Overall Impact on Real Estate Business in 1st Month of PTI Government.

It is quiet early to say anything about the real estate business in newly elected government in Pakistan. But we can figure out few aspects of real estate business in Pakistan in next five years. As per part of the manifesto of PTI, they are going to build five million (50 Lacs) houses in Pakistan in their tenure. In this regard, Prime Minister Imran Khan conducted a meeting with a real estate tycoon british Pakistani Aneel Mussarat along with other experts. Although a portion of national media is making this meeting controversial but on the positive side it is showing the seriousness of Prime Minister.

According to the Pakistan Bureau of statistics, every year country faces 1.2 million houses shortage. It’s a big number of residential units which is enough to keep moving real estate industry in Pakistan. We can find certain factors quickly like massive increase in population over the past few years, migration from rural to urban areas. Broken joint family culture etc.

If PTI government gets succeed and build 5 million houses, real estate business will flourish indeed.
