Does Capital Smart City Investment Cause Losses? Plot Prices, Blocks and Timing Explained

your new home in Islamabad is waiting.....

Assalam-o-Alaikum, I am Malik Junaid from Gains Real Estate.

Today, we will discuss Capital Smart City as a complete overview. We will also look at its different blocks. This will be a slightly longer video, but we will try to have a detailed discussion. We will also compare plots of different sizes and examine which investment is currently more feasible, in which area, and in which sector.

As you already know, Capital Smart City has many different types of plots and many blocks. Therefore, when someone starts exploring it, they can become confused for a moment. Whenever anyone enters Smart City for the first time, they initially become slightly confused about what they should buy and what they should not buy.

One of the most common issues is that our clients sometimes purchase something that does not actually suit them. This happens because they see something different on the surface. Until they study it deeply, think about it properly, and conduct complete research, they may end up making the wrong decision.

The same investment that was supposed to benefit them and produce a good result can instead become a headache for them. They then say that their investment in this society was not good.

The point is not simply to invest in a society with your eyes closed. Allah Almighty has given you intelligence and understanding, so you should examine the property and make a decision based on what actually suits you.

Investment in Capital Smart City is technical. The most important thing is that before investing your money, you should work on the opportunity, examine it carefully, think about it, and complete your research. Once you do that, your future tension ends.

However, when you do the opposite—first purchasing the property and then thinking about what you should do with it—then obviously nothing can be done for you.

This is why we are here and providing our services. Whenever you face this type of problem, or you want to purchase something or invest somewhere, you can come to us and we will advise you.

Obviously, you will have to pay our charges and professional fee. That is one cost you will have to bear. However, the benefit is that many of the problems you could face later are resolved in advance.

You know that you have purchased a good property, and for all the years you continue holding it, you remain satisfied with it.

We have several clients who purchased properties that later turned out to be very good investments. When they purchase through us, they go through complete research and a complete process to determine that this is the property they need and this is the way they should purchase it.

When they complete the entire procedure before purchasing, they also earn profit, of course. They become so satisfied that they prolong the investment and continue holding the property for years.

At this time, we are facing the problem that no one wants to sell. Anyone who has a good property to sell should definitely contact us because we currently require plots.

The reason is that the properties we previously provided to our clients are no longer being offered for sale by them. They say that they want to hold them because, of course, the value of those properties is very good.

There will also be people who invested in Smart City but are now worried. We do not know their background, where they purchased from, how they purchased, or whether they simply went somewhere and purchased a property without proper research.

Capital Smart City contains so many properties, areas, and sectors that unless you meet an expert and ask questions, it is very difficult to understand everything.

Let me begin with 5 Marla plots. At this time, the best 5 Marla option is in Overseas East, Sector H.

Its price at the beginning was around PKR 2.5 million. I am talking about approximately two and a half to three years ago. After that, the rates increased, and the current situation is that the price of a 5 Marla plot has reached approximately PKR 3.4 to 3.5 million.

Even at PKR 3.4 to 3.5 million, a 5 Marla plot still makes sense at this time.

Last year, we advised most of our clients to purchase plots in this area. Unfortunately, there was not much purchasing at that time, and our clients also delayed their decisions.

Now you can see what has happened within one year. This is not only the situation with 5 Marla plots in Sector H. The same happened with 10 Marla plots.

Last year, a 10 Marla plot was trading at approximately PKR 5.5 to 5.6 million. I am talking about only one year ago. At present, the rate is PKR 7.5 million for a 10 Marla plot.

The price moved from PKR 5.5 million to PKR 6.5 million and then from PKR 6.5 million to PKR 7.5 million. This means that the price of a 10 Marla plot increased by approximately PKR 2 million.

People then say that they are no longer finding good opportunities and ask why we do not provide them with good opportunities.

We became tired of repeatedly telling them about these opportunities. Had you invested PKR 5.5 million in a 10 Marla plot one year ago, could you not have earned PKR 2 million today? Of course, you could have.

The important point is timing.

As I mentioned regarding 5 Marla plots, the price was around PKR 2.5 million, and the current situation is that you cannot easily find a good plot even for PKR 3.5 million in the same sector that you are currently seeing.

The point is that you must understand the opportunity at the right time. We could see that the number of plots available here was limited.

When the number of plots is limited and the property has worth, appearance, and all the necessary qualities, the opportunity makes sense.

We still have many pockets that appear attractive to us. We believe that properties should still be purchased in these areas because they may provide a good margin in the future.

That covers the 5 Marla and 10 Marla plots.

Now let us also discuss 7 Marla villas because we have to cover the villas alongside the plots.

The appreciation of villas has been greater than that of plots. A 10 Marla villa was priced at approximately PKR 14.3 million around five to six years ago.

After that, their availability did not return, and they were completely sold out.

The villas you can see behind me are 7 Marla villas located in Sector H. At present, they are available in approximately the PKR 15 million to PKR 26 million range.

However, only one or two options are available. We do not have a large number of them.

Behind this area is Sector I, which you can also see. Most of the properties there are commercial.

Overseas East basically has limited inventory. It does not have a very large amount of inventory. There are only a limited number of properties available, and you will see that the plots here will eventually be exhausted because there are not many plots available.

A considerable number of privately constructed houses have also been built here.

In Sector C, you can see these 10 Marla houses. These are not the only houses. Many more houses have also been constructed after them.

Even constructing only the structure has generated benefits. Even without completing anything else, people who constructed only the grey structure benefited.

Some of these people spent a higher amount on construction, and they may not even have had much knowledge about how to build properly.

I am specifically talking about Sector C. After constructing these houses, they have now benefited. Even if we calculate conservatively, they have earned approximately PKR 5 million in returns on their construction.

This is also an important factor. When you construct even a grey structure on a good plot at the right time, its value can later double. The money invested in it can double.

Let us move forward.

The entire area you can see here consists of 1 Kanal plots in Sector J.

Where did the price profile of 1 Kanal plots begin?

Around one year ago, offers were coming at approximately PKR 7.5 million, PKR 7.8 million, and PKR 8 million.

These plots experienced the highest increase.

Offers generally ranged from PKR 7 million to PKR 7.5 million or a maximum of PKR 8 million. A serious buyer might go up to PKR 8.5 million.

At the highest level, offers of around PKR 8.7 to 8.8 million were coming to us. There was no rate above this in the market.

I am talking about J Block. J and B were both in a similar situation.

As time passed—approximately one to one and a half years, moving from 2025 toward 2026—the situation changed.

The entire land you can see in J Block is solid land.

At present, these plots are being quoted at no less than approximately PKR 12.5 million.

You can calculate the increase yourself. There has been a minimum increase of approximately PKR 2.5 million here.

We also have a client whose video I will include later. We purchased a plot for him at PKR 9 million.

We completed that purchase approximately four to five months ago.

Within five months, the price moved from PKR 9 million, and we gave him an offer of PKR 11.5 million, but he did not accept it.

He is asking for around PKR 12 million to PKR 12.5 million.

The client is still firm above PKR 12 million, and discussions with him are continuing. We will see what he decides.

The point is that when you purchase a good and useful property, it gives you returns. Your money does not go to waste.

All the facilities in Overseas East are complete.

You can see this constructed house. Solar panels have also been installed on it, and the house is operating completely through these panels.

In this way, the property becomes an asset, and your overall savings also begin.

The asset continues to provide you with benefits, it continues to flourish, and its value continues moving positively.

This entire area is Overseas East, and this is Sector B of Overseas East.

Sectors B and J are located next to each other.

This is the Airplane Café. Although there is currently not much rush and many people do not come here, there are still some people living in this area.

The overall design of Overseas East is very good.

There is a park on the front side. There is a park on this side and another park on the other side, with a concentration of houses in the middle.

The area is beautifully designed.

The entire area you are seeing is Sector B, or Bravo Sector.

This entire section consists of 1 Kanal plots.

The line of villas is located alongside it, and Sector C begins behind those villas.

A 1 Kanal plot in B Block is still available for approximately PKR 12 million to PKR 12.5 million.

It is still a very good option, and purchasing a plot here continues to make sense.

However, after purchasing, you should construct on it and hold it.

As time continues moving forward, the available options will become limited.

When options become limited, it means that only fixed options will remain. You may be told that investment is possible only when you have a certain amount of money, and if you have less than that amount, investment will not be possible.

As I mentioned, the price of a 5 Marla plot in Overseas East has already reached approximately PKR 3.5 to 3.6 million.

These prices will obviously continue increasing with time.

In my assessment, the price of a 5 Marla plot may reach approximately PKR 4.5 million by next year.

Similarly, the 1 Kanal category may also move further upward.

This is my assessment. Allah knows best whether it will happen exactly like this or not.

We can only provide our assessment, and that is what we do.

I made the same assessment last year, and today you can see the current price situation.

This is a very beautiful area.

The villas you can see here include 1 Kanal villas and 10 Marla villas.

These are now all 10 Marla villas located in Sector C.

You previously saw the 1 Kanal properties behind us. From here onward, privately constructed houses also begin.

The concentration of 1 Kanal and 10 Marla properties is mainly within these sectors.

When you move further ahead, you will not find 1 Kanal or 10 Marla plots.

Sector C is the largest sector.

Alongside it are Sectors A and K, which also contain similar properties. We will visit that side as well.

We are currently approaching from the same side where Sectors A and K are located.

Sector C is one of the best options for 10 Marla properties.

Sector C ends around this point, and Sector D, or Delta Sector, begins behind it.

Delta Sector also contains villas.

The villas you can see ahead are all 5 Marla villas, and they are completely constructed.

These 5 Marla villas are also available, and we have availability in this category.

Their current rate is approximately PKR 10 million, which is still a very good rate.

A completely finished, ready-made 5 Marla villa available for approximately PKR 10 million offers good value.

The current demand may be around PKR 16 million to PKR 16.5 million, but we expect some negotiation may be possible and that the client may agree around the lower level.

For someone who does not want to deal with the complications of purchasing a plot and then constructing on it, a ready-made 5 Marla villa provides very good value and worth.

You can easily consider that option.

We also visited this particular house from the inside.

It has been constructed beautifully and designed very well.

A considerable amount of time was spent on it, and after that it reached its present condition and setting.
