Written by Saliha Aziz | Sep 16, 2024 11:53:48 AM

The real estate market in Pakistan is growing rapidly, and with its attractive luxury offerings, many overseas investors are looking at Pakistan as their next big investment opportunity. One Homes, a leading real estate developer, provides opportunities exclusively for overseas investors to capitalise on Pakistan’s real estate market. 

For those wondering whether foreigners can buy property in Pakistan, the answer is yes, and this blog outlines the key points, benefits, and growth potential in the country’s thriving real estate market.


Why Pakistan’s Real Estate Market Is Thriving

Pakistan's real estate market is projected to reach an impressive value of US$1.98 trillion in 2024, with the residential real estate sector accounting for US$1.28 trillion of that. With a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.01% from 2024 to 2029, the market is expected to reach US$2.41 trillion by 2029. This remarkable growth is driven by increasing demand for luxury apartments in major cities like Islamabad, Lahore, and Gwadar.

For foreign investors, the appeal of investing in Pakistan’s property market lies not only in the potential for high returns but also in the stability offered by real estate as an asset class. 


Islamabad: A Hub for High-End Property Investment

Islamabad, home to high-end developments like Amaya Panoramas and Trinity One, has experienced consistent capital appreciation, particularly in the luxury sector. High-end properties in secure gated communities have seen annual capital growth of up to 15%, attracting significant interest from overseas Pakistanis and high-net-worth individuals seeking investment opportunities that offer both capital growth and rental income potential.

Islamabad’s real estate market also benefits from stable rental yields, ranging between 3-5%, with luxury properties such as those by One Homes offering even higher returns. The city’s appeal lies in its secure living environments, world-class amenities, and a growing demand from expatriates and affluent locals.


Gwadar: The Next Big Investment Frontier

Another key city for property investment is Gwadar, where significant infrastructure developments driven by the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) have sparked interest among international investors. Properties in Gwadar are forecasted to see exponential growth, with One Homes poised to offer exclusive opportunities in this burgeoning market.

With a prime location near the Arabian Sea, Gwadar’s real estate sector is experiencing rapid capital appreciation, particularly in luxury waterfront developments. This makes it an attractive option for long-term investment strategies aimed at high returns.
