Murree Tehsil Background

Murree is a tehsil of Rawalpindi District. It falls under Punjab jurisdiction. Murree is an old town initially discovered and developed during the British Raj, who used to move to Murree during the scorching heat in Summers.

It is rapidly increasing in population. Currently there are about 250,000 local residents in the main Murree Tehsil that includes 15 union councils.

On average, Murree attracts huge number of tourists every year almost 25000 tourists every month and 300,000 every year.

Although the main peak season is during the summers, but the benefit of Murree is that it is open throughout the year in every season including extreme winter months of December and January.

Many tourists come to see the snow falling during winters and enjoy the extreme cold weather as well.

The Murree Mountain resort was first discovered in 1851 by Major James Abbot and then was gradually developed later. It remained the Summer Headquarters of the British Raj till 1875 and then later shifted to Shimla.

Early developments in Murree included the Church, Lawrence College, Convent of Jesus and Mary, Military Hospital and the famous Mall Road for commercial market.

After the independence in 1947, Murree remained the attractive, popular and easily accessible mountain resort especially in the Punjab Province.

Investment in Murree Resorts

It makes perfect sense to invest in Murree and its surrounding areas. The Main Murree and its surroundings are considered stable and well established hill station, and is open all year around.

Murree Resorts housing society is not in the main Murree. It is off Murree and in the outskirts area of Angoori Road, but that is the reason it provides excellent attractive pricing to buy and lock the deals.

In real estate it is also about timing. Those who invested in the DHA, or Bahria Town some 20+ years ago, when there were no roads and infrastructures, they have now become millionaires with the continuous rise in the property value.

The prime location areas usually reach their peak soon and then due to scarcity, it gets hard to find the place with attractive pricing. That is equivalent of saturation point.

Blindly following the herd mentality sometimes becomes counterproductive.

If you keep on investing at the same prime place with high prices, there may be high probability to lose some money in the future.

On the other hand, if you invest in some areas which have futuristic growth potential but are relatively cheaper and inexpensive to invest that may be wiser way to adopt in real estate investments and to keep the portfolio diversified.

Another positive side of the real estate investments is that when you invest to buy a land or a plot, as compared to investing in other businesses like restaurant, setting a factory/manufacturing units etc. whatever you will invest and incur the cost, you may not lose.

In other businesses, it is not like that, just as an example, in your restaurant business, if it does not run well, you may lose what you had invested.

Real Estate is very much real. The investment does not evaporate and does not disappear. If the prices go up or down, you are still holding an asset and piece of land. The only difference is that the project in which you are investing should be valid and credible. For that you just need to do some due diligence about the developer and status of the land possession.

Considering the above, it overall seems worthwhile to invest and purchase some plots or a single plot, in Murree Resorts since the developer is credible (MAC Builders) and they are doing a good job by actually providing all the initial and basic infrastructure to immediately build the house. And most importantly, the plots are ready for possession to build your house.

It is important to note that overall area is rising, the development in the surrounding areas are happening and it is just a matter of time that the prices will further start escalating.

As per the past comparison, in just two years the prices in the Murree Resorts have increased 40%.

It is an impressive appreciation in real estate. This shows the level of the previous growth and based on that it can be also fairly predicted about the future growth pattern, since it still has not touched its ceiling and is on upward growth trajectory and has a long way to go up in the future.

According to the real estate dynamics, this usually is considered one of the best times to invest and enter in the market.

Purpose of Buying

Every Individual is different and has different aspirations, dreams, and objectives. You may have different budgets and purposes to invest and build your property.

Although these purposes may differ from person to person but a few ideas are presented for your investment in Murree Resorts …

You can either just buy the plot and keep it for future to construct it later.
You can construct your own vacation home or getaway place during summers or winters or any other season.
You can lease or rent it out on monthly basis.
You can convert into a holiday cottage for daily rentals and start earning good revenue from it.
You can also do the mix of both, use it for yourself and also rent it out as a holiday vacation resort.

Whatever the purpose, investment in Murree Resorts seemingly is a win-win option, since main Murree is now overcrowded and heavily populated, therefore logically and naturally it has to expand to other adjoining areas.

That is one of the reasons when Patriata was developed about 15 km away from the main Murree it was called New Murree. Angoori Road and the surrounding areas are now part of the New Murree.

Property Management Services

The MAC Builders can also provide you many services related to property management that includes the upkeep of the house/ cottage, its maintenance, and also leasing out.

And in case if you would want to sell it in the future, they can also assist and facilitate you to do that.
