July 2026 did not go quietly. The final trading days of the month brought a wave of profit taking across DHA Lahore File, and almost all of it landed in one place, Phase 10. One Kanal allocations slipped, affidavit files eased, and sellers who rode the mid month rally cashed out before August. Yet while Phase 10 cooled, Phase 7 climbed for the third time in a single week and the Phase 6 commercial ladder refused to move a single rupee. This month end report breaks down the complete rates board dated Friday, 31 July 2026, and explains what the closing numbers mean for buyers heading into August.
Latest DHA Lahore File Rates for Every Active Phase
All figures below are in PKR lacs. Rates are allocation prices unless marked affidavit. Here is where the residential board closed on 31 July 2026.
| Phase | Category | Closing Rate |
| Phase 10 | 5 Marla / 8 Marla / 10 Marla | 30.50 / 37.50 / 54.00 |
| Phase 10 | 1 Kanal | 96.00 |
| Phase 13 (ex DHA City) | 5 Marla / 10 Marla / 1 Kanal | 19.00 / 30.65 / 59.00 |
| Phase 11 Rahbar Sector 4 | 5 Marla / 10 Marla | 35.00 / 75.00 |
| Phase 9 Town | 5 Marla / 10 Marla | 54.00 / 135.00 |
| Phase 9 Prism | 5 Marla | 41.50 (hard to find) |
On the affidavit side, Phase 10 closed at 32.25 for 5 Marla, 43.00 for 8 Marla and 55.50 for 10 Marla, with 1 Kanal affidavit at 103.00 and 2 Kanal at 250.00. Phase 9 Town 5 Marla affidavit held at 60.00. Phase 13 remains the cheapest doorway into DHA Lahore, and even after easing this week, its 5 Marla file at 19.00 is a fraction of what any mature phase demands.
Why Phase 10 Cooled After Its Mid Month Surge
The story of late July is a classic rotation. Phase 10 ran hard through the middle of the month, and when the calendar turned toward August, sellers took their gains off the table. Between 29 and 31 July, the retreat looked like this.
| File | Movement | Change |
| Phase 10 1 Kanal allocation | 99.00 to 96.00 | down 3.00 |
| Phase 10 1 Kanal affidavit | 104.00 to 103.00 | down 1.00 |
| Phase 10 10 Marla affidavit | 58.00 to 55.50 | down 2.50 |
| Phase 10 5 Marla affidavit | 33.25 to 32.25 | down 1.00 |
The 2 Kanal affidavit also eased to 250.00 from 255.00 earlier in the week. None of this resembles distress selling. Volumes stayed orderly and the declines were measured, which is the signature of profit booking rather than panic. For anyone who watched the mid month rally from the sidelines, the market has effectively handed out a second entry point at prices last seen weeks ago.
Phase 7 Refused to Follow the Board
While Phase 10 exhaled, Phase 7 did the opposite. The 7 Marla file firmed again to 47.50, its third rise in a single week, while 5 Marla held steady at 33.25. Dealers watching the tape noticed the pattern early. A rotation out of Phase 10 and into Phase 7 started on Wednesday and was still running when the month closed.
This divergence matters. When capital exits one phase and immediately shows up in another, it signals that money is staying inside DHA Lahore rather than leaving the market altogether. Phase 7 is a developed, possession ready phase, and buyers moving there are trading momentum for maturity. That is usually a healthy signal for the wider market.
Mature Phases Ended July Exactly Where They Started
Stability was the theme across the older phases. Phase 5 M Extension closed the month at 65.00 for 5 Marla, 125.00 for 10 Marla and 200.00 for 1 Kanal, flat through the entire month of July. Phase 8 Z Block 5 Marla sat at 54.00 allocation with affidavit at 58.00, while a 1 Kanal in the coveted Park View D Block held at 260.00. Rahbar Sector 4 in Phase 11 did not move all week at 35.00 and 75.00.
Flat months in mature phases are rarely exciting, but they are exactly what end users want to see. These are possession areas where prices reflect genuine demand for homes rather than speculative file trading, and their steadiness through a volatile month underlines that foundation.
Commercial Files and the Phase 6 Price Floor
The commercial board produced the single most interesting number of the session. Phase 10 8 Marla commercial affidavit rose from 435 to 440, the only riser on the entire board while everything around it dipped or held. Elsewhere, Phase 9 Prism and Phase 9 Town 4 Marla affidavit files closed at 212.00 and 240.00, with allocations at 193.00 and 230.00. The 4 Marla trio of Phase 10, Phase 7 and Rahbar 4 finished at 165, 136 and 130.
What an Unmoved Ladder Tells Serious Buyers
Then there is Phase 6 CCA 3. The entire commercial suite, spanning 600, 750, and 900 for the 4, 5, and 6 Marla options, alongside 1200, 2100, and 6400 for the broader layouts, concluded the month of July without experiencing any price shifts whatsoever. A month of complete stillness at these levels, through a profit taking cycle that touched nearly everything else, is what a price floor looks like. Sellers see no reason to discount and buyers keep absorbing whatever comes to market. For blue chip commercial holders, that is the strongest possible close to a month.
Conclusion
The July 2026 close leaves DHA Lahore in an interesting position. Phase 10 has reset to friendlier levels after its rally, Phase 7 carries genuine momentum into August, Phase 13 remains the most affordable entry ticket on the board, and Phase 6 commercial has confirmed its floor. In the view of market veterans, month end dips of this kind have usually behaved as entry points rather than warnings, though as with any property market, buyers should weigh their own timeline and risk appetite.
If Phase 10 was already on your watchlist, the closing rates deserve a fresh look before August momentum builds.
