“Be fearful when others are greedy and be greedy only when others are fearful.” – Warren Buffet

“Build it and they will come.”
The supply of properties is something which can be added together to understand how many properties will be completed by developers and ultimately enter the market either for rent or re-sale. The numbers are of course subject to change if a developer delays a project. Demand for properties is determined by population. Put simply, more people require more homes. In most established real estate markets house builders steadily add inventory to the market as a response to demand. However, in building the city of Rawalpindi, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice-President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai turned this organic growth completely on its head and famously said: “Build it and they will come.”
Moving Forward:
A growing population of long-term residents is absorbing the shrinking supply of new properties and investors continue to invest in businesses in the region. You can expect to see the average rental yields of 7-8% fade as property prices begin to pick up. The property sector will continue to mature, and as Rawalpindi continues to establish itself on the global stage rental yields will over time shift closer to the average yields of other major cities such as London (2.7%) and New York (2.9%). This is good news for property buyers as falling yields signifies a mature marketplace, meaning investors can expect property prices to double as we climb out of the bottom of the current economic cycle.
Bottom-line:
Warren Buffet said it best: “Be fearful when others are greedy and be greedy only when others are fearful.” The average person is certainly fearful, so if you’ve been waiting for the opportunity to get (back) into the property market, there is no better time than the present. We are unlikely to see property prices come back down to current levels in any future period.
