In Sector B-1 a 5 Marla costs ~PKR 29.5 Lac per marla and a 1 Kanal ~15.8 — an 87% small-plot liquidity premium on the same streets. Why the market prices size this way, and which size fits which job.
Short answer: Same B-1 streets: 5 Marla ~29.5 Lac/marla, 1 Kanal ~15.8 — an 87% liquidity premium. Which size fits which job, priced from the live Aug-2026 table.

The market already voted on plot sizes; most buyers just never see the tally. Here it is from our own August-2026 price table: in Sector B-1 — the one sector selling every size — a 5 Marla asks about PKR 29.5 Lac per marla, an 8 Marla ~22 Lac, a 10 Marla ~20 Lac, and a 1 Kanal about PKR 15.8 Lac per marla. The small plot carries an 87% per-marla premium over the big one, on the same streets. That premium is not irrational — it is the price of liquidity. Understanding it is the whole size decision.
| Size | Bahria Enclave range (Aug 2026) | Buy it for | Accept |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 Marla | 45 Lac – 1.60 Cr | Fastest resale, lowest ticket, deepest demand (H, I, N) | Highest per-marla price; modest street presence |
| 8 Marla | 65 Lac – 2.20 Cr | The in-between value pocket (G, J at wide bands) | Thinner resale pool than 5M — the odd size |
| 10 Marla | 1.00 – 3.00 Cr | The family sweet spot — real house, manageable ticket | Middle of the liquidity curve, middle of everything |
| 1 Kanal | 2.20 – 4.85 Cr | Cheapest land per marla; the A/C/E address premium | Fewest exit buyers; horizon must be years, not months |
The per-marla ladder is the negotiation. Sellers quote totals; buyers should think in per-marla terms inside one sector. Ask us for the current ladder in your target sector — it is how we spot the mispriced listing in a page of correctly-priced ones.
From Sector A’s finished streets to Sector O’s entry tickets — 5 Marla to 4 Kanal, file to allotment to possession — we keep live options in all sixteen sectors, plus DHA Margalla Enclave ballots, files and resales. Buying, selling, or exchanging: one WhatsApp message gets you today’s real options, with verification built in before any token moves.
For speed of exit: 5 Marla in the demand-deep sectors (H, I, N) — the market's most-traded ticket, priced accordingly at up to ~87% more per marla than a Kanal. For patient capital: 1 Kanal in A/C/E, where you're paid a per-marla discount for accepting fewer exit buyers. With capital for one 10 Marla, consider two 5 Marlas in different sectors instead — two exits, two bets.
Liquidity. Every budget can bid on a 5 Marla, so it enjoys the deepest buyer pool and fastest resale — and the market charges for that convenience (B-1: ~29.5 Lac/marla for 5M vs ~15.8 for 1 Kanal, Aug 2026). The Kanal buyer accepts a thinner exit market and is compensated with cheaper land per marla. Neither is mispriced; they are different products.
Maqsad par hai. Jaldi bechna ya pehli investment: 5 Marla (H, I, N me demand sab se gehri, exit sab se tez). Ghar banana hai 2-4 saal me: 10 Marla behtar ghar deta hai aur ticket sambhalne layak rehta hai. Aur agar 10 Marla ka budget hai magar maqsad sirf investment hai — do alag sectors me do 5 Marla aksar zyada samajhdari hai: ek hi paisa, do exit.
Sector letters are not a price ranking — development stage is. A sector-by-sector read of where the risk sits and where the value is, from A's certainty premium to O's litigation caveat.
5 Marla 75–90k, 10 Marla 135–195k, 1 Kanal ~3.5 lakh monthly. Live Aug-2026 bands, where the tenants actually are, and why a premium-sector build-to-rent grosses ~3.8%, not the 7% you were quoted.
+8% in six months, +0.5% year-on-year — both true. Underpass tailwinds, a CDA notice nobody mentions, and why sector selection beats society averages. With sources.
