In many major societies across Pakistan, 5 marla houses are considered more affordable and liquid. However, we’re seeing cases where 10 marla houses are selling faster in certain blocks. What factors could be influencing this shift — buyer psychology, construction quality, plot dimensions, or investor behavior?

In my opinion, serious end-users with stable income prefer 10 marla because it offers better space planning and resale value. 5 marla often attracts short-term investors, which increases supply and reduces urgency.

A lot of 5 marla houses are built purely for flipping. 10 marla homes are usually owner-built, so finishing quality and layout planning tend to be better.
