How to Read the Market Report

One page a month that says what the whole DHA Lahore market did — built from our own live listings and our own field survey, not from anybody else’s guess.

1. Open Market Report from the top menu, or go to /market-report.
2. The dark masthead names the month and the report number.
3. Under it: how many live listings the month was built from.
4. Everything below is worked out from those listings the moment you open the page — nothing is typed in by hand.

A report is only worth as much as its date. Three of them sit right under the title.

1. Last updated — the date and time the figures on this page were worked out.
2. Next report — the first of next month, when the new one appears.
3. Report archive — press it to read any earlier month.
4. Each month is kept for ever. Nothing is overwritten, so you can always compare last month with this one.

Three buttons sit in the masthead. One works today and it is the most useful of the three.

1. Open data (CSV) — press it and the whole month of figures downloads as a spreadsheet file.
2. Open it in Excel or Google Sheets and work on it yourself; it is free and nothing is asked of you.
3. Download PDF report and Subscribe — monthly email are marked Coming Soon; they are not built yet.
4. The PDF, when it comes, will be free in exchange for an email address.

A dark strip runs across the bottom of the masthead with a star. It carries the figure that makes this report different from every other rate list in Pakistan.

1. It reads, for example: ★ 3,282 listings (28%) matched against the DHA record.
2. That means: for those listings we found the plot number in DHA’s own record and checked the size against it.
3. The percentage matters more than the count — it tells you how much of this report stands on the record rather than on a dealer’s word.
4. Wherever the dealer’s size clashes with the record, the site shows the record’s size and says so openly.

The first tile, and the one that tells you whether the rest of the page is worth reading.

1. The big number is every live listing the report is built from.
2. Under it, in green: how many of those were updated in the last 24 hours.
3. A big total with a tiny 24-hour figure means a quiet market; a high 24-hour figure means the market is moving today.
4. Every other figure on this page is worked out from this same set of listings.

Two tiles that together tell you how much fresh stock came in, and how many people are working the market.

1. New this week — listings that came into the market in the last 7 days.
2. Active dealers — how many different dealers have live listings right now.
3. Divide one by the other and you know whether stock is coming from everybody or from a few busy offices.
4. That division is done for you further down, in the Supply section.

The single most useful figure in the whole report. It is what lets you put a 5 marla plot and a 2 kanal plot on the same scale.

1. The tile reads, for example, 26 lakh — that is the middle rate per marla across the whole of DHA.
2. It is size-adjusted: worked out so that a handful of very large plots cannot drag the figure up.
3. Use it as your yardstick — anything far below it is worth a second look, anything far above needs a reason.
4. Each phase has its own per-marla rate in the table below; this tile is all of DHA together.

One number out of 100 that sums up whether the market is hot, balanced or slow. It is worked out from how much is moving, not from anybody’s opinion.

1. The last tile reads a number out of 100 with one word under it.
2. 60 and above — Seller’s market: stock is moving, sellers have the upper hand.
3. 40 to 59 — Balanced: neither side has the advantage.
4. Under 40 — Slow: listings sit longer, there is room to bargain.
5. It is built from fresh listings, how many were updated, and how fast new stock arrives.

The tables use four words over and over. Learn them once and every figure below opens up.

1. They appear as column headings in the phase table — this is what each one means.

A single line that will show whether DHA as a whole got dearer or cheaper. It is the only section whose chart is still waiting.

1. The base is set: September 2026 = 100. Every later month is measured against it.
2. A daily snapshot of the whole market has been kept since 12 September 2026 — the record is already building.
3. The chart draws itself the moment the first full month of snapshots is complete.
4. Three chips above it — Price, Price / marla, Index value — will switch what the line shows.

Every phase of DHA on one grid, ranked. If you read only one thing on this page, read this.

1. Each row is a phase: how many listings, the median price, the average, the 25% and 75% marks, the cheapest, the rate per marla, and how many are verified.
2. Rows are ranked by how many listings a phase has — the busiest phase first, not the dearest.
3. The MoM column and the ▲▼ marks show movement from last month — they begin the moment there are two months to compare.
4. Press any row to open that phase’s live listings.
5. The line under the table gives the size-adjusted median for all of DHA together.

The same phase rates drawn as colour, so you can see the shape of the market instead of reading numbers.

1. Each phase is filled by its rate per marla: the deeper the green, the dearer.
2. Pale sand colour means the cheapest end of DHA.
3. Four chips sit above it — Rate / marla works today; change %, demand and new supply are Coming Soon.
4. For the plot-by-plot map, press Open the Plot Finder underneath.

A 5 marla plot and a 1 kanal plot in the same phase are two different markets. This grid keeps them apart.

1. Rows are sizes, columns are phases; each box is the median asking price for that size in that phase.
2. A box only appears when there are at least three clean listings behind it.
3. Press a box to open those listings; press a size name to open that size’s own rate page.
4. Chips above switch between Residential Plots, Homes, Commercial and Files.
5. Corner, possession and pair chips show how many exist — they become filters later.

Six tiles about what is on the market. Two are live today; four wait on sold data.

1. Listings per dealer — the total divided by the number of active dealers.
2. New listings (7 days) — fresh stock that arrived this week.
3. Months of supply, Withdrawn, Supply Index and Supply on the way are faded with a Coming Soon mark.
4. Those four all need one thing: a record of what actually sold. Once sold-marks go in, they fill themselves.

Not a guess about demand — the real requirements dealers and buyers have posted on our own board.

1. The line above says how many real buyer requirements are on record.
2. Below, they are broken down by phase — which phase people are asking about most.
3. Press requirements page to read them all, or to post your own.
4. Posting is free and needs no name — only what you want and a way to reach you.

How fast things sell, how long they sit, how far the price moved between asking and closing. All of it needs one thing we do not have yet.

1. The whole section is shown faded with Coming Soon.
2. It needs sold data — a record of what actually closed, at what price, after how many days.
3. In this market that information is not public, so we are building it ourselves through our own confirmed deals.
4. The design is finished. The moment enough sold-marks are in, this section fills itself with no further work.

The section that explains the claim in the masthead, in plain words.

1. It repeats the count and the percentage matched against the DHA record.
2. It states the rule: DHA’s map record is final — a dealer’s claim never beats the record.
3. Where the two clash, the site shows the record’s size and says openly that the agent wrote something else.
4. Press /rules to read the full written rules.

Two short lists that tell you where the money is and where the movement is — and they are not the same blocks.

1. Dearest blocks — ranked by rate per marla, not by total price.
2. Busiest blocks — where the most listings are, which usually means where the most trading happens.
3. Press any block to open that block’s own guide page.
4. Fastest risers and fallers is marked Coming Soon — it needs two months to compare.

The last three sections are doorways out of the report to the places where you actually work.

1. Tools — the Plot Finder map and the calculators are live; an instant price estimate, plot tracking, alerts and phase comparison are Coming Soon.
2. Reports — a weekly flash, a two-page summary, the monthly PDF and a yearly book, all Coming Soon.
3. Every phase and size has its own rate page — chips that take you straight to file rates, homes, cheapest plots, corner plots, agents and the map.
4. Anything without a Coming Soon mark works today.

The method section, kept short on the page and honest about its own limits.

1. Live dealer listings from WhatsApp groups and the portals, cleaned and de-duplicated every day.
2. Our own field survey of DHA Lahore — walked on foot, block by block.
3. DHA’s own plot record, used to check every plot number and size we can match.
4. If the method ever changes, it will be written here — a revision log, not a silent edit.
