Welcome to our latest blog post where we delve into the world of Karachi real estate, armed with data and statistics. We’ve sifted through thousands of property listings, crunched the numbers, and are here to present an engaging, number-oriented analysis of the property market. So, let’s get started!

The Data Landscape

Our data set comprises a whopping 16,849 properties spread across a diverse range of locations. Each property listing includes details such as the price, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and the area in square yards.

Location: A Tale of Two Cities

Let’s take two locations as an example: ‘Bahria Town Karachi’ and ‘Askari 5’. The average property price in Bahria Town Karachi is around 4.2 million PKR, while in Askari 5, it’s around 37.5 million PKR. This stark contrast in prices underscores the importance of location in the real estate market.

Size: The Bigger, The Better?

On average, properties in our dataset have around 3.6 bedrooms and 3.7 bathrooms. However, this varies significantly across locations. For instance, properties in ‘Bahria Paradise’ average around 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, while those in ‘Bahria Town – Precinct 17’ average around 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. That’s a 150% difference in the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, which can significantly impact the price and appeal of a property.

Market Activity: The Busier, The Better?

When we look at market activity, we see that some locations have a higher number of properties listed for sale. For example, ‘Bahria Town Karachi’ has over 1,000 properties listed, while ‘Askari 5’ has just over 100. This could indicate a more active and liquid market in Bahria Town Karachi, which could be advantageous for both buyers (more choices) and sellers (more potential buyers).

Karachi Property Prices

When it comes to property prices, our data reveals a wide spectrum. On the lower end, we have properties priced around 700,000, while on the higher end, we see properties going for as much as 400 million.

Let’s take a closer look at some locations. In ‘DHA Defence’, an area that is controlled by the Defence Housing Authority, the average property price is around 35 million PKR. On the other hand, in ‘Gulshan-e-Iqbal Town’, another well-known residential area, the average property price is significantly lower, around 15 million PKR. That’s less than half the price of properties in DHA Defence. This could be because of the relative safety and security in the DHA area compared to Gulshan and other parts of the city, with rangers frequently patrolling DHA phases. This variation in prices can also be attributed to several factors such as the location’s reputation, proximity to amenities, property size, and the overall demand and supply dynamics in the area.

Conclusion

Whether you’re a potential buyer, seller or investor, understanding these trends and figures can help you navigate the market more effectively. Stay tuned for more data-driven insights in our future blog posts. Happy house hunting!
