5 Marla House Prices in Lahore: What Built Homes Cost Across the City

A 5 marla house in Lahore can ask Rs 1.10 crore or Rs 3.80 crore. Same footprint, same city, nearly 3.5 times the price. The gap is not noise. It is the sum of the society, the block, the construction's age, the finishing grade and how many storeys sit on that small plot. This guide lays out what built 5 marla houses actually ask across Lahore's main societies, pulled from fresh listings on 30 October 2026.

A note on method, because it matters: every figure below is an asking price, a seller's opening demand, not a confirmed transaction. Portals do not publish sale deeds. Treat these bands as the ceiling of the negotiation, not the value. If you are weighing a plot instead, our 5 marla plot price guide covers the same size in land form for the build-versus-buy comparison.

The short answer

Across Lahore's main societies, built 5 marla houses currently ask roughly:

• Rs 1.10 to 1.75 crore in Khayaban-e-Amin and New Lahore City, used and brand-new entry stock
• Rs 1.35 to 2.23 crore in Bahria Orchard's phases 1, 2 and 4
• Rs 2.10 to 2.85 crore in Wapda Town, with the centre of the market around Rs 2.25 to 2.50 crore
• Rs 2.30 to 3.65 crore across DHA's Phase 7, Phase 11 Rahbar and Phase 9 Town
• Rs 3.25 to 3.80 crore in Lake City's M7 sector

Two things explain most of the spread: where the house stands, and what stands on it. A ten-year-old single-storey in a developing block and a brand-new double-storey designer house in Lake City both occupy 5 marlas. They are not the same product, and they should never be priced like one.

What actually moves the number

The society sets the band. Four things move a listing inside it.

Single versus double versus triple storey. In Wapda Town, a double-storey asks around Rs 2.10 to 2.50 crore while a brand-new triple-storey asks Rs 2.85 crore. One extra floor on the same 5 marlas changes the price by roughly a third. Compare storey to storey, never blended averages.

Age and condition. Khayaban-e-Amin's Rs 1.10 to 1.35 crore band is used stock. New Lahore City's Rs 1.14 to 1.75 crore band is mostly brand new. A new house and a used house in neighbouring price bands are different buys: the new one has untested construction, the used one has ten years of wear already priced in. Our house valuation guide explains how age and condition feed into a realistic number.

Furnished or not. In DHA Phase 9 Town, a fully furnished 5 marla asks Rs 3.20 crore against unfurnished asks from Rs 2.65 crore. Furniture is not free in the asking price, so do not average the two together.

Position. Park-facing in Bahria Orchard and Park View City adds roughly Rs 10 to 25 lakh over the same society's ordinary cards. A 45-foot road card in DHA Phase 9 Town pushes toward Rs 3.70 crore. The same position premiums that apply to plots apply to houses, except on houses they stack on top of construction value too.

The build-versus-buy sanity check

A 5 marla double-storey typically carries 1,800 to 2,250 square feet of covered area. Current verified construction rates put grey structure at Rs 2,800 to Rs 3,500 per square foot and standard turnkey finishing at Rs 6,700 to Rs 8,800. That places a new 5 marla double-storey at roughly Rs 1.21 to 1.98 crore before the plot, approvals or design extras.

Run that against the listing bands and the math gets interesting.

In DHA Phase 9 Town, a 5 marla plot asks Rs 1.12 to 1.45 crore. Add Rs 1.21 to 1.98 crore of turnkey construction and the all-in build cost lands near Rs 2.33 to 3.43 crore. Ready houses ask Rs 2.65 to 3.65 crore. The difference is the value of moving in today plus whatever the builder got right or wrong. There is no big bargain in buying ready, and no ripoff either, which is worth knowing before a negotiation.

In Khayaban-e-Amin the equation tilts hard. A 5 marla plot asks roughly Rs 50 to 75 lakh; turnkey construction adds Rs 1.21 to 1.98 crore, so building costs at least Rs 1.71 crore all in. Used houses ask Rs 1.10 to 1.35 crore. Buying used is plainly cheaper than building there, which also explains why the resale market moves.

One live listing corroborates the construction side: a grey-structure double-storey in New Lahore City is listed today at Rs 1.14 crore, sitting squarely in the build-cost zone once land is included. Our guide to building costs in Lahore works through grey structure versus finishing in full detail.

Where 5 marla houses simply do not exist yet

Absence is a finding too. In several societies, no 5 marla house listings surfaced in two separate searches.

Valencia Town produced no 5 marla house listings at all, only plots asking Rs 1.05 to 1.55 crore. One card reading "Palatial Residence 5 Marla 1.30 Cr" was filed under land plots, not houses, which makes it a probable misfiled plot ad. (Shakir Estate's own office sits in Valencia's H-Block commercial area, so this is the society we watch closest. The ready-home market here is thin.)

Etihad Town, LDA City's Jinnah Sector and NFC showed no 5 marla house stock either, only plots. In Askari 11, houses start at 8 marla and around Rs 3.20 crore, so there is no 5 marla tier to price. These are plot-or-build markets, not ready-home markets. If you want a ready 5 marla home, the inventory lives elsewhere.

Traps hiding in 5 marla house listings

• Plot ads filed as houses. Plots in Park View City (Rs 65 to 90 lakh), LDA City (Rs 56 to 65 lakh) and Valencia (Rs 1.05 to 1.55 crore) surface in house searches. Check that Property Type says House, not Plot.
• Stale reposted cards. A 5 marla at Rs 2.35 crore in DHA Phase 9 Town dates to October 2025. A Park View City card at Rs 1.70 crore is from September 2025. A Lake City card at Rs 2.90 crore is from July 2024. Old prices get re-crawled and look current. The freshness check takes ten seconds.
• "2 Crore Deal" bait. One DHA Phase 9 Town ad screams a two-crore deal, roughly 35 percent under the fresh band, with no added date. That gap is not negotiation room. It is either stale or bait.
• Size misfiling. A Bahria Town Gardenia Block card titles itself "5 marla" while the area field says 4 marla. The title is the seller's wish. The area field is the data.
• Villa files dressed as houses. A "5 Marla Double Storey Villa FILE" at Rs 10.35 lakh in Bahria Orchard is a file, not a house. Files and buildings live in different universes.
• Mixed storeys and finishes in one average. Single, double and triple storeys, furnished and unfurnished, grey shell and designer finish all wear the "5 marla house" label. Compare like with like or the average means nothing.

The bands above give you the neighbourhood. For the house itself, check your house's estimated value with Shakir Estate's AI Property Value Estimator, which compares the property against current market evidence for its society, phase and block and returns an estimated range with a rate per marla and a confidence score.

AI valuations are estimates based on available market information and property inputs. Actual sale value can vary according to exact location, condition, plot orientation, street width, development status, demand, documentation and negotiation.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a 5 marla house in DHA Lahore?

Fresh asks on 30 October 2026: DHA Phase 9 Town Rs 2.65 to 3.65 crore, Phase 7 Rs 2.30 to 3.25 crore, Phase 11 Rahbar Sector 02 Rs 2.84 to 3.35 crore. All are asking prices, not transactions.

Which society has the cheapest 5 marla houses?

Khayaban-e-Amin for used stock at Rs 1.10 to 1.35 crore, New Lahore City for brand-new at Rs 1.14 to 1.75 crore, and Bahria Orchard from Rs 1.35 crore. All three sit well below the DHA bands.

Is it cheaper to build or buy a 5 marla house in Lahore?

It depends on the society. In DHA Phase 9 Town, plot plus turnkey construction lands near Rs 2.33 to 3.43 crore against ready houses at Rs 2.65 to 3.65 crore, so the difference is mostly convenience. In Khayaban-e-Amin, used houses at Rs 1.10 to 1.35 crore are plainly cheaper than the Rs 1.71 crore-plus cost of building.

What is the price difference between a single and double storey 5 marla?

In Wapda Town, double-storey houses ask around Rs 2.10 to 2.50 crore while a triple-storey asks Rs 2.85 crore. One extra floor changes the price by roughly a third on the same land.

Are these prices final or negotiable?

Every figure in this guide is a seller's asking price. Negotiation room was not measured in this research, so budget for transfer taxes separately. Our property tax guide lays out the 2026-27 rates for buyers and sellers.

Why are there no 5 marla houses in Valencia or Etihad Town?

Two separate listing searches surfaced only plots in both societies. They are plot-or-build markets for this size. The ready-home inventory sits in societies like DHA Phase 9 Town, Wapda Town, Bahria Orchard and New Lahore City.

If a 5 marla house is on your shortlist, start with the band, not the ad. The same footprint trades at a 3.5x spread across Lahore, and most of that spread is knowable before you pick up the phone. Our house buying checklist covers what to verify in the papers and the building before you pay.
