Investment Paradox in Real Estate Sector: A Case Study of Islamabad

ABSTRACT

This study explores the relationship between property size and investment focusing on both larger and smaller properties within the same geographical location. Utilizing a data set ofdiverse properties, the research aims to distinguish between two potential factors influencing price appreciation return associated with property size and the impact of location-related features reflected in property prices. The analysis, conducted on a range of big and small properties, reveals that larger and more valuable properties exhibit lower risk profiles for price appreciation compared to their smaller counter parts within the same location. Furthermore, when properties of similar size are considered, those with a higher price per square meter demonstrate higher return. These findings suggest that the return associated with property price appreciation is not solely dictated by location-related features but is also influenced by the intrinsic characteristics of property size and overall value. The implications of these results extend to the understanding of wealth management, particularly in the context of property investments. Recognizing the distinct influencesofproperty size and location-related features on returns over the period of time provides valuable insights for individuals and institutions engaged in property-related wealth management
