After the pandemic, Pakistan’s short-term rental market saw a sudden boom, reshaping how both travellers and investors approached real estate. Airbnb’s quiet entry into the country’s real estate market quickly gained momentum, surprising many with its rapid uptake.
Instead of settling for the predictable comfort of a hotel, guests arriving from distant cities and far-off countries embraced the freedom and authenticity of vacation rentals. This shift not only granted them more personal, culturally immersive experiences but also allowed property owners to earn stable, dollar-linked income on their investments—turning a simple apartment or house into a gateway of hospitality and profit.
Taking note of this development, we at One Homes introduced Trinity One—an exclusive collection of state-of-the-art smart homes in Pakistan. Designed with overseas Pakistanis in mind, these luxury residences are more than a prestigious address; they’re a wise investment. Backed by our full-service short-term rental management, you can relax while your apartment earns a stable, dollar-linked income, giving you peace of mind and a meaningful connection to your homeland.
A Growing Short-Term Rental Market
The short-term rental market in Pakistan is on an undeniable upswing. AirDNA, a trusted short-term rental data analytics, reflected a positive outlook on Pakistan’s market, highlighting a new era in the country.
Key Highlights from AirDNA’s Report:
The market score of Pakistan’s short-term rentals stands at over 70.
Listings across the country surged by 128% in 2 years.
Islamabad alone saw a 148% year-on-year growth, reaching over 1,300 listings.
This growth also represents an extraordinary opportunity for overseas Pakistanis. With local currency pricing on platforms like Airbnb, more domestic travellers are booking these properties, ensuring your place is never far from interested visitors.
More Than Just a Place to Stay
For guests, short-term rentals offer something unique: a choice. Whether someone wants the vibrancy of the city centre or the tranquillity of a distant neighbourhood, there’s a home that fits their mood. They’re not restricted by hotel districts or standardised interiors. Instead, they can select a space that feels personal. For a visiting overseas Pakistani family, staying in a short-term rental doesn’t just mean more room—it can mean a kitchen filled with local spices and neighbours who speak their mother tongue. It’s a chance to reconnect, even if briefly, with a sense of belonging that is hard to find in impersonal accommodations.
As an owner, watching your property become part of someone’s journey home is deeply gratifying. You’re offering travellers not just a roof over their heads, but a genuine slice of Pakistani life. And as the rental market matures, the annual returns—currently averaging around $3.6K per year—are poised to grow, even as occupancy rates and booking frequency rise.

It’s not just a financial decision; it’s about trust, heritage, and the feeling that you’ve created something lasting back home.
