Value of a home

Earlier, if someone had to analyse the market rate of any property, they had to personally visit either the locality or a local estate agent to get help and know more about the market trends. But the smartest property portal of Pakistan- Graana.com offers a smart area page – AIRA which makes it easier for anyone and everyone to get to know more about any area and search the facilities and services offered by each area.

However, due to significant varying factors present, one must always personally visit the area or an agent to determine the value of the houses in any neighbourhood. This helps in getting a better understanding of how and why the price trends of an area are set, along with different architectural styles and nearby amenities that add up to the values of houses to differ. This is an added factor as to why the real estate trends vary from area to area and in different housing schemes.

 

Nearby amenities available

Are there any schools or offices nearby where you live?

How far would you have to travel to access the hospital or markets?

In the case of travelling outside the cities, is motorway or other means to travel like the distance from the airport or train station and bus stops, too far?

These are some of the questions that almost everyone asks while buying, selling or renting a home and want to find the answer to. If all the necessary amenities like schools, hospitals or markets along with entertainment places are nearby and easily accessible, the vicinity is set to have a higher tax than those areas that may not entertain such facilities. This factor also adds up to the variations in trends in real estate markets.

 

Appreciation Rates

Last but not least, the appreciation rate also plays a vital role in determining the real estate markets to differ from one another.

Many of you may be wondering about what exactly is an appreciation rate?

An appreciation rate is an increase in the value of an asset over time. The increase can occur due to various reasons, which may include increased demand or weakened supply. It may be a result of changes in inflation or interest rates over time.

So, to determine as to why real estate markets contrast from one another, the appreciation rate also plays an important role. Some real estate markets have an average appreciation rate of 3% while others could have an average appreciation rate of 1%. When converted in money, such rates convert to be worth hundreds of thousands of rupees or more. It all depends on how much potential a locality has to grow over a course of time.

So the next time you wonder why every real estate market is different may be miles apart or cities afar, these are some of the reasons.
