Pakistan property pricing in August 2026 reveals a clear hierarchy. Islamabad commands a premium of 26 to 300 percent over Lahore depending on the size band and sector, but at the entry-level 5-marla segment the two cities converge within 4 percent of each other.
This comparison draws from 1152 active listings across Islamabad and Lahore with verified prices and measured plot sizes. All sizes are normalised to marla. The data powers automatic landing pages on Jaydad - each sector, phase, and price bracket has a dedicated page updated in real time.
The practical takeaway for buyers: if your budget sits below 3 crore, both cities offer comparable 5-marla options in gated communities. Above that threshold Lahore delivers significantly more house per rupee - a 1-kanal home in DHA Lahore Phase 3 costs what a 10-marla in Islamabad DHA costs.
For investors: Islamabad plots at 18 lakh per marla are still below built-property rates (61 lakh/marla in DHA) suggesting room for development-margin plays. Lahore lacks meaningful plot inventory on this platform.
