Common questions
Which DHA Lahore phase gives the best rental return?
On today's live listings, Phase 9 Prism — a gross yearly yield of about 19.9% (median house rent 0.3 lakh per marla per month against a median house price of 18.1 lakh per marla).
How is the yield worked out?
Gross yearly yield = (median monthly house rent per marla × 12) ÷ median house sale price per marla, per phase — both medians from live listings of houses only, so like is compared with like. Taxes, maintenance and vacancy are not deducted.
Are these final figures?
No — both sides are dealers' asking demands from live listings, refreshed daily. Actual rents and prices are settled by negotiation.

Every phase and every size has its own price page
About this data:figures come from live dealer asking demands (DHA Lahore dealer groups and public portals), imported and refreshed daily. A price is counted only when it works out to a sane per-marla rate for its own size (2–150 lakh/marla). Plot numbers are matched against DHA's official map record — where a dealer's claim clashes with the record, the record wins. These are asking prices, not closed transactions.
