Real Estate Market in Pakistan October 2024

Real Estate Market in Pakistan October 2024

The real estate sector in Pakistan has a dynamic and significant role in the economy of the country. The real estate market is influenced by various factors. The real estate market is potentially influenced by interest rates for its performance and growth. The real estate market in Pakistan during 2024 navigated with challenges due to the economic landscape, fluctuating interest rates and pressures of inflation.

Real Estate Market in Pakistan October 2024

As we know political instability led Pakistan to economic instability and inflation. Due to economic instability Pakistani currency became devalued and the rate of the dollar rose. The inflation rate was about 32 % in 2023. Due to an increase in the inflation rate interest rate became high about 22 %. In all these situations, the banking sector was growing fast. Many investors were investing in the banking sector instead of the real estate sector. Because an investor was getting 20 lacs per annum profit on 1 crore without any hassle.

Now this new government has taken steps for the stability of the economy.  It is the latest news that the IMF is providing a $7 billion bailout package for Pakistan. Although this grant comes with strict conditions. IMF predicts that the economy of Pakistan (GDP) will be 3.2% for the FY25 which was 2.4% last year.

The impact of high interest rates was felt across the entire property market, causing a drop in demand for residential properties, slower project developments, and reduced investment activity. The SBP made the strategic decision to lower interest rates by 200 basis points to 17.5 %, a third straight reduction since June.it is expected that the interest rate will be low to the one digit. It is hoping to revive the economy and stimulate growth in key sectors, including real estate. Due to the low interest rate now, investors will bring out investment in the economy and investment will circulate in different industries linked with real estate.

Interest Rate Reduction Benefits in the Real Estate Market

The reduction in interest rates is expected to have several immediate and long-term effects on the real estate market in Pakistan.

Increased Affordability for investors

The lower interest rates mean that mortgages become more affordable. Many middle-class families were priced out of the housing market due to high monthly payments on loans. Families can now consider purchasing homes with lower borrowing costs, which is expected to increase the demand for residential properties. Developers are hoping for a rise in inquiries and sales as potential buyers take advantage of more favorable lending terms.

Revival of Developer Activity

The interest rate cut is a welcome development for developers. The high cost of financing projects during the period of elevated interest rates caused many developers to delay new construction or scale back ongoing developments. Now, developers can feel more confident in taking on new projects with lower interest in the residential and commercial sectors. It will also have a positive effect on the broader economy by generating jobs and increasing demand for construction materials like cement and steel.

Increase in Investor Confidence

Real estate investors who are engaged in buying and selling of property, often rely on bank loans to finance their purchases. With lower interest rates real estate investments are more attractive again. Investors will re-enter the market, like urban centers and commercial zones.

Increased investor activity will also help improve liquidity in the market. The properties that had been sitting unsold during the period of high interest rates are more likely to be purchased. This could help stabilize and increase property prices.

Commercial Real Estate Market

The commercial real estate sector including office spaces, retail shops, and industrial plots, was also affected by high interest rates. Businesses that rely on bank loans to finance the purchase or expansion of commercial properties have been holding off due to the high interest rates. Due to the reduction in interest rates, more businesses may now be able to afford to expand their work leading to increased demand for commercial properties.

Considering these factors, it can be an investment that delivers unmatched dividends and is a golden opportunity. Pakistan Property Services has a huge inventory of this project.

The reduction in interest rates in October 2024 marks a positive turn for Pakistan’s real estate market. Lower interest rates can improve affordability for homebuyers, stimulate developer activity, and boost investors.
