far from city.
3-They keep on developing the facilities there and with the passage of time people start to go for those areas.
4-A time comes when demand supply ratio gets balanced and they provide so much facilities that you do not need to go to city centers for anything.
5-Then it keeps on gaining with time.
I hope i am able to explain the model..Just analyse as same was the case with dha khi and lhr and look at those now.They remained dirt cheap for years.Isb is comparatively in its embryonic stages and you will see isb will catch up the rest of famous expensive dhas of country.
Dear Pardesi sab,
App na to bara ookha ja sawal pooch lia....
SAADI bahi will take at least two to three days to answer you lol..

@ PArdesi sir..Sir bahria has mostly the investors who do not have the long term holding capacity where as dha has only big -pocketed permanent investors who do not invest anywhere else. Dha 2 K to P has no comparison with phase 8 as the former have big investors with bigger investors and they have holding capacity.They do not sell their plots in haste and wait for the right time that is why prices remain stable with upward trajectory in dha.
Bahria 1 to 4 has no or very few investors at this stage as only builders are working there.
Saadi I recognize the methodology you have explained with which not just DHA but all military schemes succeed. It is credible and time tested, no doubt. But 3 million for a totally undeveloped 5 marla plot, and that too falling on a piece of land which is under litigation? Something just doesn’t add up.
@ awais…SIr let me tell you that the area of 5 marla is not in litigation at all…Look at 5 marla prices in J block…Thirdly dha never remained famous for 5 marla plots.
In my opinion Bahria phase 1 to 7 and safari valley is still good option for living purpose but not a good option for short term investment.
I agree with Saadi sab that Dha is Dha and we can't compare as investment point of view.

Nadeem bhai ye kya ho gaya! Saadi bhai ne 3 din ki bajaye 5 minutes mein bata diya. Oh wait he forgot to tell about A-J block! shaid woh teesre din batayen ge!
@Saadi. Well then that further reinforces the point doesn't it? What are the facilities available in N block so far (5 marla area) and what is the development status? Obviously None. I mean at this time you can actually buy a possession ready 10 marla plot in Bahria Phase 8 for 3 million! Then whose buying these undeveloped 5 marlas in DHA I wonder!
Don't get me wrong. I have no doubts about credibility or repute of DHA. I just think right now, the market prices have gotten a little ahead of themselves, in an otherwise very very slow market elsewhere and that just makes one wonder about what really is going on here. You may be right in your point of view, but I still see a minimum 5-10% correction, specially whenever Bahria's market is revived. However, for now, the game is on in DHA.
Dear Gurus,
Has anybody recently driven on DHA Express Way until the railway line?
Has it connected to phase 2 extension? Is there any railway station planned closed to phase 2 Q sector?
Regards
@ Awais sir..Sir no 10 marla for 3 million in phase 8 with possession..Possession plots of 10 marla starts from 4 mio approx in phase 8 and that too at bad locations. Good plots are plus.
Secondly sir you are ignoring a very important point and that is location..
Thirdly i welcome your points sir as healthy discussion leads to logical conclusions and helps many in taking their lifetime decisions. I just present my opinions and anybody has the right to disagree.
Awais saheb. I am really impressed with Saadi bhai's statements. Read carefully what he says. If you want to build straight away home and live than live where u think is comfortable. But if you want to buy and leave the land for few years the best option is DHA only. You might have read stories that somebody left the land unnoticed and after few years found that somebody else is sitting there or other scary situations. To avoid any such risk DHA is the most secured area to invest for longer period.
Regards.
Saadi I think you have been out of touch with Phase 8 market lately 
My cousin bought a 10 marla corner plot in H block for 34.5 lakhs in H block only last week! The fact is that general category possession plots can be bought in G block and I block for anywhere between 30-32 lakhs. Even in E block you can get a plot in mid 30s. In safari valley also you can snap up a bargain every now and then by getting a 7 marla in say Umer block for less than 30 lakhs. Phase 8 market is passing through a difficult phase for investors, but a terrific phase for genuine buyers.
@ Awais sir.Yes you are right about the rates of latter blocks but i dont think you campae the location of dha with those deep inside blocks and you know location pays you off at the end of the show.
@ Saadi bhai. I want to know how much approximately i can buy corner plot in Sector P .
Second, i want to know how is Sector N street 28 . I heard it is going to merge in sector P or Q. Please confirm.
I am coming to pakistan next week .

What is the potential of DHA 1 and 4 as compared to DHA-2? Islamabad.
Dear Pardesi sab,
In my opinion Dha phase2 is much better than Dha phase4.
Reason no1.Dha phase2 location is better than Dha phas4.
No2.Access of Dha phase2 is much better than Dha phase4.
No3.New expressway signal free will be advantage for Dha phase2.
Bahria phase7,Safari valley and phase8 possession area is much better than dha phase4.
Regards
I agree with Nadeem Sb. DHA 2 is still better than Dha 4 as the price delta/difference is not much. If DHA 4 was for 50-60 odd I might consider it good option but on a fairly close price it doesn't make sense.
After DHA 2 - potentially Bahria Phase 8 may be a bit better than DHA 4 as the price appreciation in DHA 4 should lift Bahria was well (essentially the same area) - with much better development.
