The Real Estate sector is an emerging sector in Pakistan which is growing at a fast pace and contributing a lot to the economy of Pakistan. With many new societies appearing regularly, the real estate business is growing vastly.

In the past, real estate management has been different to what it may be soon. With involvement of so many real estate agents and parties, it has been hard to keep a check and balance from the government’s side. Often the sector has been accused of financing terrorism, money laundering and other such activities.

In a recent and important development, the government of Pakistan will ask real estate agents to not only check but also share the credentials of people buying and selling property in Pakistan with the FBR.

To prevent terrorists from easily buying property in Pakistan as well as adhering to the conditions of FATF in accordance with the UNSC resolutions, it will soon be compulsory to share the information of all buyers.

نیا مطالعہ

کم آمدنی والے مکانات میں سرمایہ کاری پاکستان کو “بڑے پیمانے پر” معاشی فوائد فراہم کرے گی ، کارانداز پاکستان کی طرف سے شائع کردہ اور برطانیہ حکومت کے محکمہ برائے بین الاقوامی ترقی (ڈی ایف آئی ڈی) کی مالی معاونت کے مطابق۔ نیا مطالعہ ، ‘پاکستان میں بلڈر فنانس کو بڑھانا’ ، اسلام آباد میں میریٹ ہوٹل میں ایک تقریب کے دوران شروع کیا گیا۔ اس مطالعے کے ساتھ ، کارانداز پاکستان کا مقصد پاکستان کو زیادہ سستی رہائش کی تعمیر کے وسیع فوائد دکھانا ہے ، لیکن چھوٹے اور درمیانے درجے کے کاروباری اداروں (SMEs) کے کاروبار کو فروغ دینے میں بھی مدد کرتا ہے جو گھر کی تعمیر پر کام کرتے ہیں۔

مطالعہ کا تخمینہ ہے کہ ہر سال ایک لاکھ مزید گھروں کی تعمیر سے معاشی ترقی کے ساتھ ساتھ روزگار کے مواقع بھی بڑھیں گے۔ مطالعے کے مطابق پاکستان کی معیشت کو بڑے پیمانے پر فائدہ ہوگا اگر سستی رہائش میں اضافہ کیا جائے۔ اس کو حاصل کرنے کے لیے ، بلڈرز کے لیے ریگولیٹری ماحول میں بہتری لائی جائے اور بینکوں کو رہن اور بلڈر فنانسنگ کے لیے کافی مراعات دی جائیں۔ مطالعہ کارانداز میں حاصل کیا جاسکتا ہے۔

برطانیہ کے محکمہ برائے بین الاقوامی ترقی (ڈی ایف آئی ڈی) پاکستان کی سربراہ جوانا ریڈ نے تقریب میں کہا:

“صرف امیر ترین کمپنیاں ہی لوگوں کے امیر ترین افراد کے لیے گھر بنانے کا متحمل ہو سکتی ہیں۔ پاکستان کو فنانسنگ میکانزم کی ضرورت ہے تاکہ یہ یقینی بنایا جا سکے کہ ہر ایک کے سر پر چھت ہو۔

:اس موقع پر خطاب کرتے ہوئے ، سی ای او کارانداز ، مسٹر علی سرفراز نے کہا

“یہ ضروری ہے کہ اس طرح کے مباحثوں کو ایک پلیٹ فارم دیا جائے اور کنسٹرکشن اور بینکنگ کمیونٹی کے دونوں کھلاڑیوں کو اکٹھا کیا جائے اور فنانس تک رسائی کے چیلنجز پر بات چیت کی جائے خاص طور پر چھوٹے اور درمیانے درجے کے بلڈرز اور ڈویلپرز کے لیے ، حل کیا جا سکتا ہے۔ ہم امید کرتے ہیں کہ مطالعہ کارانداز نے مالیاتی شعبے سے تعلق رکھنے والے ممبران کو حوصلہ افزائی کی ہے کہ وہ مالیاتی مصنوعات کو ایس ایم ای بلڈرز اور ڈویلپرز کی ضروریات اور اثاثہ جات کے مطابق بہتر بنانے کے لیے اقدامات کریں اور اس طرح پاکستان میں ہر ایک کے لیے سستی رہائش کی دستیابی کو متحرک کریں۔اس تقریب میں حکومت کے نمائندوں کے ساتھ ساتھ بینکنگ اور بلڈنگ سیکٹرز کے نمائندوں نے بھی خوب شرکت کی۔ مسٹر زیغم محمود رضوی ، چیئرمین ہاؤسنگ سے متعلق ٹاسک فورس نے بھی تقریب میں شرکت کی اور کہا:

اقوام متحدہ کے رہائش گاہ کے مطابق ، آدھی سے زیادہ انسانیت اب شہروں میں رہتی ہے اور 2050 تک چار میں سے تین افراد شہری علاقوں میں رہ رہے ہوں گے۔ ایشیا پیسفک کے بیشتر شہروں میں یہ بڑے پیمانے پر شہری آبادی ممبئی ، کلکتہ ، کراچی ، منیلا ، ڈھاکہ وغیرہ جیسے بڑے بڑے شہروں میں چیلنجز پیدا کر رہی ہے۔ غیر مہذب رہائشاس سے شہروں میں پہلے سے موجود شہری رہائشی قلت میں مزید اضافہ ہورہا ہے ، یہ تقریبا تمام معاشرے کے معاشی طور پر کمزور طبقات ہیں۔

مزید انہوں نے مزید کہا ، “ہاؤسنگ کے اسٹیک ہولڈرز ، یعنی ڈویلپر ، منصوبہ ساز ، حکومتیں ، مالیاتی اور ریگولیٹری ایجنسیاں سب کو سستی رہائش کے چیلنجوں سے نمٹنے کے لیے مصروف رہنے کی ضرورت ہے ، دونوں اس کی سپلائی سائیڈ اور فنانس سائیڈ پیرامیٹرز سے۔سپلائی سائیڈ کے کھلاڑیوں ، بنیادی طور پر ڈویلپرز/بلڈرز کو سستی رہائش کے اس چیلنج سے نمٹنے کے لیے مصروف رہنے کی ضرورت ہے۔ اس کے نتیجے میں ، معیشت کو فروغ ملے گا ، اور روزگار کے مواقع پیدا ہوں گے۔ ہاؤسنگ اور رئیل اسٹیٹ کا شعبہ تقریبا 42 تعمیراتی مواد کی صنعتوں سے براہ راست منسلک ہے اور بہت زیادہ شرح سے ملازمتیں پیدا کرتا ہے۔ریاست اور نجی شعبے کو کارنداز جیسے پلیٹ فارم کی کوششوں کی تعریف اور حمایت کے لیے آگے آنا چاہیے۔

مصنف مسٹر علی خضر کی ایک پریزنٹیشن کے بعد ، اس موضوع پر ایک مباحثہ ایک پینل پر مشتمل تھا: مسٹر حسن بخشی ، چیئرمین ایسوسی ایشن آف بلڈرز اینڈ ڈویلپرز (ABAD) ، مسٹر محمد رضا سعید ، ہیڈ ہاؤسنگ فنانس (اسلامی) HBL میں مسٹر نوید گورایا ، سی آئی او کارنداز پاکستان مسٹر جاوید اسلم ، سی ای او اور بانی انصار مینجمنٹ کمپنی اور گروپ ہیڈ مسٹر فیصل مراد۔ہاؤسنگ بلڈنگ فنانس کمپنی (HBFC) سے بحث میں موجودہ ریگولیٹری ماحول میں بہتری کی ضرورت پر روشنی ڈالی گئی ، اور عوامل جیسے پراپرٹی کی قیمتوں میں اضافہ ، تعمیراتی سامان کی بڑھتی ہوئی لاگت ، ایس ایم ای بلڈر کمیونٹی میں دستاویزات کی کمی اور باضابطہ فنانسنگ تک رسائی میں رکاوٹ کے طور پر ضمانت کی عدم موجودگی۔

Creativity

Coming up with creative, eye-catching and unique content is important as it keeps your customers interested. This will not only keep your customers informed but they will spread the word and you will gain followers. Research on articles and content your competitors have and add something unique to stand-out.

Conversation

You need to make the customers believe you have their best interest in mind. Create posts and content that starts a conversation and rephrase your sentences by replacing the letter I with you.

Consistency

Consistency is the main ingredient that makes the entire strategy work. It’s not just about being consisting in posting or email on a daily basis, but most importantly being consistent with your values, voice and messages.

In real estate your marketing not only reflects how you tell a story of your audience but your beliefs and what you want to be known for. Make sure to work hard and be consistent!

The real estate market scenario in 2020
The year 2020 started with high expectations for the real estate market, mainly after a year of growth like 2019.
A survey conducted by CBIC in 2020 showed that the first quarter of the year had a 26.7% increase in sales compared to the previous year.
However, it didn’t take long for the market to lose steam. With the advancement of the coronavirus in Brazil, the isolation measures and the uncertainty in relation to the coming months caused a setback in the real estate market.
The same survey points to a 14.8% drop in the number of units launched in Brazil compared to the previous year, showing the effects of the crisis on construction companies and the low demand from customers.
It is interesting to remember that this decrease did not happen uniformly in Brazil. The Northeast was the region with the greatest retraction, with a 56.3% lower performance compared to 2019. The second most affected region was the South, with a drop of 29.1%, followed by the Southeast, with 2.4% less sales.
Digital acceleration

What is the new real estate business?
Although several changes have taken place due to the pandemic scenario, the promise is that many of them will remain and become the new normal in the real estate industry.
Management platforms, such as CRM and Office da Vista, for example, helped in the development of administrative and financial activities, being great partners for self-employed professionals and large real estate companies.
Although these solutions already existed in the routine of real estate companies, with the pandemic they proved to be essential for everyday life.
Another point is that the relationship with the customer and the online service remain strong. Of course, digital should not be the main route, but it is a way to establish the first contact and reach a larger audience, especially nowadays.
What to expect from the real estate sector in 2021?
Expectations are high for the real estate market in 2021 and this is for two reasons: the decrease in the Selic rate (Special Settlement and Custody System) and the launch of the new federal government program, Casa Verde e Amarela .
Currently, the Selic rate is at 2% per year, being the lowest rate in the country’s history. The Monetary Policy Committee (Copom) and the Central Bank (BC) reduced these rates precisely to try to stop the recession in the real estate market.
Although it is not possible to guarantee that the rate will remain at this level throughout the year 2021, the expectation for the real estate market in 2021 is that it will not have a great increase, remaining at around 2.75% per year. So, brokers, this is the best time to sell real estate.
Another incentive is the Casa Verde e Amarela program, which replaces Minha Casa Minha Vida. In this new format, the focus is on three fronts: real estate financing, land tenure regularization and housing improvement, also enabling the renovation and expansion of houses.
Real estate profile has also changed
In addition to structural changes, a notable legacy of this period of isolation is the styles of buildings.
With so much time in seclusion, people started to value even more the structure that a condominium and the floor plan of an apartment can offer.
It will not be uncommon for searches for complete condominiums to increase, as well as for buildings close to green areas and more distant from large centers, which are extremely noisy, since most corporate companies adopted the home office until the end of the pandemic state ( which can last until the second half of 2021) or permanently.
This will be noticed especially in families with greater purchasing power, who will prioritize even more comfort in their homes.
